Celebrating Mother's Day All Year Long

We all love our mothers, they are the ones who love us dearly and nurtured us with much loving care from the time we were born up to when we were big enough to care for ourselves. But that didn’t stop their caring for us as most of them extended their caring to our children which are their grandchildren. Actually our mother usually pampers our children spoiling them with their attention. Oh what would we do without our dear mothers, they are God’s gift to us. Every second week of May we celebrate mother’s day in appreciation of their sacrifices and love given to us without expecting anything in return.

To celebrate the occasion we plan ahead of time what would be the perfect activities. It is when we choose the flowers; we buy the card and cooked a special meal for her. She always cooks for us so it’s time that she sits and waits for our special cooked dinner for her, isn’t it exciting? It’s better to have a mother’s day checklist for us not to forget anything especially if we want to celebrate it outside our homes like a trip to some place or a dinner to a cozy restaurant or some memorable place that she want to go, anything that would her happy. After all it’s her very special day.

I came upon Mother’s Day Central where mothers are the focus of the site celebrating mothers all year long and they provide tips and guidelines on how to make the day special for your mother, they even have history of the occasion. There’s one link in their site that I really like reading and that’s the motherisms where they speaks about the common phrases of our moms when they were scolding us, praising us or when lecturing us, It put a smile on my face recognizing those words, well not all of them as mothers are different. They usually have quotable lines to let us know what they think. When I looked back at my teenager days I usually laugh and wonder why I’m saying some of those favorite motherisms to my own kids. So it’s right that when you reach motherhood you’ll be like your mom also. Funny but true! Whoever and whatever your mom is love her not only on mother’s day but all year long.

Cholesterol Count

As I'm taking a low-carb diet these days I've been reading about cholesterol content of foods that we usually eat because it's also important to take note of the most common causes of health problems - the cholesterol. Diet is not only for making yourself slimmer but the most important aim is to keep yourself healthy and strong, fit for everyday living free from sickness. For working moms like me the most common problem why we tend to be fat is the lack of time planning and preparing separate food for us, separate because what we should eat should be less in everything - in carbo, fat,sugar and meat. In short, not very delicious food :-) but healthy. Of course our family should not suffer from this so the best is to prepare different kind of food for ourselves. Hard part is it will take part of your precious time but it will be worth it. Anyway here's the table for you readers and friends, it might be of help to you, just a thought hmm!
