Last Minute Mother's Day Ideas

'Twas the night before Mother’s Day and all through the house not a creature was stirring, except for your spouse. I just returned home from an evening trip to the grocery store (I’d like to say I was getting healthy fruits and veggies, bit I was really getting chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers for s’mores). At least I got the low fat grahams. As I was walking in, I saw more than a few men with kids (presumably) dads walking out with what looked like last minute gifts for moms – mostly pink crinkle foil covered pots of tulips. So, if your baby’s daddy is still searching for a way that for your child to celebrate you or you’re looking for something fun to do on your big day; check out these activities and crafts:

·         Bake cupcakes. Dad can do this with your little one or you can try this as a mother-child activity. Get artsy and make Impressionist or Jackson Pollock cupcakes, using the frosting as a canvas.

Art Cupcakes
·         Create paper flowers.

·         Make a planter, packed into a take-out container. Reuse or buy mini take-out containers, decorate, add soil and a seed.

Mom Present
·         Make a mommy and me book.

  5. The point of writing a student article is not about making major research breakthroughs. Here it is important to show the ability to use specialized terminology, it is logical to go from the formulation of a hypothesis to its confirmation or refutation. At the same time, the student of the university shows that he is ready to adhere to the scientific criteria in the article. General rules must be followed:
    - limiting the study to a narrow topic;
    - strict adherence to the formal requirements stipulated by the editors of the collection;
    - the use of a scientific style, terminology corresponding to the chosen topic and discipline;
    - timely submission of materials (the printed edition is published on a specific date, therefore there are strict deadlines for the acceptance of the submitted texts).
    Particular attention should be paid to such a parameter as uniqueness (an acceptable indicator is considered to be at least 75–80%). I can recommend you to use paper-land college essay writing service and get flawless paper. In order not to receive a refusal from the editorial board, it is necessary to achieve the level of originality that is stipulated in the conditions of a particular journal.
