Now, I slacked a little on my blog hopping yesterday as it was Mother's Day and I needed the time to finish up my gifts and visit both of our families. I WILL be catching up! For now, take a gander at the homemade portion of what we gifted our mothers and my grandmother.

| I etched the brass and then wire wrapped crystals that are the birthstones of each's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren (as applies). I'm pretty sure they were well-received as each of the ladies put on their necklaces immediately! |
This week looks as if it's going to be a little crazy in the evenings, so the dinner plans are weak. In any case, here's my meal plan.
Breakfasts: cereal/oatmeal, waffles, peanut butter toast, eggs w/bacon & toast, muffins
Lunches: Leftovers, pizza quesidillas, soup w/grilled cheese, bean burritos, tuna noodles. chicken salad, turkey sandwiches
Dinners:
Cheesy jalapeno popper baked stuffed chicken w/corn & rice mix
Grilled steaks w/sweet potatoes & green beans
There's more Menu Plan Monday at I'm an Organizing Junkie.

What a great idea for a gift! Love it! I'd have put it on immediately as well. :-)
ReplyDeleteHope, what sweet gifts for the special ladies in your life! I know they must have truly appreciated these handmade necklaces. Your Unearthed piece is really pretty, and I like how it will go with everything with all of those great colors!
ReplyDeleteCindy- I do think they liked the necklaces, though I'm not sure how often they will wear them. Thank you so much for stopping by. I really appreciate it! :)
ReplyDeleteYour mom necklaces are so lovely, such a charming idea to include the birthstone and the Unearthed necklace is a winner.
ReplyDeleteAs for the menu planning, well what can I say except I wish I lived at your house, having all those meals planned and cooked for me is my idea of heaven.
