Mother’s Day: Part 2
By now, I hope you’ve made a
plan for how you are going to spoil the Mothers in your life this coming
Sunday. If you’re the Mom of
procrastinators and (Heaven forbid) a forgetful household, make a plan to spoil
yourself this 2012 Mother’s Day. Plan a
spa day, a personal day, leave a note and escape. If your kids are thoughtful enough to make
you breakfast in bed but this year you have a particular request, label the
fixins with clear instructions Saturday night.
Following the spa theme, create
a unique shower scrub for Mom using salt or sugar. Many recipes are available online and you can
personalize and decorate the containers.
Create an emergency kit for Mom by filling with her favorite things
(chocolate?), lip stuff, calming candles etc for when mom needs a time
out.
How about embellishing a hat (floppy,
gardening, chic) to create a completely personal and unique gift that Mom will
love? After church, opt for a picnic
lunch put together with Mom in mind.
Insulated bag, back pack, and traditional basket are among some of the
many choices of picnic container. Fill
the basket with plastic wine glasses, a chilled bottle of Rosé or Mom’s
favorite beverage, and her favorite finger foods. Don’t forget something sweet (chocolate),
blanket or chairs, cloth napkins, bottle opener and a special note for
Mom.
Create priceless art with
finger paints and canvas (available at The Health Emporium in Sheridan).
I am going to try to create butterfly art using the kids’ colorfully
painted feet as wings. Bold colors and
hand prints pair beautifully for a modern art installation. Create a scrap book for Mom filled with
pictures, notes, and memories that she will cherish forever.
If your Mom loves to garden,
it is easy to run with that theme.
Create a seed packet bouquet; decorate flower pots then plant herbs or
Mom’s favorite flavors. For my Mom, we
are building a unique “sculpture” for the garden using flower pots and rebar—an
idea I got from Pinterest.com. Spend a
day at Jackson’s Garden in Sheridan.
It is an enchanting, tranquil space that is a wonderful addition to our
community.
Jackson’s Garden, www.jacksonsgarden.org,
is looking for members (growers) and volunteers to help with garden tasks. Highlights for this year include early greens
already harvestable from the new high tunnel (extends garden’s growing season),
a new Kids Club where they tend their own garden plot, participation in the
Sheridan’s Farmer’s Market (Tuesday evenings), and more events using this
beautiful space as a venue. Check
out their awesome website; Jackson’s
Garden is sustainable and Local!
