Cook for Your Mom and More!

Some Moms have it all, so they're not easy to buy gifts for. If you have a Mom like this, you may want to try cooking for her instead! I stumbled upon Cook for the Cure®, another brilliant Susan G Komen endeavor to raise money to cure breast cancer. Please note that Cook for the Cure is not your average family dinner. Instead, it's a dinner party where the dinner party attendees bring donations for the foundation. It's pretty brilliant, really. Why not donate money for Mother's Day instead of buying gifts?!? You could host a Mother/Daughter Cook for the Cure dinner if you'd like. Of course it could be a Mother/Son or Mother/Child dinner, whatever strikes your fancy! Heck, you could host a table for everyone's dogs too if you want to get them in on the fun. Isn't half of America hosting dog birthday parties these days anyways. Gone are the "kids tables" of yesteryear...make way for the "dog tables!" Okay, I'm being silly, but I wouldn't be surprised if somebody did host a "dog table" at a formal dinner gathering. And you know what, I say, more power to them! As a side note, I did attend a horse's 2nd birthday party last summer. It was a Barbie theme because we all refer to this prissy little horse as "Barbie." She's a Palamino with long blonde hair and she's not a fan of getting dirty. How else would you describe a horse like that?

Sorry, I've digressed. If you perform any searches on thefind.com, then you know that we've been raising money for Susan G Komen for the Cure by donating $1 for each pink search performed everyday (one per person, per day). TheFind is a very community-centric company and we're really vested in doing good things and raising money for great causes. As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I stumbled upon this dinner party idea and thought it would be fun for Mother's Day. I was thrilled to find out that this also benefits the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation!

The Cook for the Cure site is great! They give you all the tools you need to plan and organize your party: invitations, recipes, menus, coordinating donations and more. I'm thinking about planning a dinner party for both Mothers and Fathers along with their children to celebrate a Mother's Day and Father's Day   together. What do you think?

Get into the spirit with some pink and white decorations. There are quite a few pink ribbon decorations that you can use the set the tone for the party.

A Little Mother's Day Humor

How many times have you blamed your screw ups on your parents? I think most of us have at one point or another, right? Don't worry, whether your parents admit it or not...they blame themselves for your screw ups too. ;o)

Enter Bald Guy Greetings...these cards have just the right amount of humor -- lightly dark (I know, that's an oxy moron) with a touch of sarcasm. They have cards for all the holidays and a host of situations and they're really cute! Check out this Mother's Day card:

Okay, okay so some Moms won't appreciate a card like this, I know. But, you got to admit that it's pretty funny! There's nothing wrong with bringing a little humor into Mom's life, right? Just make sure you give her a mushy, loving card as well and all should be good in the world of Mom. (Be sure to work in a gift too and you're golden!)

Dazzle Your Mom with Amazing Chocolate Truffles

If you can't find the perfect gift for your Mom, then give her the perfect chocolates. At the risk of grossly generalizing, I'll venture to say that most Moms love chocolate. I don't know what to tell you about the ones that don't love chocolate...I can't imagine such a thing!

A friend of mine turned me on to this fabulous chocolatier. The chocolates taste amazing and they're beautiful too! They make the perfect gift chocolate if you ask me.

One of my favorites are the Cupcake Truffles--yummy and oh so cute!

The Spring Bonnet Collection is pretty and fresh. They're sold out on Moonstruck's site, but you can get them here still. Act fast though, they're sure to go quick with Mother's Day coming up.

I also fancy these darling Truffle Tea Cups and Saucers. I would commit myself to 4 o'clock tea if these were served everyday. What a fun treat!

Cleaning up the farm takes on a whole new meaning when you're talking about Country Critter Truffles. I think they're almost too cute to eat!

If you want to find more fabulous chocolates, go explore here to get lost in all the beautiful chocolate. Enjoy! :o)

Happy Chocolating/Searching/Shopping, Payton

Fun & Useful Mother's Day Gifts (Promo Code Below)

Mothers are not unlike most people in the world...some are easy to shop for while others are difficult to please. As a rule of thumb, I like to believe that Mothers enjoy anything and everything that their children buy for them. Reality shows me that that's not always the case. Sad, but true folks! If your Mother is hard to please then try going out of your way to find her something cool for Mother's Day.

Show your Mom some love by buying her a cool necklace.

   

Perhaps your Mom would prefer something cozy to wear instead.
                                                                                                    

What about some really fun stuff for the kitchen or entertaining?
                                                                                                   

Perhaps your Mom's more into pampering rather than cooking, hmmm?
