SHE: Happy Mother's Day

Hey Friends,

Hope your week is going well.  If you are one of our organized friends, you probably have completed your Mother’s Day gift shopping.  For the rest of us here are some last minute ideas to make the Moms in your life feel happy and loved on their special day.

1)      Lunch or dinner surrounded by the ones she loves most is guaranteed to put a smile on her face. Whether you decide to go out or a simply BBQ at home, the food doesn’t matter if the company is good.

2)     Flowers, Publix always has a lovely selection and prices that are lovely too.

3)     Gift certificate to her favorite salon, for a mani-pedi, or a boutique she has been wanted to visit.

4)     A homemade card melts every mom’s heart ~ as long as the giver is under the age of

 25.

Still need a little more inspiration? TJ Maxx and Target are go to stores for me.  I can always find what I am looking for (& a buggy full of things I had no idea I needed J).  If you are looking for cute clothes, home spa items like candles and bubble bath or home décor they will have you covered. And you are sure to make Mom happy with whatever you choose.

Happy Mother’s Day week to all the Mommas, Mommas to Be, Bonus Mommas and all the others who love you and yours like their own.  Celebrate them well and be sure they know how very special they are. We will be loving our 1st time Mommas this week too!

SHE says Happy Cinco de Mayo

Hey Friends,                            

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!   I admit, I thought this was a Mexican holiday similar to our 4th of July ~ celebration of independence.  I was wrong.    According to Wikipedia...

Cinco de Mayo (pronounced [ˈsiŋko ðe ˈmaʝo]; Spanish for "Fifth of May") is an annual celebration held on May 5. The date is observed to commemorate the Mexican Army's difficult victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla, on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza. So there you go~

Although I was wrong about the reason for the celebration, I definitely am happy for any opportunity to celebrate with some yummy Mexican treats.  Do you have any plans to celebrate?  Such cute décor items I saw here would make for a festive party.  Although a little late even for Amazon Prime, I bet you can still find some cute items to set a festive theme ~ think Party City or Dollar Tree (great finds for cute disposable party ware).

This girl (like most I think) loves salsa, nothing too spicy though.  It is versatile you can serve it with chips, tacos or nachos, it’s delicious over rice. Lots of uses. It is my Mexican food of choice.

This is my favorite recipe, it’s very basic but so yummy. And you probably have the ingredients in your pantry. 

There is still time to make up a quick batch, serve it with your favorite tortilla chips and celebrate your Cinco de Mayo.
