Mistakes We Make While Wearing Face Masks

Image
Quilted Mask made by KellyJo Designs I don't know about you, but when I'm out an about where there are people close, I wear a mask. I believe this is going to be the way of life for some time to come. I also believe that staying healthy is a priority in my life and I would want to know how to handle wearing a mask the proper way when out in public. Here are a few mistakes made while wearing a mask and how to prevent them: Putting it on and taking it off incorrectly is a biggie . Remember to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer before handling your mask after being in a public place. It's all about hygiene folks. Better safe than sorry. When taking your mask off, make sure you handle the mask by the ear loops or ties. Wearing it the wrong way.  If your mask has pleats, they go on the outside, and the folded edge should be on the bottom. The mask should fit snugly, covering your nose and mouth completely without gaps but still allowing you to breathe natural...

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...
