Thanks to Motto + Fleur for providing me with product. All thoughts are my own.
If I could sum up #motherhood in just one phrase, it would be 'handling it.' No doubt. A preschooler and third-grader at two different schools, with different schedules, a loaded work and volunteer schedule for myself, and a hubby who works the craziest hours in the world... mixed with family life and the expected day to day busyness... yes, handling it. How am I handling it? Some days, I have no idea what the day will wind up looking like.
Sure, I start each day with a flowery picture in my mind of an organized home, with clean-clothed kids at the end of the school day, and little hearts popping up over every Instagrammable moment. Reality check- I'm a work-at-home, self-employed mom of two, who does endless loads of laundry, runs the dishwasher daily, is a secret chauffer, an impatient peace-keeper, cuddle monster, works from 5 am to 11 pm, and sometimes orders takeout for dinner. That's what handling motherhood looks like. It's leaning on mom friends while you navigate the craziness of motherhood together. It's early mornings on zero sleep and long nights. It's endless hugs and kisses from your littles, and no matter how old they are, you'll never stop telling them that they are your everything.
At Motto + Fleur, motherhood is met with style, grace, and a little bit of humor. Moms have tons of reasons to smile, but sometimes we're overwhelmed by the everyday expectations of parenting that we just forget to take the time to do it (smile, that is).
I was recently connected with Alyse Bressner, founder of Motto + Fleur. Alyse and I discussed holiday gift ideas for moms, and she had just the perfect gift in mind!
My beautiful holiday gift package from Motto + Fleur arrived beautifully wrapped.
I couldn't wait to see the ultimate must-have holiday gift for moms from Motto + Fleur! I excitedly unwrapped the gift, and fell into a tiny little mom coma, overwhelmed by soft fabric, and a hilarious printed statement.
The Ultimate Hoodie for Moms this Holiday Season
The softest, most comfortable hoodie I have ever worn- with a hilarious message.
This simple, yet sophisticated hoodie is every mom's dream! I'll admit, I've never been much of a hoodie-wearer, but this is a lightweight hoodie that it perfect for layering, and I have basically lived in it since I received it. It's a gorgeous charcoal gray color with white heat pressed letters. It is buttery soft, and is fitted, yet slightly loose and oh, so comfortable.
A real look at motherhood - handling an uncooperative three-year-old.
This hoodie has already become my very favorite apparel item for fall and winter this season. I've worn it out to lunch, paired with cute booties and pearls, and have bummed around the house in it, paired with my pajama pants. Dress it up, dress it down, do your holiday shopping and errand-running in it- it's perfect for every day! You'll be the talk of the town among mamas in this hoodie, and all of your mom friends will be jelly- asking where they can get their hands on one. The answer is simply Motto + Fleur, and there are lots of other cute and fun t-shirts, tanks, and hoodies, too!
The Handling It #motherhood hoodie is just $34.00, and would make an amazing holiday gift for any mama in your life!
Motto + Fleur is all about moms- there to support, uplift & encourage through their oh, so easy to wear apparel and gifts! I feel like I can take on the world when I'm wearing my soft and clever hoodie. I guarantee you will absolutely love this piece of clothing and reach for it again and again! I also like the custom Canadian hoodies by ThatShirt.
