11 Affordable Mother's Day Gift Ideas

11 affordable (an in some cases, free) gift ideas for Mother’s Day

Finding the perfect gift for Mom on Mother’s Day isn’t always easy. You might assume that you need to pull out all the stops and spend big bucks to show her how much you appreciate all that she does. But, the truth is, you don’t have to spend that much to show Mom you love her.

1.  Do-nothing day—plenty of moms would love to spend a day not having to lift a finger or spend the day doing just what they want to do. So give your mom a card that tells her she is entitled to a day off—and be sure to honor it!

2.  Spa day—many spas offer Mother’s Day specials for massages and other services, so call around to find the best deal.

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins

Blueberry Muffins made with Gluten Free Oat Flour, Applesauce and Coconut Oil

These gluten free muffins are super moist, hearty and delicious! Perfect for breakfast, brunch or a late afternoon snack. You can also make them dairy free and Vegan by swapping out the egg for a Flax egg and using non-dairy milk.  Inspired by this recipe I found at beamingbaker.com, these gluten free blueberry muffins remind me of a warm bowl of oatmeal with a drizzle of blueberry preserves — Yum!

Pre-heat oven to 350 F degrees and line a 12 muffin pan with muffin liners.
