Two of my boys have birthdays coming up next week, and while they’re celebrating in different states (cue the mom heart), I still want them to feel just how loved they are.
Since I can’t hug them in person, I’m sending hugs in a box… in the form of baked goods. 💛
This year, I found a lemon sugar cookie recipe that felt just right. I’m mostly sticking to it—but I added my own little twist: homemade lemon sanding sugar with fresh lemon peel. It felt like the perfect way to give those cookies an extra pop of sunshine on top.
And because lemon and blueberry are basically best friends… I couldn’t stop there. I’m also baking blueberry muffins to tuck into their boxes. Now it’s a bit of a race against the clock to get everything mailed out fresh, but I think it’ll be such a sweet little surprise when they open them.
Baking for my family has always been one of my favorite things. I’ve spent countless hours in the kitchen making meals, treats, and memories for them. But somewhere along the way, I realized something important—I love doing things for me, too. And making space for that matters
That’s actually one of the reasons I created Woodland! T-Shirt Club for Moms. It’s a small, simple way to treat yourself—fun, thoughtful graphic tees designed just for moms, delivered each month. At $25, it’s an easy yes… and a reminder that you deserve a little something, too.
So today, I hope you take a moment for yourself—whether that’s a quiet 15-minute reading break, a quick at-home facial, or finally doing that little thing you’ve been putting off.
You deserve it.
Love,
Jenn
