Homemade Lavender Vanilla Soap to Show Mom You Love Her on Mother’s Day
How to Really Show Mom You Love Her on Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is dedicated to some of the hardest working and most patient people in the world. Moms are always there for you no matter what. They work hard to take care of their kids and to point you in the right direction so you can have a good start in life. Your mom will always be there when you need her for as long as she can, so why not go all out to show mom how much you really love her on Mother’s Day?
Here’s how:
1.Stop by and spend the day doing the things she wants to do. This is a great opportunity for you to talk and get to know your mom better as a person, not just the woman who took care of you growing up.
2. Tell her with a quote engraved in a bracelet or heart necklace. The words you choose will be a constant reminder of your love.
3. Take her out to lunch, just the two of you. She’ll love spending this quality time with you catching up on things.
4. Tell her how much she means to you. Nothing beats giving your mom a hug and saying, “I love you” and “I’m thankful you’re my mom”.
5. Get creative and write her a poem or make her something you know she could use like this Homemade Lavender Vanilla Soap. Moms love homemade gifts from the heart and when you choose something useful, she’ll love it even more.

Intructions:
Step 1. Sprinkle some lavender flowers into the molds.
Step 2. Cut soap base into cubes (this can easily be done with a butter knife), and place in measuring cup.
Step 3. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir very well. If not completely melted, repeat for 10 second intervals until fully melted.
Step 4. Add essential oils.

The best gifts are not always something you can buy. Sometimes, sharing your time and companionship is what mom really wants. Talk, laugh and spend time together not just on Mother’s Day, but all year long.
Happy Mother’s Day!
