In recent years, more local school districts have begun to require
students to volunteer or complete community service projects as part of
their graduation requirements. As a result, many Seattle parents have
turned their children's efforts into homework for the whole family,
volunteering together to make a lasting impression on their communities.

Last year was my first Mother's Day as a mom, and all I wanted was some sleep. This year, while I'd still like some sleep, I also want every single body-care product from Belli Motherhood, a sibling to the pregnancy and baby-care collections made by Seattle's Belli Skin Care.

Last week I was talking with some local indie business people about the need for a space where parents can work and network with their kiddos in tow -- something like a playground or a cafe that was both kid- and parent-friendly. So this morning I was pleased when I received word that just such a spot is slated to open this weekend.
Playmatters, which will celebrate its grand opening this Saturday on Phinney Ridge, is conceived as a place where parents and other caregivers can network while their children ages birth through five can safely play.

One day a year is hardly enough to honor our mothers for all they've given us -- but you have to start somewhere. Show Mom what a fine job she did raising you by surprising her with just the right Mother's Day experience, whether she'd prefer a grown-up day out, some time with the whole family or the ever-popular ginormous weekend meal.

Even slightly warm spring days in Seattle make children eager to get outside and run around, and the budding and blooming and greening of our neighborhoods captivates the interest of those who are closest to the ground.
