Lacy Cozy Pillow
Show your love to your mom with a personal touch. If you know how to sew, get this idea: A Cozy Pillow she can comfortably put on her lap (like I usually do) while watching T.V., or under her toes while she reads her book. How sweet is that?

She isn’t really a cake girl (for now). She will … Read entire article »
