If you’re looking for fun, thoughtful ways to celebrate Mom this Mother’s Day, lifestyle expert and LifeMinute’s editor-in-chief, Joann Butler has you covered. Here are a few easy, feel-good gift ideas she’s loving right now:

Start with a little self-care—always a win. Olay’s Super Serum Body Wash and matching Body Lotion make a great duo. Formulated with advanced skincare ingredients and super serum technology, to visibly firm, even, and brighten skin for all skin types. Ingredients like niacinamide, beta-hydroxy acid (BHA), collagen peptides, and vitamins C and E help deliver real results—right in the shower.

For best results, apply lotion while skin is still damp to lock in moisture. The Super Serum Body Lotion does exactly that, leaving skin soft, hydrated, and glowing—and the scent is a bonus. You can find the body wash for $12.99 and lotion $14.99 at your favorite retailer and online at olay.com.

If you’re planning breakfast in bed or baking something sweet, add a little extra love with Reynolds Wrap’s new Hearts Fun Foil. The embossed heart design turns everyday wrapping into something special—perfect for gifting homemade treats or dressing up leftovers. It’s a simple touch that makes the moment feel more meaningful. Available at stores like Walmart, Target, and Amazon.

And for the nostalgic mom, especially fans of The Brady Bunch, check out Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond by Eve Plumb. The book shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time on the show, along with personal reflections from her life and career. Signed copies are available at Greenlight Bookstore. You can also browse her charming collection of gifts, artwork, and even coffee at PlumbGoods—perfect for unique, creative finds (especially for dog lovers).

Whether you go with pampering essentials, a heartfelt homemade moment, or a touch of nostalgia, these ideas are all about making Mom feel appreciated—and bringing a little extra joy to her day.

Three days. One desert. Unforgettable moments.

This is the Stagecoach Festival—the largest country music festival in the world—where the music is loud, the dust flies, and the memories run deep.

This year, Arm & Hammer Laundry showed up like never before as the exclusive sponsor of the Half-Pint Hootenanny—partnering with ACM Best New Female Artist, Avery Anna, as well as singer/songwriter Hannah McFarland for meet and greets —inviting families, fans, and even performers to come as they are and come clean with Arm & Hammer Deep Clean.

At the heart of the festival, the Half-Pint Hootenanny brought that promise to life—with a one-of-a-kind, family-friendly space where kids and parents could create, play, and connect without holding back. Embracing the mantra that mess isn’t a problem—it’s part of the fun.

If you are a procrastinator, you’re not alone. Studies suggest more than 70% of Americans say they habitually procrastinate on daily tasks, especially this time of year between spring cleaning, daily work assignments, and tax time.

That’s why tax prep company Jackson Hewitt has declared Thursday, April 2 National Get it Done Day. They say it’s about turning procrastination - or what they like to call “protaxination”- into progress.

With more than half of Americans (51%) admitting they spend more time worrying about tasks than actually doing them, April 2's Get it Done Day offers a simple solution: pick one thing, get some help, finish it, and feel the difference, no matter what it is.

If it is taxes, they want to help by making it even easier to get them done and get you the biggest refund you deserve. Great news for the 62% that state having tax help would push them to act sooner.
