"Located in Historic Uptown Shelby" Finest in Flowers Mother's Day is a celebration of women who devote so much of their effort and en- ergy to their families. Celebrating Mom on Mother's Day lets her know all of her efforts haven't gone unnoticed. Mothers may perform similar tasks, but no two moms are the same. Finding ways to celebrate Mom's uniqueness can make the day that much more meaningful and memo- rable. The Crafter Mothers who are avid crafters may enjoy a craft-themed Mother's Day. A family crafting project can make for a fun after- noon and produce mementos that Mom will cherish for years to come. Dads and kids can plan the project in advance without Mom's knowledge, arranging all of the materi- als ahead of time and setting up the craft- ing station the night before or while Mom is relaxing on Mother's Day morning. Kids can even get a head start on the day by mak- ing their own craft for Mom and giving it to her as a Mother's Day present. Dads can keep the craft theme going at dinner and get a laugh out of Mom by pouring her a craft beer when dinner is served. The Reader A 2017 survey from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics found that women read more than men. Women read an average of 19.8 minutes per day, which can make a Mother's Day focused on Mom's love of books an ideal and unique way to spend the day. Kids can write Mom their own books, and Dad can help put them together. Dads can visit rare bookstores and look for origi- nal copies of Mom's favorite books that she might not find elsewhere. The Nature Lover Fishing and other outdoor activities might have a reputation as predominantly male hobbies, but studies show that's not really the case. A 2016 report from the Out- door Foundation found that 46 percent of people who participated in outdoor activities were women. If Mom is a nature enthusiast, families can plan a Mother's Day enjoying the great outdoors, even giving Mom a new fishing pole, hiking gear or other items that align with her favorite nature activity. The Relaxation Specialist Of course, some mothers may want to simply unwind with a relaxing morning at the spa on Mother's Day. In fact, the 2018 U.S. Spa Industry Study found that the spa industry has enjoyed seven consecutive years of consistent growth, with more than 187 billion spa visits in 2017 alone. A re- laxing morning at the spa can be the perfect way for moms to begin Mother's Day before they enjoy a brunch of dinner out with their families. Mother's Day celebrations can be as unique as the women being celebrated. Mothers selflessly devote themselves to their children from infancy into adult- hood. A mother's love never wanes, and she's always ready and willing to step in and put her children first. Mother's Day is a great chance for men, women and children to honor the special women in their lives. Delicious homemade treats can show mothers just how much they're ap- preciated and adored. Try this tasty recipe for "Cold Mango Soufflés Topped with Toasted Coconut" from "The Complete Mexican, South American & Carib- bean Cookbook" (Metro Books) by Jane Milton, Jenni Fleetwood and Marina Filippelli. Cold Mango Soufflés Topped With Toasted Coconut (Makes 4) 4 small mangoes, peeled, pitted and chopped 2 tablespoons water 1 tablespoon powdered gelatine 2 egg yolks 1⁄2 cup superfine sugar 1⁄2 cup milk 11⁄4 cups heavy cream Grated rind of one orange T o a s t e d f l a k e d o r coarsely shred- ded coconut, to decorate P l a c e a few pieces of mango in the base of each of four 2⁄3-cup ra- mekins. Wrap a creased col- lar of nonstick p a r c h m e n t paper around the outside of each dish, ext ending well above the rim. Secure with adhesive tape, then tie tightly with string. Pour the water into a small heatproof bowl and sprinkle the gelatine over the surface. Leave for 5 minutes or until spongy. Place the bowl in a pan of hot water, stirring occasion- ally, until the gelatine has dissolved. Meanwhile, whisk the egg yolks with the super- fine sugar and milk in an- other heatproof bowl. Place the bowl over a pan of sim- mering water and continue to whisk until the mixture is thick and frothy. Remove from the heat and continue whisking until the mixture cools. Whisk in the liquid gelatine. Puree the remaining mango pieces in a food pro- cessor or blender, then fold the puree into the egg yolk mixture with the orange rind. Set the mixture aside until starting to thicken. Whip the heavy cream to soft peaks. Reserve 4 table- spoons and fold the rest into the mango mixture. Spoon into the ramekins until the mixture is 1 inch above the rim of each dish. Chill for 3 to 4 hours, or until set. Carefully remove the paper collars from the souf- flés. Spoon a little of the reserved cream on top of each soufflé and decorate with some toasted flaked or coarsely shredded coconut.
