We have a lot happening this weekend. Tomorrow we’re headed to CT for an early Mother’s Day outing with my mother-in-law. On Sunday we are heading to the Arnold Arboretum for Lilac Sunday.
Have a lovely Mother’s Day weekend!
- Here’s information about Lilac Sunday, in case you need a dose of intoxicating lilac fragrance.
- The Farmer’s Almanac suggests ways to celebrate Mother’s Day and staff members share memories of their Moms.
- Sarah Zorn just became the Citadel’s first female regiment commander! What commitment and hard work! (BTW, Sarah can do over 70 push-ups in two minutes.)
- The Radical Act of Embracing Your Own Mediocrity — Here’s some liberating news. We don’t have to be wildly successful at everything we do. We can simply enjoy doing it.
- In Praise of Mediocrity — I’m sensing a theme.
- On Feeling Crushed By Student Debt — We must find a way to make education easier for our children.
- A Wedding On Top of the Empire State Building — I like this wedding story, with lots of details about what the brides wore. But, where are the photos of the tigers? Tigers on the cake. Tigers on one bride’s suit. I want to see them!
- If you are planning your outdoor plantings, check out these blue and white planters.
- Goodness: The Mom Forum on Goodness Yields Goodness In Your Children.
About the photo: Rows in the baby blanket I knitted for our new great-niece, Samantha. We’ve been celebrating her arrival. Here are a couple more shots of the blanket.
