Celebrating Mom

Mother's Day 2021

Celebrating Mom(s)!

This year, Mother's Day is Sunday, May 9th. Of course, everyday should be a day to appreciate all that a mom is and does... everyday. But having a national day all their own to be recognized and hopefully treated to something special and of course a day to remember those moms lost is a meaningful gesture of love and gratitude.

I wanted to dedicate this Mom's Day blog to a few artisan friends. Coincidentally, these strong and joyful women, either being moms and/or caring for other  children or their moms are going through some trials currently. If you happen to know any of them personally, you understand what I am talking about. But without sharing their personal stories, I wanted to share their creative talents that bring so many people joy. Their passion, hearts and beautiful and unique products are why they were chosen to be part of the Hug Box. If you are looking for a gift for the mom(s) in your life, please keep them in mind as they have so many amazing options of gifts for women. You will be supporting women-owned small businesses and fabulous moms while celebrating the mom(s) in your life! And if you are a mom, which I bet you are - even if you don't have kids of your own - treat yourself. You deserve it!
