Mother’s Day and My Mom

Each mom is unique and my mom is no different. She is such a wonderful person. Always the first person to jump in and help someone in need. Always the person to invite you over for a conversation or a meal. I do count myself lucky to have such an extraordinary person in my life and one that I get to call mom.

When it comes to Mother’s Day, my mom usually only wants one thing and that is for us to sing to her. This started when we were kids and she still wants as we are adults although now, the grandkids can usually take the heat off of us kids. What does your mom enjoy on Mother’s Day? Below are 5 ideas if you are unsure what to do.

That Tricky Devil

I’m going to be honest . . .lately I have been craving deviled eggs. But I am also a snob when it comes to deviled eggs and I really don’t like the most basic recipe. I’ll even bypass them if that is how they are being served. But I had a thought last night . . .what if dinner one night was just an array of different eggs with a huge garden salad? My mouth is watering! Haha! So here are 5 recipes that I would like to try.

California Roll Style Deviled Egg
Everything Smoked Salmon Deviled Eggs
Deviled Eggs Carbonara
Cajun Shrimp Deviled Eggs
BLT Deviled Eggs

Let’s Take This Moment to Breathe

Yup . . .I think work is out to kill me. Haha! There is so much going on right now that I am having some trouble trying to quiet my mind and focus on tasks. And we are just talking about me getting through the absolutely necessary things. I know this is a temporary situation but I don’t think that I am going to make it for the next 3 months without a little intervention. So here are 5 listening tracks to help me push through.

Wildflower Hikes

Spring and warmer weather are officially here and I couldn’t be happier. I love seeing all the blooms near my house and it is inspiring me to get outside and start hiking again. Here are 5 hikes nearby that offer the chance to stare at beautiful blooms.
