May first usually means one thing for me: it’s time to start narrowing the field of iPhone screenshots and email forwards I’ve collected in search of the perfect gift for the leading lady in my life. Whether it’s your mama, grandmother, MIL, or that special life mentor who has always felt like a mom, May fourteenth is just around the corner. Here are some of our favorite ideas for Mothers Day 2017:
