Being a mom is hard work. At Sencillo Cabinets, we are well versed in the balance of being a successful mom to a flourishing business, and also taking off the entrepreneur cap and being a supportive role model and mentor to our kids at home.
When you’re in the thick of things, it’s important to step back and embrace a moment of self-care – actually, it’s a must. Mother’s Day is your day, and it’s perfectly ok to want to give yourself a little celebration, take a break, and allow yourself to be inspired. While “I Love You Mom” mugs and “You’re The Best” bookmarks are great, this Mother’s Day we encourage you to treat yourself and make that purchase that keeps migrating down the priority list – you certainly deserve it!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Get inspired with a new book!
There is no better feeling than opening up a new book and skimming through the pages. Here are a few recommendations from our bookshelf:
In A Simplified Life: Tactical Tools for Intentional Living, Emily Ley presents tactical tools and strategies presents on how to work towards your goals as you simplify your space and embrace a minimalistic lifestyle.
In Present Over Perfect: Leaving Behind Frantic for a Simpler, More Soulful Way of Living, Shauna Niequist and Brene Brown write about the many hats that women wear and explore the concept of Present Over Perfect as you move towards being true to yourself and simply being present in the midst of the chaos of life.
In The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing, Marie Kondo explores her award-winning method behind the joy of tidying up and embracing a clutter-free life.
Finding a new book is always exciting, but finding the time to sit down and complete it from cover to cover can be a challenge. Find a way to steal an hour in the morning or in the evening, when your home is quiet. This is the time you deserve to reflect on your day, recharge, and become immersed in one of these inspiring reads.
Need a place to put your growing book collection? Our team at Sencillo Cabinets can certainly help with that!

A clean home (not cleaned by you!)
Coming home to a dustless, organized, and crumb-free house is something that merely exists in every mother’s dreams. Luckily for you, Clean Club Calgary exists so that you can spend less time laboriously cleaning and more time actually enjoying your space with your family. Treat yourself and make that dream become a reality once-and-for-all!
Organize your entryway
This is the first thing people see when they walk into your home, and yet it’s always the most chaotic first impression. Gift yourself a set of custom cabinets or shelving to give your mudroom a much-needed face-lift. Organizing this area of your home will tick that lingering to-do off your list and will bring you a calm peace-of-mind every time you get home.
Upgrade your kitchen
Bring the joy back into your kitchen by introducing a mobile island, coffee bar, brand-new lower cabinets, or custom cabinet organizers. Finding a way to better utilize the space in your kitchen will allow you to minimize the clutter and enjoy the art of cooking with the whole family.
Create a space just for you
You know that spare bedroom that really never gets used? We encourage you to convert it into a space that you can utilize, enjoy, and retreat to, that isn’t cluttered with toys or excess storage. Create it into a home office if you’re a mom-prenuer in need of an at-home workspace, or a craft room that can house your favourite projects and supplies when you’re in need of some creative time.
Make your dream closet come true
The struggle is truly real when you’re sharing your closet space and things are cramped and not well lit. That’s how you lose your favourite pair of pants, good-luck sweater, or broken-in heels. Enjoy a Carrie Bradshaw moment as you place your first set of stilettos in your brand-new walk-in closet. It’s a moment every woman needs and deserves!
