Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and it will be my first as an empty nester. I’ve had some time to adjust to this new way of life, and I’ve settled into it nicely.

The kids are off making their mark on the world, and, my husband and I are having fun discovering ways to spend the extra time that we have been granted. It has been a beautiful journey of rediscovery, one that I hope you too will embrace when the time comes. So stick around as I share with you some neat Mother’s Day gift ideas for empty nesters.
