I have been a momma for almost 12 years, and I love jewelry, candles, flowers, and chocolate, but quite honestly, I have had enough of all of those. And I know my mom and mother-in-law are, too. So I asked myself, “What would I like to get for Mother’s Day?” And the answer was so simple… something the boys could make me! So that is what spawned the idea to find an easy, inexpensive, and kid-friendly project we could do for the Grandmas.

I have this thing for succulents right now, but I don’t have any in my home. So that is where it all started! I also wanted a cement planter, and I had found ways to make them, but they weren’t super easy and seemed to have lots of room for error, which, with my luck, is never a good idea! While doing a search on Amazon, I found these vases that looked like cement, were small, and just the right price! But they were so plain, so I started looking up ways to spruce them up! And found super cute painted vases! And, here is the tutorial that my boys helped with every step of the way!
