Several fun places around Long Island are offering free services for mothers. Some of these establishments include:

Another idea to do this weekend is a spa day. A soothing spa day is a great way to say “thank you” for all of that hard work she does. A spa day can be going to a local salon or spa or even enjoying a homemade spa day. She will be sure to enjoy a day full of relaxation.

Vacations don’t always have to be extravagant and far from home. There are so many weekend getaways right here on Long Island. If you choose to plan a weekend getaway for your mom, it’s a good idea to provide a variety of hotel choices, this way she won’t feel obligated to follow your exact plans. Some destination ideas include Montauk, New York City or the many nature trails that Long Island has to offer.

The weather is warming up, and wine tasting is an awesome springtime activity. Long Island Vineyards are calling your name this Mother’s Day!

Add an extra twist to your Cinco De Mayo fiesta!

Add an extra twist to your Cinco De Mayo fiesta!

It`s Cinco De Mayo and what could be better than fresh, homemade guacamole to add to your fiesta? I am going to give you a homemade recipe that is so easy and delicious, that you will have to try it!

The ingredients necessary for this recipe are, 3 avocados, sour cream, red onion, salt, pepper and garlic. This recipe can really vary on your taste but I’ll tell you how much I use when I make it. I start with mashing the 3 avocados in a bowl. I then add a pinch of salt and pepper. Next comes a ½ cup of sour cream. Then I add a chopped red onion. Finally its finished off with a pinch of garlic. A trick to keeping the guacamole fresh is keeping the pit of the avocado in the middle of the dish. This way it’ll stay nice and fresh for your Cinco De Mayo celebration. All you need is to add friends, tacos and sangria and your fiesta is complete!

 

Six Flags Great Adventure`s newest rollercoaster is no joke!

Do you love rollercoasters and are looking for the latest thrill? Well, one local amusement park has you covered. Six Flags Great Adventure located in New Jersey is debuting a new ride that is seriously no joke.  The name of this newest attraction is “The Joker”. “The Joker is undeniably one of the greatest DC Comics Super-Villains ever created. Only someone with his warped sense of humor could provide this level of insanity ─ or spinsanity ─ with a new, vertical coaster that delivers gravity-defying somersaults with utter unpredictability. It is the perfect addition to our dynamic line-up of award-winning roller coasters because this ride delivers total mayhem with its next-generation, cutting-edge thrills,” Six Flags Great Adventure President John Fitzgerald said in January. This intense rollercoaster is described as a 4-D, free-fly coaster that will allow riders to flip head-over-heels at least six times during the ride that features two “beyond 90-degree” drops. The 120-foot-tall ride is expected to open in the spring of 2016. Will you be daring enough to go on this ride?
