Mother's Day is coming soon!

Mother's Day is coming soon! It's a time to celebrate motherhood and to thank our mothers who raised us by letting them know how much they are loved each and every day. There are a variety of gifts we can give our mothers for Mothers Day to bring that special smile to their face. Of course-any gift is not complete with a hug or kiss and telling her that you love her.

Some examples of some meaningful gifts that you can give mom this mother's day can be flowers, jewelry, candy, a favorite book or knick knack, gift basket, or even something handmade from the heart. You can create handmade gifts for your mom such as a handmade personalized bracelet or a painted coffee mug with a little flower planted inside-or her favorite candy. 

And remember, not every gift that you give your mother has to be expensive or even off the shelves of a retail store. Try classic gifts like flowers, a poem from the heart or even a handmade gift...




Fragrant. Romantic. Exotic. Originally from the tropics, the gardenia is admired for its creamy white blooms, distinctive glossy leaves and unique perfume. This lush plant arrives in a stylish lavender tin planter beautifully beaded with faux pearls.

Illinois Travel Guide

For almost a week, I have been battling one of the
worst colds I think I have ever had. It began last Tuesday at 3:30 am with 102 degree fever, a very stuffy nose, chest pains, coughing and just over-all exhaustion. I had a bit of a sore throat that previous Monday-but things went from bad to worst in just hours. I was hit fast-and HARD..... ughhh! Was no fun :( I only worked one day at the office and even missed our annual open house.

While I was in bed battling this awful cold, I did find some time to organize some of my Illinois articles though. I thought I would put some of them to good use and make a mini traveler's guide out of them. For now the Illinois Visitor's page sits on my own author biography page, but eventually I will make a website from it.

The page has links to articles that explain hotels or bed and breakfasts to stay at, restaurants in the area and attractions to see. ...

If you would like to see the Illinois Visitor's Guide page yourself or refer it to others, feel free to:  http://www.arianacherry.biz/visitorsguide.html
