Jillee THIS WEEK’S DIGITAL DOWNLOAD Start (And Finish) Your Mother's Day Gift Search Here [Photos of Jillee putting together Mother's Day gifts.]( Mother’s Day is a week away, but with the help of these freebies and gift ideas, you won’t have to sweat it. With fewer visiting restrictions in place this year, I’m looking forward to making sure my mom has an extra special Mother’s Day. I’ve been thinking about what to give her and have decided it should be something handmade or with a personal touch, since I know she appreciates the gesture as least as much as the gift itself. I do too, for that matter—I think most of us moms have that in common! And I'm hoping to give you a head-start on a thoughtful gift for your mom (or any other special mom in your life) with the list of 9 Mother’s Day gift ideas I've put together. Whether she's an avid cook, bookworm, or globetrotter, this list has a gift she'll love. And don’t think I’ve forgotten about your digital download—in addition to gift ideas, I’ve got a couple of different downloads to help you get your Mother’s Day gift giving squared away. The first is sure to be of use to those who won’t be able to be with Mom in person this year. It's a Mother’s Day postcard you can download, print, and mail to any mom you want to recognize this year. (Alternatively, you could print the design in any size and use it as part of your gift wrap. Feel free to get creative with it!) With the second download, you can give her the gift of getting exactly what she wants from the By Jillee Shop. Just download the printable gift card, fill it out with the details from a [By Jillee Shop e-gift card](, and it’ll be ready to give to Mom. You can find all of these things —the list of 9 Mother’s Day gift ideas, the printable Mother’s Day postcard, and the printable gift card—at the link below.

We expect a lot of ourselves when we attempt to take on the role of interior designer in our own homes. Because arranging furniture, along with the other aspects of interior design, is an artistic and creative endeavor that takes time and practice to master. Expecting yourself to be able to replicate the sorts of designs you've seen in magazines or on design websites is like expecting an amateur to be able to look at a drawing made by an experienced artist and then recreate it perfectly on their own. We all know that drawing isn't nearly as easy as it looks, and the same goes for interior design. As laymen, we struggle to recreate great design on our own because we don't have the same knowledge of design fundamentals as experienced professionals. But on the bright side, we don't need any special training to learn what not to do, so that's what we're focusing on today. I’ve rounded up 7 common mistakes we make when arranging furniture in our homes, which can help you identify what to avoid (or what can be corrected) in your own home. Check out the list at the link below.
