Tips for finding just the right gift this Mother’s Day

ABOVE AND RIGHT: Placing flowers at the grave site is a popular way to honor mom’s memory on Mother’s Day.

She said husbands shopping for their spouse for Mother’s Day will often look at jewelry, especially charm bracelets.

Tammy Seales of Maplesville Florist and Bake Shop said it is often mothers themselves that are contacting her for Mother’s Day, ordering food so they will not have to cook.

A son or daughter looking for a meaningful present could easily replicate that at their mom’s favorite restaurant that provides to-go or catering options.

“Those have been super popular because you can use them for the beach or in your car to carry groceries or as a baby bag,” Deneke said.

Our dedication to providing reliable power day after day puts our overall dependability at 99.9%. However, in those rare events when power is lost, our record of restoring it is 55% better than the national average. This is our home too, which is why we give our all to deliver Power for a Better Alabama.

“Because then they would always look up mom’s birth stone and all the kid’s birth stones and add to that,” Deneke said.Deneke said the store also carries a lot of inspirational items that might be a good Mother’s Day choicewindchimesgrandmothers.popularKnickknackspresent.arealwayschoicesforPre-madegiftbasketsandcanalsobeagoodforthosenotsurewhat to Throughoutget. the years, the concept of giving mom a day to rest on Mother’s Day has been promoted as a good gift idea.

Chicken and dressing and ranch potatoes are popular choices from Seales’s menu. Her homemade red velvet cakes and her caramel cakes are favorites for the May holiday. Pound cake and German chocolate cake are also popular.

When there’s a lot on the line, our linemen are on it.

“They pick up and then they just have to reheat it on Mother’s Day,” Seales said.

“We do not bake and freeze our cakes,” Seales said. “They are baked fresh.”Wherever someone is ordering from, planning ahead is important to success. For instance, Seales said it is best to place an order two weeks in advance, but she will take orders up to a week before.

Gifts that gave mom a chance to relax were especially popular last year and are expected to be again this

Buying flowers to honor a mother who has passed away by laying them on the grave accounts for the majority of Seales’s flower sales around Mother’s Day.For those wanting to get a non-edible gift, but are feeling kind of stumped, Seales recommends home décor or a dough bowl.

“Becauseyear.ofCOVID anything that had to do with comfort or leisure to spoil people or comfortable clothes — that’s been a big trend,” Deneke said.

Insulated cups and tea towels have also been popular, especially those that say mom, grandma or a saying about moms.“The tea towels were super popular last year,” Deneke said.

While regular visits to a professional groomer are recommended and helpful, there are things that people need to do at home to ensure a pet is looking their best and avoid complications.

STORY AND PHOTOS BY JOYANNA LOVE

“A lot of people do not realize the maintenance that comes with it (pet ownership) and not just with the grooming process but with the maintenance at home,” Headley said.

Regular brushing at home is important. Just how often and what kind of brush needs to be used varies from breed to breed. Headley said it is important for pet owners to research their dog’s specific needs.

“Peoplecoat.will brush at home with a slick brush (and) on the outside it looks like there is no matting — like it is very smooth but … the undercoat is so thick that people don’t realize when it starts to get matted,” Headley said.

A metal comb can get through both the top and under layers “to make sure you are getting all the

matting out.”

“There are several techniques that we use,” Headley said. “… We have several tools that can kind of help get in there and break those matts up, but if they get too tight up against the skin. The only solution is to just shave them out.”

To help keep furry friends and their atmosphere smelling good, a line of hypoallergenic cologne sprays has been developed that can be used on the pets, furniture, cars, etc. Little Angles carries Wiffy Scents which are created just down the road in Marbury.

Shaving a double coated dog should only ever be a last resort.

“If you let the quick grow out and you can’t keep the nails cut back, it can cause pressure when the dogs walks and can push backwards on those nails and cause pressure and pain and soreness and pain in their paws,” Headley said.

surroundings — as well as those of her new home in Alabama.

Cruz's 9/11 artwork now hangs in the local library in Coral Springs, Florida. She also completed five separate companion pieces that she gifted to each family.Now, Cruz is hoping to bring people together once again for the purpose of creating art. Her first class at CCAC was held in April and focused on batik painting, an ancient Indonesian form of painting that involves wax-resist dyeing applied to a cloth.

Upcoming classes at the CCAC will be held the first Friday of each month starting in July, with the exception of September.

Cruz also has more than 60 videos on her YouTube channel, Chris Cruz Designs, for people to watch and learn new painting techniques.

All classes will take place in the Chilton County Arts Council building located

UPCOMING CLASSES INCLUDE:

“We're trying to introduce all different ways of painting with different materials, and all the classes that we're doing there include all the materials in the cost, and they vary in cost, but all they have to do is show up for the class, and they go home with a finished work of art,” Cruz explains. “We're trying to spread the idea that anybody can paint … Hopefully, it creates some interest, and when people start taking the classes they can tell their friends and they can bring their friends. It is a lot of fun, and you get to share with other people when you're learning something.”

Cruz has also come full circle by moving to Alabama, in a sense, as the Birmingham area reminds her of Puerto Rico — a comparison that might come as a surprise to “Naturally,some.Alabama reminds me of Puerto Rico,” Cruz said. “I love the mountains; the people are friendly. It's very family oriented, so I feel very much at home here. People are polite.”

Chris Cruz explains the next step during a batik painting class.

To begin, each class participant outlined a design on Japanese rice paper. Then, they applied paraffin wax to the portion of cloth not to be painted. After filling in the design with watercolors, they took the rice paper and adhered it to the canvas with matte

“I haven't stopped since,” she said. “From the time I had a paintbrush in my hand, I knew that's what I wanted to do forever.”Cruz refers to herself as an “experimental artist” because she likes to utilize a variety of mediums while experimenting with different techniques from around the world.

The meaning of her art goes deeper than landscapes and surroundings, however, it is about connecting with people. While living in Florida, Cruz did a painting for an anniversary of 9/11 dedicated to five people who had lost loved ones during the attacks. She painted five overlapping flowers using a pen and ink technique (in which a

love with the art form. With a newfound motivation to paint, coupled with an undying curiosity and a rich palette of memories to pull from, there was no stopping Cruz.

“You don't need to know anything about painting to do that,” she said. “You don't need to have any experience whatsoever.”
