Mother's Day Challenge 💓


Can't go shopping? 

How about an EDIBLE gift for mom?  

I received this card in the mail from a dear friend who makes HANDMADE cards.  I was encouraged, and it made my day!  

 During these challenging times, it is more important than ever to let our loved ones know how much we appreciate them!   

 I hope you will show LOVE & APPRECIATION to your mom this weekend!  

 TASK: 
Choose a recipe to make/cook/bake for her.  Perhaps Breakfast in Bed?  Lunch?  Dinner? or Dessert?  --Your choice! 
(If you are living with a host mom, how can you show her your appreciation to her?💓)

 Lucas' Show and Share: 

 My son made one of my favourites:  Cheese Quesadillas while I had a shower!  (I helped a little bit. 😄)



Quesadillas  mise en place: Dice sausages, white cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, parsley, guacamole sauce 


Cooked over a low stove, covered for 3-4 minutes to melt cheese, place second tortilla over top, flip to lightly brown other side.

  

Garnished with more parsley, served hot! 
EXPLORE: 
Explore your Family's History


"The more children knew about their family’s history, the stronger their sense of control over their lives, the higher their self-esteem and the more successfully they believed their families functioned. The “Do You Know?” scale turned out to be the best single predictor of children’s emotional health and happiness...." ~ Dr. Duke and Dr. Fivush, psychologist

1.  How did my parents meet?
2.  When a did our family arrive in Canada?
3. What were some of our grandparents's challenges?

5.  Did your parents have a favourite/dislikes of dishes when you were little? 

(If your parents are not with you, and you are staying with a guardian/home-stay, ask your parents in an email, or during a video chat.  It is even more important that you stay connected with your family if they are far away from you.)
