If you've been tasked with hosting a party, consider an afternoon tea for your next birthday party, bridal shower, baby shower, Mother’s Day, or a girls get-together.  An afternoon tea consists of tea and a light meal between the hours of 3 and 5pm and is perfect for a group of 6 to 10 ladies. Did you know there is a difference between an afternoon tea and a high tea?  An afternoon tea offers tea and light food to stave off hunger between lunch and dinner.  A high tea is usually served around dinner time and is considered a working person's meal with meat or a heavier main dish. In the United States we often think of an afternoon tea as a pretty big deal.  In fact, if we were to go to a tea house or out for an afternoon tea, we would usually be looking at around $30 or more.  You don't need to spend that kind of money if you host your own.  Bring out your china or use a mix and match setting of china to add to the charm.  If you don't have a china set, ask eac

Thank you, dear readers, for sending us thoughtful emails such as this one below. I believe in angels and that once a parent, always a parent.

She fought to loose her pinned hands;   She struggled to get free,   But mangled metal held her fast   In grim captivity.   Her frightened eyes then focused   On where the back seat once had been,   But all she saw was broken glass and   Two children's seats crushed in. Her twins were nowhere to be seen;   She did not hear them cry,   And then she prayed they'd been thrown free,   Oh, God, don't l

May seems to be one of those in-between months.  It doesn't really have the freshness of spring and it isn't the month of brides but it is a magical month nonetheless.  Did you know that " Maia (meaning "the great one") is the Italic goddess of spring, the daughter of Faunus, and wife of Vulcan." " Maius has always had 31 days." Want to learn more about May and other months? Visit Crowl.org . Looking at the book selections for this month's reading, and I noticed they all have a couple things in common.  Each book has strong female characters, talks of food, and has a death.  Can you find other similarities? To begin our reading it only seems fair that a cat or in this case cats lead the way.  Tatania and Zeus, the magical cats, allow humans Grace and Jack to join them in solving mysteries throughout the 1920s.
