Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is not only a day off of work or school for you but it is also the day we remember those who have served and sacrificed for our country.  Please take a moment and remember not only our military who have died  protecting our country but also the families they left behind.

If you are near military cemetery you can plan and go and visit.  Visit the ones who don’t have anyone to remember them.  

Here is information on Arlington Cemetery.

Here is information on what else you can do to support the troops and their families.

Mother's Day Breakfast or Brunch

Mother's Day Breakfast or Brunch

Sunday is Mother’s Day.  For those of you who are Mothers, then we want to wish you a very happy day. Being a Mother is one of the hardest job in the world and your children should know that.  We hope that you get to spend the day relaxing and being waited on hand and foot.  Show your children this blog we will teach them how to make your day special.

A Mother should start this day with breakfast in bed.  If you don’t want to eat in the bed, that is okay, but someone in your life should make you breakfast. If you don’t want them cooking in your kitchen, then they can always take you out to brunch. 

We think the best place for brunch is The Cheesecake Factory. They have a very extensive menu that everyone can find something for everyone to eat.

The next best place to go is Marie Callendar’s

If you want to attempt to make breakfast at home, but can’t cook, you may want to order take-out from a  restaurant.

You can try to cook the breakfast yourself for your mother.  Make it simple, scrambled eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast.    If your mom is a vegetarian or is allergic to eggs, pork or potatoes, then find out what she normally has for breakfast and serve that.  You can serve her oatmeal with soy or almond milk and some fruit.  Even easier a fruit bowl.  You can stop by Whole Foods and pick something up.

Here are the recipes:

Whatever you do, make sure that your Mom has a relaxing day.  If you are cooking at home, then clean up after so she doesn't have to.  Remember your Mom is one of the reasons you are here.  We need to celebrate her.  If you were raised by someone other than your Mother, this is the day you should remember them too.  Don’t forget your Grandmothers because if it wasn't for her your own Mother wouldn't be here.  If you do not live near that Mother figure in your life then pick up the phone and call them.

Once again to all the Mothers out there have an amazing day.  We hope you get to spend it the way you want to.  Then tell the Fathers out there his day will in June and he will be honored on that day.  This day is just for Mom.
