Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's day to all of you moms out there! And a special Happy Mother's Day to the best mom in the whole world! (That would be mine in case anyone is wondering). So tell me what are your plans for today? For me I think my grandma has planned a big family get together, (at our house?) Other than that I'm not sure what's happening. This morning me and my dad got up at 6:00 and went driving around to borrow lilacs from the lilac bushes in our neighborhood for my mom because they are her favorite flower. Unfortunately there were only two known lilac bushes in the area so we came home with a rather pathetic bunch of flowers. Since I am too broke to buy my mom a present I had to make her something and considering I'm at all "artsy fartsy" It turned out very well. I made her a Coffee Face Scrub and put it in a mason jar with a lid then took a square piece of retro looking cloth and put it over the lid and held it there with a ribbon. Then I tied a small bunch of lilacs to it. I lost the instructions for the Coffee Face Scrub so don't ask me where I got it. But if I remember correctly it is: 1 Cup coffee grounds, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup olive oil, and 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon. mix it all together and put it in an airtight container. It will keep for 2 months. You just put it on your damp face scrub it around then rinse it off with warm water and pat dry. I highly recommend ya'll make it even just for yourselves because it smells absolutely divine!
