With Mother’s Day around the corner, Jessie James Decker has been reflecting on parenthood. “The best thing is waking up to my kids’ beautiful faces every day and tucking them into bed every night,” says Decker, mom to Vivianne, 12, Eric Jr., 10, Forrest, 8, and Denver, 2, with former NFL wide receiver Eric Decker. “I’ve never loved anything, or anyone, so hard in my life.”
The “Should Have Known Better” singer’s brood typically wakes her up on Mother’s Day with flowers and handmade gifts, just as she prefers. After morning Mass in Nashville, Tenn., the Deckers head to brunch. Family and food are a big part of the country artist’s brand: The New York Times best-selling author has penned a lifestyle book and two cookbooks, with a third, “The Secret Sauce: A Family Cookbook Seasoned With Love,” out in October. Her Just Feed Me home collection is thriving, and her fun-and-affordable fashion brand, Kittenish, is festival-season bliss. But music is what first made Decker, 38, famous (she now boasts 4.3 million followers on Instagram), and she’s happy to reveal she has new songs in the works.
Until they drop, here are some of the star’s staples — and the perfect pampering presents for moms.
“The perfect mix of soft and bold! The lace is really romantic, but then you’ve got that hit of red that makes it feel confident and a little daring.”
“Wearing something that represents who you are makes it feel more meaningful than just an accessory. This is a little bit dainty, but still makes a statement. I like layering it with my other gold pieces.”
“These instantly elevate even the simplest outfit and give that effortless, put-together feel I love — especially on busy days when I’m running around. The shape is super flattering and the color has that little pop.”
“I’m a ‘big purse’ girl. I like to keep a lot of stuff with me just in case, so I’ve been eyeing this bag for vacation to carry all of my products and my kids’ stuff.”
“It’s one of those pieces I wear all the time. It just pulls everything together and makes me feel a little more polished.”
“I have a collab with Cupshe, and this year we dropped a red bikini that is perfect! There is a matching suit for your man, too.”
“This [orange-jasmine-rose-patchouli-vetiver scent] is my signature fragrance — for 15 years and counting. My kids tell me it’s the ‘Mommy smell.’ I hope one day even my [future] grandchildren will smell it and think of me.”
“My coupe glasses? I’m obsessed. They just look so pretty and make any drink feel a little more elevated and fancy, which y’all know I love.”
“I’ve got really wide feet, especially since I’ve had kids, so I need a wide, supportive, bouncy-fit workout sneaker. These are my regulars right now.”
“This is from my festival collection. I’m obsessed!”
“This is my go-to for glowy, dewy skin.”
“I can throw on this album no matter my mood. The lyrics are so honest, and the sound feels fresh but still rooted in that country soul I love.”
“My kids and I love playing BS. We take a deck of cards with us everywhere we go on vacation and play at the dinner table. It’s so much fun!”
“Nellamoon is a Nashville staple! This scent is my absolute favorite lately … it’s warm, a little earthy and has that cozy vibe that fills the whole house in the best way. I’ll light it at the end of the day and instantly feel more relaxed.”
“After a long day, my favorite thing to do is run a hot bath and just unwind for a minute. I’ve gotta have my bath salts from Saint Jane — they make it feel like a full-on spa moment — and a glass of red wine in hand. It’s my little reset at the end of the day, and honestly something I look forward to.”
“I use my Dyson roller hair dryer every single day and I can’t live without it. It makes getting ready so quick and easy, and it gives me that smooth, bouncy blowout without a ton of effort.”
