Mother's Day lifestyle

A Letter from Maple

Six hard working moms.
Six dream day itineraries.

Mother's Day looks different for everyone — some moms want quiet, some want the full family circus, some want a couples massage and a cheese board. These are real-inspired wish lists from women on the Maple team: honest, specific, and deeply personal — along with their top gift picks.

01
Jessica and family

01 — Solo Reset Day

Jessica Jalowiec

"A morning entirely mine."

Jess's ideal Mother's Day starts with headphones in and a favorite podcast on. A solo walk that belongs entirely to her. From there, no-agenda shopping, wandering into whatever catches her eye, maybe with her sister in tow. A leisurely matcha somewhere quiet. And then, only then: a low-key backyard hang with neighbors and family, one that someone else planned, without her input.

What she's asking for

Parker Clay Merkato Tote lifestyle

Parker Clay Merkato Tote

"I just want a bag I actually love carrying. Something that doesn't look like a mom bag."

Alex Perry and family

02 — Classic Family Beach Day

Alex Perry

"Bikes, blankets, and well-behaved children."

Alex's version of the perfect Mother's Day is the kind of classic you don't mess with. Breakfast cooked at home, handwritten cards from the boys, a family bike ride that no one complains about, a beach picnic that stays sandy in all the right ways, and a quiet dinner where, in her ideal world, the children are inexplicably delightful. A mom can dream.

What she's asking for

Jova Smoothie Kit lifestyle

Jova Smoothie Kit

"Mornings are chaos. I just want something that's actually good for them that I don't have to think about. Easy, healthy, done."

Julia Richter and family

03 — The No-One-Needs-Me Day

Julia Richter

"Nobody needs anything from me. Not once."

Julia's dream Mother's Day is a full exhale. Breakfast in bed, unhurried and unprompted — then reading with the kids piled in close. A family hike where the trail does the talking. A long beach afternoon. Then dinner surrounded by the broader family — the big, warm kind that fills a table and a room. A relaxing day with her favorite people.

What she's asking for

Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket lifestyle

Cozy Earth Bubble Cuddle Blanket

"If I'm getting breakfast in bed, I want to be genuinely cocooned. Wrapped in something ridiculously soft that I never have to share."

Katey Taylor and family

04 — Grown-Up Escape

Katey Taylor

"Just the two of us, while the baby naps."

Having a new baby is all-consuming in the best way, but Katey knows that a little one-on-one time with her husband goes a long way. Her ideal Mother's Day is beautifully simple: a couples massage, then a picnic just the two of them. Somewhere quiet, no baby monitor in earshot. Just a few unhurried hours together before heading home to the person who made her a mom in the first place.

What she's asking for

Goldie Picnic Bag lifestyle

Goldie Picnic Bag

"Our hands are pretty full right now. I just want a beautiful afternoon out with my husband and a bag worth carrying for it."

Lauren Ezzell and family

05 — Best-of-Both-Worlds

Lauren Ezzell

"Something for me. Something for us. A day without distractions."

Lauren's ideal Mother's Day has range. It starts with a workout class (hers, alone, no exceptions), followed by a shower and massage that no one interrupts. Then a leisurely solo breakfast out, coffee, good light, no agenda. And then, because she genuinely loves them: a beach day with her husband and kids. Music playing, everyone actually present, no one half-disappearing into a screen. Flowers, handmade cards, and Lauren wouldn't say no to something sparkly either.

What she's asking for

Mighty Wave Waterproof Music Player lifestyle

Mighty Wave Waterproof Music Player

"I want music at the beach without anyone being on their phone. Spotify playing, kids actually there, everyone actually together."

Holly Conaty and family

06 — The Quiet House Day

Holly Conaty

"A quiet house, a slow morning, and nothing on the list."

Holly's ideal Mother's Day starts with everyone out of the house so she can wake up slowly. No one needing anything, no noise, no rush. She comes downstairs to flowers and a fresh cup of coffee, the house completely to herself. A morning walk with the dogs. Then brunch at her favorite spot with the whole family (zero arguing, she's putting that in writing). And a long, easy afternoon by the pool with her boys.

What she's asking for

TaskRabbit lifestyle

TaskRabbit

"All the things on the home to-do list that never quite get done. I want to walk in Monday morning and they're just… handled."
