Mother’s Day Inspiration

Processed with VSCO with e5 preset

It’s almost that special time of the year when we honor the mothers in our lives for being there to love and support us through it all. Any mother would be happy just to know that her child/children love her and grateful for everything she’s done, but whether you want to show your appreciation through actions or give her a gift sometimes its hard to choose.

Now I know no one knows your mom like you know your mom, but I’ve made a list of ideas to spark your imagination and inspire you to do something good for you mom.

Clean something without being asked: Take note of what may be dirty or messy in or around the house and take some of the pressure off your mom by cleaning it up for her. You could also give her “coupons” for different chores that can be done over time, when she needs them most, so follow through!

Get crafty and make her a masterpiece: Play to your strengths and make her something that you’re good at making. It doesn’t matter what that may be, as long as you have your mother in mind when you’re creating it.

Give her something she’s interested in: Think of her hobbies and get her something that compliments those hobbies. Get her the next book in that series she’s been reading, buy her supplies for that craft she’s really into, everyone has something they love doing.

Make her a meal or meals so she doesn’t have to cook for herself: Breakfast in bed, lunch in the sun, and/or dinner. If cooking isn’t your thing you could always buy her a meal or meals instead, no judgement!

Make her something for her sweet tooth: Whip her up some chocolate or bake her something nice like a cake, cupcakes or brownies. Again you could always buy her some sweets if baking isn’t your thing!

Guacamelee! Microreview – 20/20!

Guacamelee! is an action platform video game developed and published by Drinkbox Studios.

Inspired by traditional Mexican culture and folklore; the plot and aesthetics of this game are vivacious and vibrant, with a soundtrack to match. I am crazy about the colors used which are a bold and beautiful palette that compliment the Mexican inspiration. The plot integrated elements of traditional Mexico, a classic damsel in distress story, as well as more modern references to video game culture.

Lara Croft Go Microreview – 17/20!

Scribblenauts Unmasked is a fun experience, but a little disappointing when compared to the freedom of Scribblenauts Unlimited, it’s predecessor.

Okami Microreview – 20/20

Inspired by classical Japanese myths, legend and folklore, Okami is an action-adventure video game, developed by Clover Studio and published by Capcom, that weaves a tale of the Shinto sun goddess, Amaterasu, who takes the form of a white wolf and saves the land of Nippon from an overwhelming evil presence.

Nothing delights me more than experiencing a game with unique perspective that resonates with my taste. It thrills me the protagonist is a wolf, my favorite animal and a non-anthropomorphic wolf at that, whom the player controls exclusively throughout the game. The graphic style is appealing and quite timeless in contrast to the common realistic interpretation. Gameplay and mechanics are quite fun and noteworthy, with enough simplicity to enjoy and enough challenge to intrigue. It quickly became and has continued to be my favorite game and I highly recommend it to all.
