Remember when the Peace Corps adopted the slogan “The toughest job you’ll ever love”? No offense, Peace Corps, but that adage is more appropriate for motherhood — a job that is ever-changing and frequently exasperating. Moms don’t get days off, nor do they receive handsome salaries or generous pensions. Instead, their rewards come in the form of sticky kisses, necklaces made of elbow macaroni, and the satisfaction of seeing their children grow up to be happy, healthy adults. That’s probably not adequate compensation — so give Mom an extra hug or a special gift on Mother’s Day, the second Sunday in May.

The undying love and selfless sacrifices of mothers are returned with some royal treatment of them on Mother’s Day. It’s the day to pamper the queen of the household herself! Think gifts, breakfast in bed, hand-drawn cards with stickers on them, a shopping spree or spa day, the works!

Most common traditions of the day include the kids and dad taking over the house chores and cooking for the day, spending extra time with mom, and buying mom traditional gifts like flowers, jewelry, or an item that she has had her eyes on for a while. There are great sales and discounts across several stores and restaurants, as well as special deals only for mothers. Movies and episodes related to mothers or Mother’s Day are aired all day long, and talk shows and segments featuring celebrity mothers. Speaking of celebrities, mothers are the stars of the day, so their photos are all over social media.

At Meadow, we are here for all your Mother’s Day gift needs. We have some really great clothing pieces right now, lovely candles, stylish earrings, trendy handbags and sunglasses. There is something here for every mom on your list. With the weather warming up, you find some great Spring pieces that will take you right into Summer. The colors you see in Meadow are popping up every where in gardens around town. Oh the joy of it all! This is the time we live for in Seattle. Every mom deserves a special gift from her loving children and sometimes that just a special card and and a day spent together. Whatever it is, check out Meadow for some great ideas that will surely make your mom smile!

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

HYFVE has some really fun flower, pink pieces this week with a black jumpsuit exactly like the green one that we had recently. Also, front tie dresses in navy and olive. There is great elastic detailing in the back. In the color pink, there is a cute collared top that brings lots of great attention to you when you walk into a room. BE COOL with tees, tops, a dress, a skirt and fun, oh my! NOSTALGIA has a cactus skirt that is already selling fast and LOLA P with a boho skirt. Too cute. I have paired many tops and skirts together this week so you can see how versatile they can be in your wardrobe.

We hope you enjoy the weekend with your mom and whatever the rest of your week may bring! We look forward to seeing you and helping you find that special something. We have so much to chose from right now. Fun colors, fun pieces, fun styles. What else could you ask for? Meadow maybe be smaller but we still pack a punch with all our new arrivals each week. Check out all we have to inspire below. We are certain there is something that will tickle your fancy. And if your a mom, buy something for yourself - that’s also acceptable! I am going to do that and I feel great about it! xoxoxoxo

“Motherhood brings you to your knees in a way that doesn't leave room for you to judge others. It makes you see that there's no ideal — a constant struggle, constantly compromising, but ultimate love.” ~ Maggie Gyllenhaal
