Do
something special for Mom this Mother's Day by providing her with a
variety of eco-options -- outdoor activities that are fun for the
entire family. Plan a hiking, biking, or backpacking trip to her
favorite outdoor location, whether it's a state or national park, or
simply a brisk walk around a nearby lake or along a scenic stretch of
river. And don't forget to bring along the appropriate equipment:
binoculars, a small pocketknife, and sunglasses or a cap with a
sun-shielding visor.
Or, if Mom prefers, get up early, prepare a delicious breakfast with
all her favorites, then take her bird watching. The chickadees, wrens
and bluebirds will welcome your calm, quiet company. Then rest a bit
in the early afternoon while you're enjoying the gourmet goodies
you've packed in your picnic basket. Spread a blanket, relax in the
sun, and break out the wheat crackers, salmon, and pasta salad. After
lunch, make another memory when you relish a Thermos of fresh coffee
and handful of coconut bon bons. Mom will think she's in a sidewalk
cafe instead of the great American outdoors!
If Mom prefers to make a long weekend of it, there are numerous
ecological organizations that offer a wide variety of individual or
family vacations and service trips. The possibilities are limited
only by Mom's imagination: Perhaps she'll opt for trips which include
white-water rafting, canoeing or kayaking, or maybe she'll chose to
climb the Sierras or hike the Himalayan hilltops. Whatever Mom
decides, please remember to adhere to the rules of the naturalist:
take only pictures, and leave only footprints. And have a wonderful
day with Mom.
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
