things my mom would like

With Mother's Day coming up, I'm (not-so-secretly, now) plotting what to gift my mom. For as long as I can remember, she has always worked really hard. So naturally when we try to come up with gifts for her, they tend to lean on the relaxing side of things... Some ideas:

Rifle Paper Company card, (my hometown) Baltimore's finest: Berger Cookies, Fig + Yarrow Floral Milk Bath, Serena & Lily robe, Barnes & Noble spree, please!, readers, Kate Spade's Nadine bag (hint, hint, dad), Chapstick (as always), Scrabble, teacup

P.S. Those cookies will change your life. Sincerely, anyone from Salty Balty.

I'm not here. You didn't see me. If anyone asks, I'm writing my thesis.

But first, how beautiful is the styling (and product) for the latest Proud Mary line?

Pattern, texture and color play, oh my!

That's it. Enjoy! And I'm off... (insert puff of smoke here)
