(May 12) Today we're celebrating . . .  Limerick Day


Limerick Day
A limerick is a five line poem popularized by Edward Lear. On this his birthday, take some time to write your own limerick today. Here is an example to get you started. . .

There once were some rhymes they called limericks
Repeated by smart men and dimwits
They’re easy to make
A real piece of cake
Until you get to the last line

And many limericks can be quite colorful. Remember - There once was a man from Nantucket. . . ??

Mother’s Day is the time to celebrate your one-of-a-kind mom. If you’re stumped for creative ways to show her just how much she means to you, don’t worry: We have plenty of great suggestions. Our Guide to Mother’s Day Gifts has a trove of unique gift ideas for all kinds of moms (and all kinds of budgets). If homemade gifts are more your style, then you’ll want to check out our step-by-step instructions for Mother’s Day crafts.

We’ve also got the perfect brunch menu, with easy-to-make recipes - so there’s no excuse not to make her breakfast in bed. Or to surprise her with an elegant afternoon tea party, where you can serve one of our mouthwatering muffin recipes.

At Mother’s Day on the Net, you can also learn all about the history (or should we say “her”story) of this special day, plus how the British celebrate their moms on Mothering Sunday, and how bereaved military moms are honored on Gold Star Mother’s Day. And you can read why the President of the United States thinks America’s 85 million moms are so special!

We even have the inside scoop on ten of Hollywood’s hottest moms - who may have the world at their feet, but when they become a mom are brought to their knees just like the rest of us.

Mother’s Day 2008 will be celebrated on Sunday May 11. We look forward to celebrating this special day together with you, our readers. Here’s to our moms!

Happy Holidays,
Holidays on the Net
