Get Your Mate a Date, With You!

Date Night Dogs
 
May is National Date Your Mate Month and it is also our anniversary! My husband and I have started a new tradition: Date Night.  This is a regular weekly event, scheduled in your calendar, and is subject to change only in a dire emergency. It’s dinner or an afternoon picnic, a simple lunch or a long walk with an ice cream cone reward at the end.  It’s the time to turn off the cell phone and computer and television, and devote yourself to quality time with someone important to you.

Group Hug
I love hugs!! Every day is a great day to hug a friend but did you know that Hug a Friend Day is April 26th? There are so many ways to hug a friend. You can physically give them a big bear hug, call them up with a phone hug if they don’t live by you, gather everyone together for a group hug or give them the gift of hugs every day to remind them how much they are loved. A hug box is just the thing to hold all the hugs you could possibly give them when you aren’t in hugging distance. This is a great Mother’s Day gift idea too!

Artichokes – The Rose Beneath the Thorns

This week I must have a thing for the odd looking vegetables because the artichoke is another one that is a strange one for many people. If you know how to make it, you will be converted to an artichoke lover for life! Once you remove the thorns and trim the leaves, it looks like a rose bud! Eating an artichoke is a bit of ritual and a healthy treat combined. You run your lower teeth over the leaves of the artichoke to capture the sweet, meaty flesh at the base that is so full of Iron and wonderful flavor. It’s an odd experience at first but sometimes the least expected things bring the most pleasure! Continue reading
