A Little Mother's Day History

Image
***UPDATED 4/29/23*** Mother's Day this year is on May 10th. It's always on the second Sunday of the month of May in the U.S. We honor our mothers and those that are like our mothers on this special day but in actuality, we should honor them every day! If it wasn't for her (and of course your father) you wouldn't be here. Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to ancient Greeks and Romans, who would hold festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother's Day is the early Christian festival known as "Mothering Sunday." The American Mother's Day was created by  Anna Jarvis  in 1908 and became an official US holiday in 1914.  Another well-known woman, Julia Ward Howe , who's best known for writing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic", in 1870 wrote the "Mother's Day Proclamation," a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world

Let's Go On A Penny Date

Image
**UPDATED 3/31/23** My husband and I make an effort to go on a date as much as we can. Since the COVID-19 pandemic happened, obviously, we aren’t able to go out to eat or to the movies. So we thought we'd try The Penny Date.  We were thinking about taking picnic food just in case we ended up in nowhere land, but we decided to wing it and whatever would happen we would be fine with it. Me and my man Jay Here's how it works: Get yourself a penny. Make sure you have a GPS handy, just in case you get lost. Choose a number between 10 & 20. At every intersection flip the coin, if it's tails go left, if it's heads go right. You get the idea. When you reach the number of flips, you've reached your date destination. It helps to have a paper and pen to keep up with the number of flips. You can also make it a bit more fun and ask questions of your significant other to learn more about each other. You'd want to answer the questions too. Also, you may w

We are all in the same boat during this pandemic of COVID-19. Here are some things that you can do during your time held up in your home. 1.   Complete a puzzle. It's always satisfying to finish puzzles. 2.   Start a journal. This can be cathartic way of getting through difficult times. 3.   Dust off that old instrument and practice. 4.   Watch all the really long movies you’ve avoided until now.  5.  R ead a classic book. 6.   Treat yourself to a skin care routine you don’t have time for during a normal work week. 7.   Write an actual letter or note and send by snail mail. Who doesn’t like to get cards and notes in the mail? 8.   Learn something new. 9.   Try on all your clothes and determine whether they “spark joy” á la  Marie Kondo . 10.  B ake something. The next blog we will talk about things NOT to so during a pandemic. We would love to know what you are doing to keep busy during this time.
