Mother's Day

So, Mother's Day is right around the corner. Here, in southern Louisiana, every occasion can be a reason to get together with the family for a big feast. Let's make a change! For those that know me well, you know I often encourage enjoying and having fun with people without having the focus on food. While I know food is always around, let's find something else besides food to be the center of attraction for the day. Here are a few things you can do instead of sitting around the kitchen grazing the day away.

• Go bowling~take the whole family! It can be girls against boys, just like it used to be.
• Have a hula hoop contest. If you decide to do this, please video tape it and post it on the blog! :)
• Take your mother to have a psychic reading-whether you believe in psychic abilities or not, this would be so fun!
• Spend the day with her, doing whatever she wants.
• Give her your service as her Mother's Day gift. She may like for you to clean her car, help weed the garden, or just sit and listen to her.

Whatever you choose to do, remember that your mother is the reason you are here. Celebrate the day in a way that will give her long lasting memories and don't forget to give her thanks for making you who you are today!

Thank you my best friend, mom! XOXO
