This Saturday, September 21st the good folks at President Lincoln’s Cottage will throw a Family Day celebration complete with tours of the cottage and make-your-own top hats (140 Rock Creek Church Rd./Upshur). The festivities will also include a civil war encampment, period stories, live music, and a military drill team. I went last year and not only did I learn a bit about Lincoln, but I got to pet a goat, too.
There was also pie. Yummy, yummy pie. The grounds have a gorgeous view of the city and, along with a tons of delicious food for sale, they’re cool with bringing your own picnic. On a more serious note, the current special exhibit “Can You Walk Away?” about modern human trafficking is excellent and worth seeing before it closes in December. Full disclosure, my friend curated the exhibit, but it really is thought provoking and you’ll probably need a hug afterwards. Or pie.

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
