More on Mothers Day

You don’t have to book a table at an expensive restaurant to show Mom you care. Here are six low-cost ways to shower her with love this Sunday:

* Write her a letter telling her why you love her so much, and include your favorite memories of her—some funny, some sweet, some silly. You could even ask her siblings, friends, co-workers and neighbors to write letters explaining why they love and appreciate her, then compile them into a scrapbook.

* Make Mom’s favorite meal—even if no one else in the family likes it!

* Pack a picnic lunch and take it to the park. After you eat, take a leisurely stroll together.

* Do a chore for your mom you know she dislikes, whether it’s washing the car, unloading the dishwasher or pulling weeds.


* Go through old photos together. Recall your favorite memories, such as vacations, graduations and weddings. Gather the best pictures of you and her and compile a “Mom and Me” photo album.

KFC and El Pollo Loco

Hopefully everyone got the free chicken meal coupon for KFC the other day. Here is the bad and good news. KFC was overwhelmed with the response and is now offering rain checks that you have to mail away for. Take your coupon to the store and they will give you the form.
Here's the good news. El Pollo Loco in their bid for customers announced that they will honor the KFC coupon on mothers day only. They find it ridiculous that KFC is turning people away and that the coupon originally was not good on mothers day for some reason. Sounds good to me. I didn't want to cook on mothers day anyway!
