Hi there! Laura from The Experimental Home here. I am so excited to be guest posting over here at 32 Turns today! Before I give you the details about an awesome thank-you gift for any woman in your life, I thought I would tell you a little bit about myself. You know, so you aren’t taking crafty advice from a stranger.
I am a scientist by day, and a wife and mama all the time. As a scientist I learn by doing experiments, and it turns out that I do the same thing at home. I never know what I am doing until I’m done. Sound familiar? I bet it does. My blog is all about those everyday experiments.
Today I am sharing with you not one, but two experiments, all wrapped up in a nifty little package… Well the package is actually the second experiment. Anyway, let’s get started.

Mother, a Word That Means the World to Me
Somewhere once I read these lines, “Mother, a word that means the world to me.” They rang so true when I read them and they still ring so true today. I love being a Mom, ok..some days are super hard, but I wouldn’t trade the good moments, the joyful moments, the peaceful moments with my kids for all the bad moments in the world. I love Mother’s Day because it helps to remind me to focus on the things I LOVE about being a mom instead of the things I don’t. It is a chance to set aside my to do list for the day and just play with my kids and enjoy all the little surprises they and their dad have cooked up. Being a Mother is awesome, it is definitely a word that means a lot to me.
I Love my mom. She is fantastic and is another reason that the word Mother is so meaningful. Just look at her cute smiling face with all the grand babies gathered around. Today is also so wonderful because it gives me the opportunity to think about her and all the reasons that I am so thankful she is my mom. I love you mom!!
To all those Mother’s out there of any kind, whether you have kids, or nieces, or you are a teacher or a mentor or a friend. Mothering comes in all shapes and sizes and it takes all kinds.
Happy Mother’s Day to you!

Teacher Appreciation Gift {free printable}
Last week I became the new PTSA president for the 2013-2014 school year at my daughter’s elementary school. I am super excited and to be honest a bit overwhelmed by the enormity of the task. But like my husband says, “it’s like an elephant, you gotta take it ONE bite at a time.” This is often his advice to me, it is his way of trying to get me to calm the heck down and relax! Good luck I tell him! Relax…calm down… those are things I do not know how to do!! Anyone relate?

Women’s Weekend
I do love a good getaway, but a girls only vacation…..now that is the stuff that dreams are made of! Am I right? Seriously, I am totally right! Every year the women in my family (on my mom’s side) get together for 4 days of sun, pool, food, shopping, gabbing, oh…and more shopping! This little trip has been a tradition for well over 3o years now and last week was this years trip. I remember distinctly when my Grandma sat my husband down when he was my fiance and made him promise to support me in attending this yearly excursion throughout the years of my marriage, even after we had kids. He has so wonderfully kept his promise and I have been able to attend almost every year. It is a super fun filled 4 days and I always leave completely exhausted and broke, and already looking forward to next year!
Now, we do have a few rules just to keep the trip on the right track: 1) No babies. Unless your baby is in your belly, you can’t come. 2) No men, that means no boyfriends, brothers, husbands or fiance’s 3)You have to be 18 to attend, this allows us to speak freely and tell stories without the running the risk of offending younger ears (hee hee) I am probably the reason this rule was put into place, the later into the night it gets, well….let’s just say I lose my filter!
