Promptly Journal: For a new or soon-to-be mom, I love gifting promptly journals. These journals are beautifully designed with custom prompts that help document your child's life. It covers from when the mother is pregnant until the child is 18. They also offer marriage/love story and adoption journals as well.

Freshly Picked diaper bag: Every mom with young kiddos needs a good diaper bag/backpack and this one from Freshly Picked is the perfect mix of style and function. It’s so roomy and the new colors are perfect for your spring wardrobe.
iPad: I’ve got my eye on the new iPad—-it’s the perfect Mother’s Day gift to me as a work at home mom on the go and blogger/content creator. I can edit my photos on the go, and check my emails and social media.
Soludos espadrilles: I’m a huge fan of espadrilles in spring/summer and Soludos is my favorite brand! Miles are a big trend also, and this pair will go great with everything from a casual dress to a pair of short and a tie front blouse.
Favorite ONA - the Presidio camera strap + the Palma satchel: I’ve been on the hunt for a good leather camera strap, and the Presidio is perfect for us momtogs! I take a ton of a photos of my kids, and this strap will help maintain control of the camera while chasing them around to capture the perfect snap. My favorite ONA bag is The Palma. I’m obsessed with this bag! I love that it looks like a handbag but super functional for my camera and lenses. It has compartments for everything, and cognac is the perfect spring/summer color.

Lake Pajamas: As a new mom, there’s nothing more important than a pair of comfy pajamas to wear at the end of a long day. I’m a huge fan of Lake Pajamas and already have the pants set, but would love this shorter set for spring and summer.
Outdoor Voices Leggings: Even though it can be hard to find time to work out between work-life and mom-life, I’ve been dying to try a pair of these Outdoor Voices leggings for those rare opportunities I do have to work out.
Local Eclectic Moonstone Ring: I’ve always loved simple jewelry, but I saw this ring on Instagram and loved how it was simple with a touch of flair that would really complement my style.
Smitten Kitchen Cookbook: Ever since having a baby, my husband and I cook so much more at home and have loved trying new recipes. I’ve followed the Smitten Kitchen blog for years and always love her recipes, so I’d be so excited about having a copy of her cookbook to own.
Favorite ONA - The Campbell Crossbody: My new favorite ONA is the Campbell Crossbody in desert rose, and I can totally see myself wearing this to a Mother’s Day brunch and all spring, really. I’ve always loved this light pink color, and this it’s neutral enough to go with most anything!
