Mother's Day During Covid

Cathy Zimmer

Mother's Day during Covid looks a little different.  Having to adjust to your loved ones not being together around the table or in a big gathering is not the norm for most.  Depending on circumstances, there are video calls, Face Time and Zoom that allow you to see each other and interact in real time.  Gifts can be sent or dropped off but I look forward to the time when friends and family celebrate together in person.  Nothing replaces a hug and kiss.

It is an easy decision to protect our friends and family members and the community which is our extended family.  I'm so happy the restaurants in our area have allowed indoor dining and an increase of percentage of customers allowed with additional outdoor dining and takeout.  Our gyms and hair salons are open .    We support our local businesses as much as possible especially during these times and truly appreciate those who are essential workers. 

Crisis has a way of making you look at things differently.  Those everyday things we took for granted don't seem like little things anymore.  At some point in the near future (I hope) things will get back to what was normal. Family and friends getting together, Grand Parents and Great Grand Parents can go back to holding babies and pinching cheeks!  

We wish you a happy, healthy Mother's Day!!

Searching for the right gift

Cathy Zimmer

It can seem overwhelming to purchase holiday gifts for family, friends or co-workers. This should really be a fun time.  After setting your budget, think about each person one at a time.  Maybe you have someone on your list that likes the beach.  A unique candle holder of a shell may be all you need.  For the health conscious, flip cap or pour cap are sure to be appreciated.  Then there's home decor or jewelry items for any budget. Kitchen gifts of dishtowels or hand crafted wooden spoons or soft cheese boards are an easy choice for the person that likes to entertain. Handmade soap makes a wonderful gift. Gift baskets are also another option.

When it comes right down to it, the gift doesn't have to be expensive or extravagant. When the gift is unique and has more of a connection to the recipient, it's the thought you put into it as a gift just for them that makes them feel special.  Christmas is only a couple weeks away, congrats to you if your done and wrapped.  If your not done yet, I hope you enjoy the search. We are honored that you chose us to help with your list.

We hope your Christmas is filled with love and that you and yours have a happy & healthy New Year.

What is Wabi-Sabi

Cathy Zimmer
What is wabi-sabi?  No, it’s not the little green lump that comes with your Califorina Roll. Julie Pointer Adams, author of Wabi-Sabi Welcome, defines wabi-sabi as the Japanese art of celebrating the perfectly imperfect. When broken apart, wabi means simplicity, modesty, and being content with less, while sabi is effect of time passing and the progression of beauty that comes with age. Together, they are believed to create a sense of harmony and peace of mind in the home.
