Mother's Day: the real gifts to give
A mental unload
Let's open the dictionary for the definition of mental load: "the need to simultaneously think about things belonging to two physically separate worlds". Translation: when you're at work, you're thinking about home, the shopping list, the little one's vaccinations, the laundry to do, and so on. To achieve that famous "mental unload", you'll need to practise and align everyone's roles in the household. To help you, we've spotted Tiffany Cooper's book: Homme Sweet Homme.
Less guilt
Come on, let's hold hands and repeat together: "I have the right to take time for myself, I have the right to not feel like playing with my child, I have the right to make pasta 4 days in a row and to serve loads of Popotes" (which are super tasty and healthy anyway). We do what we can and that's already great! The best reminder is undoubtedly this superb Garçon Milano poster, Mothers Can. Stick it on your fridge, or frame it without delay!

A child-free weekend
Just as we don't work on Labour Day, we'd quite like to be child-free on Mother's Day. On the agenda: spa, massage and a glass of champagne with a group of friends, for a whole weekend. Works just as well with a partner! We love the guesthouse Enamoura, in Marseille.
A weekend with children
Because we have every right to want it all and its opposite, we can also wish to spend time with our favourite people in the world in a dream location like the Es Raco Darta in Majorca or the Moulin des Lambottes.
A good dose of love for this wonderful new body
This body, which has been with you since birth, carries (or has carried) a baby. It is time to treat it (and yourself!) like a true heroine! You deserve a little love, don't you? That's why we love Jolibump clothing, because it helps us navigate a new chapter for our bodies. So add a pair of leggings or a dress to your wishlist to celebrate your goddess body.

A beautiful design object
After pouring your heart and soul into building your dream home, banish anything ugly — especially (and above all) with the arrival of a baby. Our suggestion for adding a design touch to your nursery equipment: the LEVO bouncer or the TIBU high chair, which will delight everyone. Can you beat that?
Full nights of sleep
We ultimately have little control over our children's sleep, so we might as well act on what we can, right? And you can treat yourself to the cosiest of beds with sheets by La Cerise sur le Gâteau and a beautiful duvet by Le Lucas du Tertre, of course.
