Happy Mother’s Day tomorrow, to all those who have mothered someone. Today I’m taking time to reflect on all the wonderful women (and even men) who were mothers for me during my life. They are many. By the same token, hopefully I too, served as a mother for others when they needed it.
If you would like a fun, easy, healthy and green gift to take to someone special in your life consider these two fun ideas I found in an old copy of FreshHome magazine (Summer 2010).
Idea #1
In a low, but clear wide-mouth jar (small mason jar) place cherry tomatoes. Use them as “marbles” to stabilize a handful of stemmed basil leaves. Now you have a floral arrangement that looks beautiful, smells great and tastes wonderful. Tie with a ribbon and off you go!
Idea #2
Take a mug or cup and saucer purchased at a garage sale or Good Will. Place potting soil with a small herb plant inside. It could be mint, lavender, chamomile, thyme, oregano. Herbs that can be used for tea are a natural choice. Insert a toothpick with an identifying label attached. Serve it up!
Happy Mother’s Day!
