These hats are great from the beach to the bistro, and they are less than $20. There's a quote for every type of mom. 

The Hours Women's Off the Shoulder Top

The good news is that women's shoulders don't age or gain weight. The better news is that this top has long sleeves and a longer length, to cover all that mom wants covered.

Kate Spade New York Market Tote

Mom gets around - from the market, to the soccer field, then to the doctors office and well...anywhere you need her to be. Her trips out and about will be more fun with this terrific tassel tote.

Alexis Bittar Studded Hinge Bangle 

Black and white is always right. Any fashion Mom knows this designer name. The fact that it is on sale will please Mom even more.

Richmond & Finch iPhone Cases

If Mom is a luxe lady, she will love the look of marble encasing her pretty phone!

Swell Metallic Water Bottle

I need one of these. This bottle is non toxic, and BPA free. We all should stop drinking out of plastic bottles. It's a glam gift that is healthy, too. Perfect for her desk or bedside table.

Irresistibly soft and feels so good under foot. Mom will love the touch of glam that this chic carpet adds to her space.

Annieglass Martini Tray

Handcrafted sculptural glass serves up a chic cocktail, stylish sushi and more. I have a few pieces. Elegant yet still modern

Kate Spade New York Portable Wireless Bluetooth Speaker

One of the best gifts I have ever received! Give Mom the sound of her own music (God knows she had to listen to yours) wherever she goes. Fabulous sound, and looks like a clutch when encased. Mom's who rock a playlist, will love it.

Bodum Chambord Coffee Maker

Perfect for serving Mom breakfast in bed!

Iluminage Skin Rejuvenating Case

Chances are, you have given Mom a few sleepless nights. This will make up for it. The gift of beauty sleep. As seen in The Zoe Report, this pillowcase fights wrinkles while she sleeps. It's all about the copper technology!

Like a baby blanket for adults. Trust me. I know as I have had one for many years. Pick her favorite color and you have a sure thing!

Sensor Mirror Pro Rose Gold Finish

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, who is the fairest Mother of them all? Yours! And most of us have a little trouble seeing makeup mistakes, unwanted hair and more. This is the mirror she wants. It lights up, and is wi-fi enabled! 

Clarisonic Mia2 Sonic Facial Cleansing Brush System

The gift of glowing skin. Another of my very favorite gifts (Thank you, Mollie!) This is the #1 system out there. I think that your Mom deserves the best. Don't you?

Oh TGIF! I hope that your week was well spent. I had five fabulous days in New York. It is always good to be home, but this week was really exciting with the Met Ball and all. Sadly, I forgot my dress at home, (wink wink) so no personal pics. :) It is said to be fashion's biggest party of the year. The tickets are $30,000 each and this year's theme was Avant-Garde. Scroll down for more Met info and other fun links.

Foodie Friday: Derby Day Drinks & Perfect Party Provisions

Grab your wide brimmed hats and don your seersucker suit. Saturday is Derby Day, the most exciting 100+ seconds in sports of the season. Having once owned race horses, I still get nervous, and feel the rush of excitement of the owners and trainers. The winners circle is a very exciting place to be. If you are planning a Derby Day dinner or party, these recipes put you on the fast track to success.

HERE: 20 Recipes To Bet On! 

Pony Drink Stirrers

If there is any day where "horsing around" is approved, it's Derby Day. These golden ponies make for a good show at any party!

Nonnie’s Kentucky Derby Pie.

Is there anything better than chocolate pecan pie? Yes, there is, a pie that is topped with bourbon whipped cream!  This is one winning and tasty recipe.

Half Baked Harvest

Frozen Peach and Vanilla Mint Juleps

Even if you aren't a bourbon drinker, you have to admit that these sound good and even look better. I mean, they are made with frozen peaches. A must try.

How Sweet Eats

Pimento Cheese with Salt-and-Pepper Butter Crackers

With two parents that were born in Kentucky, I have spent a good deal of time there myself. And we were raised on Southern food like Pimento Cheese. It's a great snack with a cocktail.

Food and Wine

Kentucky Hot Brown Sandwiches on Jalapeño Cornbread Biscuits with Honey Bourbon Bacon

Honey bourbon bacon pretty much says it all about this recipe. But it is the biscuits that really make this sandwich, and all of those gorgeous toppings, of course.

Half Baked Harvest

Mint Julep Popsicle

There's nothing better than a portable dessert at a party. These could not be easier or more clever for and Derby Day event.

Honestly Yum 

Herbed Shrimp on Grits Cakes

An elevated take on a classic Southern staple.

Tea Time Magazine

Kentucky Bourbon Cake

This quote says it best, “This buttermilk Bundt cake, drenched in a boozy bourbon glaze, is a great vehicle for whipped cream and strawberries. Kentucky Bourbon Cake was the prize-winning entry by Nell Lewis at the 1963 Pillsbury Bake-Off Contest in Platte City, Missouri.”  Once a winner, and still a winner. Get the pan at Amazon and the recipe at

Tastespotting 

Matcha Mint Juleps

These minty bourbon cocktails spiked with powdered green tea, are refreshing on a warm Spring day.

The Bojon Gourmet

Smoked Ham With Bourbon, Sugar and Cola

No one made a better ham than my Aunt Rose. I bet she still does. Of course it helps, when you raise and smoke the hog yourself. I just know that Rose used bourbon in her recipe. Doesn't this sound divine?

The Daily Meal  

Champagne Mint Julep

Now this is just my style.  Research tells me that Cavicchioli 1928 is a Prosecco. This bottle is fabulous. If you can't find it, I am sure that any good Italian bottle will do.

The Kitchn 

5 Ingredient Strawberry Rose Tart

Go for the roses. This dessert will get you to the winners circle.

How Sweet Eats 

Bourbon Mint Iced Tea

The ultimate Southern daily drink goes to another level with bourbon!

My Mother made these. They are addictive. Even though they may look fancy, this is an easy recipe. Try it.

Rhubarb Mint Julep 

This chic and not too sweet cocktail has the classic flavors of a mint julep with the tangy brightness of rhubarb. Cheers to mixing things up a bit!

Fashionable Hostess

Ambrosia Parfait

Raise your hand if you grew up on Ambrosia salad. I certainly did, but it didn't quite look like this. Sorry, Mom, this recipe looks better. It has been enlightened a bit with  a mix of unsweetened coconut, shredded sweetened coconut and yogurt. The cherries are "Maraschino." They are the real thing and the author says that they taste like heaven.  Find them at Amazon and the recipe at 

How Sweet Eats

Tea Sandwiches

These just seem to go head to hand with those fabulous derby hats. Aren't they beautiful?

Cravings Happen

Earl Grey Bourbon Punch

If you are feeding a crowd, add a little southern sweet tea to their cocktail glass. A decorative ice ring adds a kick to the punch.

Bonappetit 

Chilled Sweet Pea Soup with Mint and Cream

A perfect way to add a pop of Spring green to your Derby Day Buffet. It's easy and the most popular soup recipe ever at Southern Living.
