As a busy full-time fashion editor and mother of two, I'd love for Mother's Day: less time doing laundry and working on the computer and more quality time with my kiddos. Oh, a little more sleep and "me" time wouldn't go amiss either. Throw in free childcare while we're at it. Not too much to ask, is it?!
Okay, so I can't wish for miracles, but parenting really is a wonderful and crazy mixed bag of emotions—and by far one of the most magical, challenging, blissful, emotional, tender, exhausting, and joyous experiences of my whole life—and I'm not going to lie, it sure is lovely to feel that little token of appreciation on Mother's Day. While I don't expect anything (but plenty of hugs and kisses!), I definitely wouldn't say no to some of the gorgeous gifts below. From luxurious face masks to cozy bath robes and pretty lipsticks, as well as cute and practical pieces for first-time moms, below I'm sharing a lovely list of items from Nordstrom that I think any mom would love. Take a peek below to get inspired.
