Mistakes Party Guests Make
Now that the weather is better suited, it is time to venture outdoors and take a good look at your home
After so much time celebrating events electronically, live events are back on calendars. It is possible that we all have become somewhat lax about actions that considerate guests will take. In other words, our etiquette has slipped a bit. Here are some things to be aware of so that your host/hostess will welcome you with open arms.
May Birthstone - Emerald
Emerald, that intense green gemstone usually cut into a rectangle, is the birthstone for May. The word comes from the Greek smaragdos or the Roman esmeralda, each of which translates as “green gem”. Pretty simple. It is composed from beryl, a mineral, the same substance as an aquamarine. Read more.
Kids Prepared Mother's Day Menu
Burnt toast and runny eggs are often what happens when kids prepare a Mother’s Day breakfast. However, with a little adult supervision and assistance, she can have something more edible. Read More.
