Mother's Day + Giveaway

We made it halfway through this week (claps for everyone)! As I look at the weeks ahead in my favorite Sugar Paper planner, it is covered in events galore. One event coming up that holds a special place in my heart is Mother's Day.

“I realized when you look at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.”

 —Mitch Albom 

Mother's Day (FYI it's Sunday, May 10) is a time to recognize all the great women in our life who have been there since day one. She watched as we took our first step, said our first word, had our first hit on our little league team, attended our first school dance, learned how to drive, went on our first date, got our first job; she's been there through it all! It's a day to show our love and appreciation for all that she's done and continues to do, day in and day out.

I have a few things up my sleeve for my Mom, but being that she is my proclaimed "#1 Fan," I know she will be reading this the moment it's up. But if you're in need of ideas, here are a few recommendations:

• Spa Day - The Ritz Carlton here in Buckhead (or Downtown) are amazing! I "tested" out the new Spring menu earlier this week, and received a wonderful massage by my girl, Melinda! Seriously do yourself and your sweet Mother a favor, and get the 'Sun Kissed Deluxe' massage. 90 minutes of pure relaxation topped off with a glass of champagne. Need I say more?
• diptyque Candles - These candles are the best! With close to fifty scents, some of which were inspired by childhood memories, there is something for every Mom. Head on over to Buckhead Atlanta to pick a few up today, or visit their site to place your order!
• Garnish + Gather - OK, I'm a bit biased when it comes to this company, but they're awesome! And what Mother (or person) doesn't love the gift of food, am I right?! Head on over to get your Mom the gift of a meal for two, or better yet...ENTER IN MY GIVEAWAY! That's right, I've teamed up with Garnish + Gather to give ONE lucky WINNER a meal for two. Here are the rules: 
•  Post a pic of you and your cute Mom, and let me know what your favorite meal she made for you as a kid was. Then use the #garnishandgather + #kalemekelly. Super easy, right?! I will pick from the posts and announce the WINNER on MAY 3! PS - How cute is my Mom?! Favorite thing she made for our fam growing up was her Chicken Tetrazzini...YUM-O!

Hope you all have a great rest of the week! And get those #tbt pics and entries in ASAP for the GIVEAWAY! XO
