My mom is my number one running cheerleader. She keeps up to date on every little detail of my training, she stresses out more than I do when something is hurting and she watches Brooke for me so that I can get outside and train. She is at as many of my races as possible and she is always there at the finish line waiting for me I really don’t know how I would marathon train (or do anything really:) without all of her help. Her whole life is dedicated to serving everyone around her and she brightens everyone’s day that she comes in contact with.
It’s not possible to thank her enough for all that she does but I do know that fresh and beautiful flowers are one of the best ways to start—> enter in The Bouqs!!!
The Bouqs is a new flower delivery service that is easy, fresh and beautiful. When you order your flowers they are cut THE DAY that you order them and then shipped the very next day. You receive them sooner= they’ll last longer.
Brooke helped me pick out the ones that we thought my mom would love the most. I was so beyond pleased to see how beautiful the flowers were when they arrived at her doorstep.
You can include a little note with your flowers too:)
The Bouqs uses flowers that are grown on the side of an active volcano in Ecuador which means that there is more sunshine and more mineral rich soil which produces better flowers. The flowers are grown at sustainable and eco-friendly farms that follow strict responsible farming practices. You can rest assured knowing that flowers that you order from The Bouqs are the best of the best.
My mom and the flowers are beauties.
Red is Brooke’s favorite color so my mom gave Brooke one of the beautiful red roses.
They smell pretty bomb too!
I love that what you see is what you get! All of the beautiful pictures of the Bouqs online are exactly what show up at your door. Shipping is always free and they come straight from the farm, they aren’t waiting in a warehouse until they are delivered.
The Bouqs has flat, affordable pricing… there are no upsells or hidden costs.
I picked out these beauties for my apartment. Fresh flowers just make me extremely happy.
I am still amazed at how easy the ordering process was and how beautiful they were when they were delivered. The Bouqs will be my go-to for flower gift deliveries and for having fresh flowers at home.

I don’t get any images either, but I love the idea! I try to get my mom flowers sent to work a couple times a year just so she has something beautiful to look at, I will have to keep this in mind!

I do like fresh flowers a lot. I’ve never heard of them but it seems like a great brand. The flowers are super pretty so I suppose that’s all that really matters.
Rachel Runs Music City
Hey! I’ve been to that volcano in Ecuador where they are grown! I have to say, it is beautiful. We were there for a missions trip and we drove by just to see all the flowers. What great gift idea!
Losing Lindy
I <3 your mom. I love this idea.

Victoria
Did you pay for your Mom’s gift? Or did you actually get if for free.
Denise G.
It clearly states it’s a sponsored post.
Denise G.
Oh I think they were on Shark Tank right? I remember the whole being grown on the side of an Ecuador volcano thing.
It’s nice to do those little things to show someone how appreciated they are.
Ashley @ A Lady Goes West
Flowers are such a nice surprise, and they sure do brighten a room! Yay for having a wonderful Mother and support system! :)

chelsea @ the new wifestyle
grown inside an active volcano?! that’s nuts…and i’m thankful not to be the one picking them :)
my husband and i just decided how important it is for the feel of our apartment to have fresh flowers. it makes us feel like we are in abundance and happier!
Sam @ Grapefruit & Granola
That’s sweet that you sent your mom flowers :) love the white and purple arrangement you picked out for yourself.
Ashley @ Saving Money in your Twenties
I love this!! Moms deserve a bouquet of flowers every day :)
Rachel @ Simply Rachel Nicole
That’s so sweet! Your mom sounds like one amazing lady!!! :)
Tiana Rehe
At first I thought you actually got your mom flowers, and then I realized it’s just another sponsored post. I’m sure she lived them just the same, she seems like a gem. The sponsored posts every week, that relates to a very small margin of people, is disappointing though.
Tiana Rehe
*loved. Hard to proof read from a phone.
Emily
Ok, wow, those flowers are amazingly beautiful. I really love roses, and these are just perfectly arranged. And your mom sounds like my mom. Moms are the best!
Natalie
I love this!! You Mom sounds like such a gem! So sweet of you to send her flowers.
They are beautiful and I will def have to check out this company.
I feel the same way about my Mom. I really couldn’t train without her. She gives me so much support.
Thanks for sharing!
Amanda B @ Cupcakes & Miles
Oh wow! I order lots of flower arrangements, so I will definitely have to give The Bouqs a try.
Jenn@Mark My Miles!
How sweet! I have some flowers to send next month to my mom and will be using this service. Sounds great! Thank you!
Jill
Thank you for sharing this post! I was thinking about sending a friend of mine something to cheer her up, she’s been having some health issues–this post was perfect timing! I sent the “Farmer’s Market” bouquet.
Question: I started training for my first half-marathon recently. You might have posted about this in the past and I missed it but I’d love to hear about how you tackle the mental side of running. Any tips on quieting the negative “I’d like to walk now” type of thoughts?
The Hungry Runner Girl
Great question!! I will write a post about this asap! Thanks so much Jill!!!
Melanie
Thanks for this post Janae! My mom just broke her ankle :( I wanted to do something nice for her and this was perfect!
Kay
The flowers look great! Thanks for introducing me to this company.
