It's true: there is a lot of buzz surrounding the McConaughey household —as actor Matthew McConaughey may (or may not) be running for Texas governor —but the reason Real Homes is paying attention?

Matthew's other half, Camila Alves McConaughey, is front-and-center — alongside her mother-in-law Kay McConaughey, and the two teamed up with Amazon Live just in time to save all of us last-minute shoppers. 

This dream team not only curated all of their top items they'd love to receive this Mother's Day, but they even walked us through one of their signature dishes — preparing Honey Garlic Chicken Thighs, and used a handful of the items they've mentioned. Talk about the ultimate win-win! 

Now, in the event, you happened to miss this game-changing Amazon Live? You're in luck. Here are the Kay and Camila Alves McConaughey (opens in new tab)-approved Mother's Day must-haves!
