Hosting a tea party by having an afternoon tea on Mother's day is a way to make your mother feel like a queen. There is nothing that says "Happy Mother's Day" more than to indulge your mother with leisure conversation, tea and sweet and savory treats.
To give your mother an afternoon to remember is easy with a little planning. Having an afternoon tea can be whatever you want to make it. You can have an elegant formal tea, a casual informal tea or even a fun themed afternoon tea party.
Since you plan on hosting a tea party make it memorable one, you may want to include colors or special flowers that your mother would enjoy. I have a friend that had a themed afternoon tea with polka dots! Her mother loved polka dots, so the decorations and the theme were polka dots! How fun and memorable to have everyone that attended. They were all wearing polka dots! Her mother still recalls that afternoon tea on Mother's Day will fondness and a smile.
Allow yourself to be creative and come up with what suits you and your mother's preferences. Have fun doing it!
Hosting a tea party means making some decisions
Take time to determine where you are going to have your tea. If you are having the tea at home, consider the garden. If the weather is cool, set up an area that is warm and cozy. Incorporate the colors and theme of your tea into your decorations.
The next step in your planning is to determine the menu. There is a wide variety of things to serve at the tea. You can stick with the basics: offer a selection of hot teas, tea sandwiches and a variety of pastries, biscuits and scones. The common staples of lemon curd and clotted cream can be found online or in an English specialty shop.
Remember that there are no hard rules about how to serve your tea. And tea does not have to be served hot anymore! Although the British would take exception to that!
Be creative with tea cups and saucers
Concerned about the tea cups you are going to use to serve the tea? Think you don't have enough cups or worried that they don't match. The beauty of hosting a tea party is being able to mix and match the tea cups.
You may consider asking your guests to bring their favorite tea cup and saucer to the party. Or you may visit the local flea markets or thrift shops to find a variety of tea cups, tea pots and saucers. If you are lucky, you may come across a few cozies to keep those tea pots warm!
Make sure you plan the music to set the mood. The right music should be playing softly in the background, so as not to interfere with the girl talk that will be going on.
Consider starting your afternoon tea serving seasonal fresh fruit in tea syrup. This is a wonderful and tasty surprise that you will want to try. Trust me you will be asked to serve it again!
Indulge your mother with some special tea sandwiches, biscuits, a selection of special sweet pastries and petit fours. A family favorite I always serve is almond crème filled puffs. In my family, you cannot have an afternoon tea without them.
Afternoon tea is a time to socialize and relax. It is a time for mothers and daughter, who may also be mothers, a time to connect, relax and create memories. You may create a new family tradition and plan on hosting a tea party on Mother's Day every year.

How To Make A Better Cup Of Coffee With White Vinegar
You know it's time to do something when your coffee maker takes forever to make the coffee and sounds like it's about to burst while it's doing it. Odds are it simply is crying out for a good cleaning and this article will tell you how to do that and more using the amazing green cleaning power of undiluted distilled white vinegar.
Cleaning the coffee maker is a snap. Simply pour in a cup of vinegar into the pot and fill with cold water. Pour this mixture into the reservoir and turn the coffee maker on. As the vinegar water solution passes through the maker it will cut the oil left by coffee and eliminate lime deposits left by tap water.
Once the water has cycled through, dump the water and let the pot cool. When it has cooled off fill it with fresh cold water and cycle that through the coffee maker to rinse the last of the vinegar. If it has been some time since you last cleaned the coffee maker you may have to repeat the process.
That takes care of the internal parts, now let's get rid of the pesky stains on the outside. Vinegar is just an amazing cleaning tool and the fact that it is non toxic is a huge bonus. What you may want to do is take an old spray bottle and fill it with a half vinegar half water solution. This way you always have it handy and don't have to mix a new batch every time you want to clean something. Spray this solution on the outside of the coffee maker and the lid of the carafe and watch those stains disappear.
Here are some other great tips on using vinegar around the house.
You can polish copper or brass by mixing 2 tablespoons of ketchup and one tablespoon each of vinegar and salt. Stir well and use a soft cloth to wipe the mixture onto anything made of copper or brass. Keep rubbing until you get a bright shiny finish.
If you have an ant problem at home, spray full strength white vinegar around your doors and windows and it will discourage them from entering.
Ok you took care of the ants, now it's time to get rid of pesky fruit flies. Just set out a saucer filled with vinegar and the little pests will drown themselves in it.
There are literally hundreds of uses for white vinegar. It's cheap and best of all it's green. Do yourself and the Earth a favor and make it your favorite household cleaner.
