MOTHER’S DAY

Thanks to Anna Jarvis, Mother’s Day became an official holiday in 1915. Read the history of Mother’s Day and find celebration ideas as well as unique gift ideas for the mothers in your life by visiting www.ShowYourPizzazz.com 

We all love to tell our moms how much we love and appreciate them on Mother’s Day but it is also the perfect time to recognize other special moms. Think about these women in your life and let them know how much you care.

• Wife
• Aunts
• Teachers
• PTA Members
• Neighbors
• Co-Workers

What could be a better gift than improving a woman’s relationship with her husband (or future husband)? A fabulous preacher in North Carolina, M. David Chambers, has written a book that can do just that. The title is “The Best is Yet to Come” and it is getting rave reviews!

Finally, a marriage enrichment book with the guarantee of real results!
- Lydia Humphries, Seminar Attendee

Perfect balance of wit and grit on the subject matter!
- Pastor Mike Whitt, High View

“The Holy Spirit greatly used this material in a seminar given by Pastor Chambers, to reunite spouses in our church! I wholeheartedly recommend this for married couples, marriage counselors, pastors, etc!"
- Pastor Jason Holt, Crossroads

CINCO DE MAYO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Many people believe that Cinco de Mayo is the Mexican Independence Day but that is not the case. Some people get so caught up in the fiestas that they don’t remember what the celebration is for. On the 5th day of May, in 1862, the Mexicans defeated the French army at the Battle of Puebla. The smaller Mexican army was victorious over the more modern and much larger French army. Commemorate this special occasion with your own Cinco de Mayo celebration.

Read more about Cinco de Mayo here http://www.teachersfirst.com/cinco.htm 

Now it is time to have your own Cinco de Mayo party! Start with traditional piñatas http://www.showyourpizzazz.com/Pinatas/pinatasindex.html  for the young and young at heart. Don’t forget colorful table clothes, plates, napkins and more to make your table exciting. www.ShowYourPizzazz.com 

Teach your guests the Mexican Hat Dance and have a contest for the best dancer. Visit http://www.janbrett.com/piggybacks/hatdance.htm  for directions.

MMM We love Mexican food and this is the day to offer a variety of flavors from our neighbors to the South. Keep it simple so you have plenty of time to party yourself. Here are a few suggestions:
 

- Make cheese quesadillas and use chili pepper cookie cutters to turn them into festive shapes.
- Chili Con Queso is one of my favorites although I have never seen it offered in Mexico it is still a party favorite. Try the Velveeta recipe on the back of the box.
- Flan is a favorite among kids. I can’t get around the texture but there are so many varieties to making this Mexican dessert, I am sure you will find one that you love.
- Margaritas! A Mexican celebration is not a celebration without margaritas. Try strawberry margaritas and don’t forget to make some alcohol free margaritas for any younger guests.

CHILDREN’S THOUGHT OF THE MONTH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Dear God,
In school we read that Thomas Edison made light, but in Sunday School they said you did it first. Did he steal your idea?

Great news! We finally got our taxes done - way to wait to the last minute . But now we can get back to focusing on the website and providing you with great party themes and ideas. We have a lot of wonderful things planned for the months to come so visit often.
May 25th is American Grump Out Day! Visit www.smilemania.com  for more information. We think this is a great idea, especially for some of our grumpy teens.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THE WORLD? Is Cookie Monster going on a diet? Why is Oscar the Grouch taking a bath? Have we gone too far? Read all the dirt or at least what is left at http://www.cnn.com/2005/SHOWBIZ/TV/04/07/tv.cookie.lessmonster.ap/  and then let Sesame Street know that we love the way they teach our children the letters, numbers, and even foreign languages but we LOVE Cookie Monster the way he is. Maybe there is an alternative?


We want to hear from you! What do you like about the site and newsletter? What do you want to hear more about? What could you do without? Have a favorite recipe you would like to share? Or how about a unique party idea or party picture?
