May5 taco tuesday
Woo woo it’s not only Cinco de Mayo it’s also TACO TUESDAY!! Enjoy a day celebrating. 

What are you celebrating? Cinco de Mayo, (Spanish: “Fifth of May”), also called Anniversary of the Battle of Puebla, holiday celebrated in parts of Mexico and the United States in honour of a military victory in 1862 over the French forces of Napoleon III.

What is Taco Tuesday? Taco Tuesday is a custom in many US cities of going out to eat tacos or in some cases select Mexican dishes typically served in a tortilla on Tuesday nights.

So whether you just celebrate Taco Tuesday, Cinco de Mayo, or both together, ENJOY and share how you celebrate by sending me a picture so we can post! When we can’t go we can take out and eat at home or maybe you are lucky enough to have someone at home who can cook a good Mexican Feast or at least some yummy tacos! If so, send those bragging pictures in to [email protected] and enjoy!

Happy Easter
Wishing you and your family a happy and healthy Easter holiday. We have been through some trying times the past month, please take this time to enjoy a little family fun this weekend. It doesn’t matter whether you practice the right religion to celebrate Easter, this weekend is also about family and some fun ( it doesn’t have to be about Jesus and religion). I would ask you all you to take a moment if possible and spend some family fun time, be grateful to have that time and enjoy yourselves. The world is a tough place right now for many (and for some of you... you may know someone struggling and it is so hard to watch) and we want to just take a few moments to enjoy what we do have in front of us...
 
as Pooh Bear says...  “Any day spent with you is my favorite day. So, today is my new favorite day.” Spend some quality time this weekend with loved ones... Happy Easter from a Pooh Bear and a I.
-Ms. Smith

YOU'VE BEEN CHALLENGED! Send me a picture of you smiling too so we can share our smiles!
