MAY IS FOR CELEBRATING MOMS

have always considered May one of the prettiest months — and rightly so because of all the moms out there. Mother’s Day is one of my favorite holidays because not only do I get to be spoiled by the three wonderful boys in my life, but I also get to celebrate my own mom and thank her for everything she’s done for me. If you’re looking for a way to show your mom how much you love her, we’ve got some great ideas. Use our tutorials to make her a heart pendant from clay or some DIY plant markers for her garden, or treat her to a scrumptious breakfast, complete with a mimosa toast. No matter how you celebrate Mom — whether she’s still here or not — we hope you have a safe and wonderful day making new memories or looking fondly on years past. Happy Mother’s Day!

BUCKLING UP BABY Britax B-Safe Ultra Cool Flow Infant Car Seat,

7 of the safest infant car seats available

$249.99, Kohl’s This car seat has a range of great safety features, and is designed to prevent overheating. We love that it has an impact-absorbing base and an impact-stabilizing steel frame. Plus, it exceeds federal safety standards.

STORY Lauren Corona/BestReviews

riving with your newborn can feel completely unintuitive. Is your infant car seat safe? Did you do enough research on car seats? Infant car seats are exclusively rear-facing, allowing them to absorb crash force, and they’re designed to fit newborns with the right level of recline, supporting the head and neck in a way that forwardfacing car seats don’t. Proper installation is key. Follow the instructions in the car seat’s manual precisely. A certified child safety seat technician can help you with installation, too. Some local fire departments offer this service, or you can search the National Child Passenger Safety Certification website to find a technician in your area. Here are seven of the safest infant car seats on the market.

UPPAbaby MESA Infant Car Seat, $299.99, Amazon The MESA’s innovative “SMARTSecure System” combines a standard LATCH system with a visual indicator that tells you the seat is properly secured, so you can rest assured your baby’s car seat is locked safely in place. It has impressive side impact protection and an intuitive five-point harness.

Chicco KeyFit 35 Infant Car Seat, $249.99, Kohl’s We love this infant car seat for its LockSure steelreinforced seat belt locking system, its anti-rebound bar for additional stability, and extendable headrest to keep babies safe as they grow.

Maxi-Cosi Mico 30 Infant Car Seat,

$199.99, Amazon You can safety fit this car seat with or without a base when you need to. The fivepoint harness keeps baby secure, and the fact you can remove the seat covers without unthreading the harness means you don’t risk rethreading it incorrectly.

Doona Infant Car Seat/ Stroller with LATCH Base, $499.99, Bed Bath

and Beyond This design features built-in wheels that flip down to transform it into a stroller. It has impressive side impact protection and is tested to ensure it meets the strictest safety standards.

Clek Liing Infant Car Seat, $349.99, Amazon Clek’s Rigid LATCH system keeps baby snug and secure. The Load Leg reduces rotations and absorbs shock in a collision, reducing the force of a crash by roughly 40%.

Graco SnugRide SnugLock 35 Platinum XT Infant Car Seat,

$249.99, Amazon This car seat is easy to install with the SnugLock LATCH system. The SafetyCore Energy Absorption Zone helps absorb all collision energy in the event of a crash to keep your baby safe.

Magnificent mimosas

Tips for making the classic drink, plus two twists

TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY Kiley Cruse

imosas are a classic brunch staple — perfect for Mother’s Day, birthdays, holidays, even a casual weekend breakfast while lounging in your favorite PJs. Traditional mimosas combine equal parts of dry — not sweet — sparkling wine and orange juice. For the best results, add the sparkling wine first, then top off the glasses with the orange juice. This allows the cocktail to mix together on its own as stirring will cause the wine to become flat.

There are numerous fun adaptations — we share a couple here — but for each, the key is starting with quality ingredients. Consider using fresh-squeezed orange juice and buy a sparkling wine you would drink on its own. For children and non-alcoholic drinking adults, all of these recipes can easily be turned into mocktails. Simply substitute non-alcoholic sparkling grape juice, sparkling soda or flavored sparkling water for the sparkling wine. Recipes on page 9

May 2021

CLASSIC MIMOSA SERVES 8 • 1 (750 ml) bottle chilled dr y sparkling wine • 3 cups (750 ml) chilled orange juice (freshly squeezed is best) • ½ cup (120 ml) Grand Marnier, optional 1. Fill 8 champagne flutes half full with chilled sparkling wine. 2. Top with orange juice. 3. If you are using, add 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier to each glass.

TEQUILA SUNRISE MIMOSA

This recipe is a fun, festive, boozy twist on the classic mimosa. For best results, use well-chilled ingredients. • • • • •

Tequila Sparkling wine Orange juice Grenadine Fresh orange or maraschino cherr y for garnish

1. Pour 1 ounce of tequila into a champagne flute. 2. Add sparkling wine until your flute is roughly half full. 3. Pour in orange juice until the flute is mostly full, leaving about ½ inch at the top of your flute. 4. Finish by adding a large splash of grenadine to each flute. Garnish with fruit, if desired.

SORBET MIMOSAS

While great for any brunch, this would also make a perfect dessert cocktail. The drink is simple, gorgeous and fully customizable — simply choose any color or flavor. • • • •

Sorbet Clementine vodka, optional Sparkling wine Fresh fruit for garnish, optional

1. Fill glass with 4-5 small scoops of sorbet. (We used a melon baller.) 2. Top with 1 tablespoon vodka, if using. 3. Top with sparkling wine and garnish with fresh fruit. Note: For a creamier drink, substitute sherbet for the sorbet. Adapted from www.thecookierookie.com

Lifetime of memories Marian’s Field Day is much more than fun and games

chool field days are a springtime tradition — three-legged races, sack races and kickball tournaments are standard field day fare. At Marian High School, Field Day is unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Classes compete in costume, singing and dancing as they tell the story of their spirited theme. The pageantry takes Field Day to a whole different level. It is one of the school’s most loved traditions, and for the all-girls school’s 700 students and more than 9,500 alumnae, Field Day lessons and memories last a lifetime. For all the fun and festivity, Marian Field Day brings students together and teaches life skills. “There is a connection with every single alumna that ever went to Marian. It is such a learning environment. It’s collaborative, it’s creative, it’s teamwork. Field Day is all those things,” Marian President Mary Higgins said.

A NEW WAY OF EDUCATING

In 1957, Marian’s very first Field Day consisted of field events, a softball game and a picnic. As the years went on, focus shifted from athletic competition in field events to a creative competition of hall decorations, costumes, floats and demonstrations. Today, students have one week, known as Field Week, to execute their theme. During Field Week, students attend their classes in the mornings and spend the afternoons working in committees to prepare for Friday’s big event: Field Day. “The whole process teaches everybody how to work together in different ways,” said Betsy Ronspies, ’11. “It really makes you be creative and get outside of the box. You may have to work with someone you never would have crossed paths with otherwise. It’s a learning experience in teamwork and how good communication really pays off.” Ready or not, the deadline is Friday, and the show must go on. “Field Day teaches life-long skills, and if they’re not taught early, they’re never taught. These

skills translate into careers,” said Shaela Cavel Wepfer, ’92.

SEEING IS BELIEVING

You can’t meet a Marian girl without hearing about Field Day, but the consensus seems to be that it is something that must be seen to be believed. As curiosity and attendance has grown, Field Day was moved from Benson Park to Creighton to UNO’s Baxter Arena to accommodate larger crowds. The event is now streamed on the Marian website so members of the Marian community can watch wherever they are. Even with the changes and additions, Sallie Delgado Peters, ’00, maintains that Field Day has always highlighted Marian

students’ drive and talents. “Whether you’re a very talented artist who can bring a concept alive for your class or if you have an engineering mind you can use to create a mascot that is interactive or you can write clever lyrics… you’ve got all these talents and strengths that are encompassed in each class,” Peters said. “There are so many diﬀerent ways you can shine with Field Day.” The hours spent working side-byside with your classmates to achieve a common goal build class unity and make Field Day unforgettable. The unexpected lessons students learn from these activities are what stick with them and are what makes Field Day so special, says Sara Sheeren McKeon, ’81. “You gain an appreciation of Field Day after you’ve been away from it,” McKeon said. “In the moment, it can be stressful with deadlines and so many people working together. Now, I have great memories from that time, and they only get better as time goes on… It all becomes a part of who you are.”

JEWELRY TO MELT , MOM S HEART Simple pendants, shaped with love TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY Ashlee Coffey

olymer clay is one of my favorite crafting mediums. It’s easy to work with, blends wonderfully and doesn’t dry out easily. It’s also fun (and simple enough) for kids to use. Grab some polymer clay (I like Sculpey III) at your nearest craft store and make this adorable pendant for Mom this Mother’s Day.

May 2021

HEART PENDANT • • • • •

Polymer clay, in color(s) of your choice Clay roller Small heart (or other shape) cutter or a silicone mold Baking sheet Parchment paper

1. Prep the clay by rolling it between your palms. The warmth from your hands will make the clay roll out more easily. Use a single color or a blend to make colorful swirls. 2. On a clean, smooth surface (I use a $2 tile from a hardware store), roll out the clay to ¹⁄8 to ¼ inch thick. 3. Using a cutter, cut out your shapes. You can also take a small ball of clay and stick it into a silicone mold

and pop it out for a fun shape (like a flower). If you’re attaching separate pieces of clay (like the flower, leaves and heart shown here), you’ll need bakeable adhesive for oven-bake clay. Sculpey brand is available at any craft store. Add just a small dab between the pieces of clay. 4. Before you move the cut or molded clay from your work surface, make a hole for the jump ring using a toothpick or something similar. 5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Add your clay pieces. Bake according to package directions. (I allow about 25 minutes.) 6. Once baked and cooled, add a jump ring and thread the pendant onto a cord or chain as a necklace. Present it to Mom and watch her melt over her one-of-a-kind jewelry.

What did I plant where? Try these easy DIY garden markers

TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY Kiley Cruse

n the spring I used to plant seeds in my garden certain that I would remember what I’d planted where. It was never a huge garden—usually just five or six things—so how hard could it be? Silly question. It never failed that I forgot. I finally realized that marking what I planted would save me much frustration later. There are many cute plant markers you can buy and ones you can make that require a higher level of crafting skills. But there are so many cute ways to mark plants in your garden that can be made from things you likely have around the house, don’t require an art degree and are very inexpensive to make.

FOUR TO TRY

1. Rocks + paint + puffy paint 2. Gallon paint stir stick + paint + puffy paint 3. Wine cork + wooden kebab skewer + permanent marker 4. Popsicle sticks + glue + permanent markers

STAMP OF APPROVAL TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY Ashlee Coffey

’m an avid gardener. I started gardening with my grandma when I was very young, and my parents had a garden every summer. Today, I plant my garden with my kids. This year we’re planning to go a bit smaller and do a salsa garden — tomatoes, peppers, onions and cilantro. I like using garden markers. Some years I’ve just used the marker that comes with the plant. But those never last very long. Other years I’ve written the plant or vegetable name on the handle of a plastic spoon. Permanent marker is best, though the writing wears off faster than I’d like. Earlier this year, I got a metal stamping kit. The kits can be found at just about any craft store and are available at online retailers. It’s fun to use — once you get the hang of it, and the results look pretty good! My first metal stamp project was a necklace pendant that took me a few tries to get right. The first attempts were a little crooked and uneven, and I wasn’t pounding the metal letters hard enough with the hammer. I recommend practicing on a few scrap metal pieces before starting with your actual project. Hopefully these stamped metal garden markers will last for a few years!

METAL STAMPED GARDEN MARKERS • Metal stamping kit • Metal garden markers 1. To start, figure out how long your word will be. I spelled out each word with the metal alphabet pieces and then measured the length. 2. Mark the length of the word on your marker so it’s centered and even. 3. Next, begin stamping. Start with the first letter, striking it hard enough to make an impression in the metal. I hammered the letter a few extra times just to make sure I had a strong imprint. Redoing a letter is tricky because there’s no sure way to be precise.

CERAMIC KNOCKOFFS Clay garden markers don’t require a kiln TEXT, STYLING + PHOTOGRAPHY Kiley Cruse

hile browsing Etsy, I came across a set of glazed ceramic garden markers I really liked. Without access to a kiln, I began looking for alternate DIY ways to get a similar look. • After much internet searching, I settled on an option using polymer clay, liquid polymer clay, alcohol inks and rubber stamps. With these supplies, along with a few things from around the house, I was ready to try something new. • While the results aren’t as shiny as the ceramic ones I first saw, I’m happy with the result.

POLYMER CLAY GARDEN MARKERS • • • • • • •

White polymer clay, such as Sculpey Translucent liquid polymer clay Alcohol ink Ruler Knife Rubber stamps Rolling pin or pasta roller

1. Roll polymer clay into a rectangle at least 8 inches long and 3⁄8 inch thick. 2. Using a ruler to make a straight edge, cut out the shape you’d like for your garden marker. We created a straight design, 8 inches long by ¾ inch wide, at left; and an asymmetrical style, 8 inches long and 1¼ inches wide at the top tapering to about ½ inch near the bottom, see page 2.

3. Using rubber stamps, stamp out the name of the plants you want to mark and other decorations, if you wish. 4. Bake markers according to package directions. 5. While the clay is baking, on a plastic plate squeeze out some of the liquid polymer clay and top with a few drops of the alcohol ink. Allow the alcohol to evaporate before using a toothpick to blend the color into the clay. 6. Remove markers from oven and allow to cool. Using a paintbrush or your fingertip, spread the liquid clay over the baked marker, allowing it to pool in the stamped impressions. 7. Bake again according to the directions for your brand of liquid clay. 8. Allow to cool completely.

BE WELL CAMI WELLS

Feeding the picky eater There’s a strategy to helping kids enjoy a variety of healthy foods

May 2021

Let kids help with meals and snacks. Children are more likely to eat food they help make. Have your kids prepare meals and snacks with you. Let them help make the shopping list, pick out food at the grocery store and slice, mix, bake or cook the food.

BASIC OMELET

Prepare a dish together. A basic omelet takes minutes to whip up. Serves 2 • 3 eggs • 1 tablespoon milk or water • ¼ teaspoon salt • Black or cayenne pepper, to taste • Additional fillings: vegetables, chopped bell pepper, cheese, ham, turkey, bacon (optional) 1. Wash hands with soap and water. 2. In a small bowl, crack the eggs. Wash hands with soap and water after cracking raw eggs.

KILEY CRUSE

ith a picky eater, mealtime can seem more like a battle than a relaxing way to spend time with your family. If waging war over vegetables has pushed you too far, don’t give up by dialing for a pizza or cruising to the nearest drive-thru. Try these tips for introducing your picky eater to a variety of healthy foods. Lead by example. As a parent, you are your child’s most important role model — especially when it comes to making healthy choices. If you are open to trying new foods, your child will be, too. Stock up on a variety of healthy foods. Buy plenty of fruits, veggies, whole grains, lean protein and dairy products. Keep healthy foods where they’re easy for your kids to see and reach. Don’t force it. Forcing your child to eat certain foods will only cause stress for you and your child. Serve a few different fruits and veggies at mealtimes. Let your kids find the foods they like. Serve new foods. Try different textures and flavors. If you normally serve sliced apples, try sliced avocado or sliced kiwi. Instead of carrot sticks, try snap peas, sliced bell peppers or cucumbers. Get creative. Add fruits and veggies to foods your kids already like. Mix blueberries and oats into pancakes. Add sliced fruit to your child’s favorite cereal. Serve shredded veggies over rice or whole wheat pasta. Make smoothies with fresh or frozen strawberries, a banana and low-fat yogurt. Make healthy food fun to eat. Cut baked chicken, low-fat cheese and veggies into bite-size pieces. Let kids “dip” these pieces into dunking sauces. Try hummus, low-fat ranch dressing, ketchup and mustard. Cut sandwiches into fun shapes. Give your kids the ingredients to “build” their own healthy taco or pizza.

3. Beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper, if desired, with a fork until blended. 4. Spray a small skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Heat skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in egg mixture. 5. As the egg mixture starts to cook around the edges, tilt pan and gently push cooked portions to the center to allow uncooked portions to reach the pan’s hot surface. 6. If desired, top eggs with additional ingredients while top is still moist. Fold the omelet in half or roll. Slide omelet from pan onto plate. 7. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Cami Wells is a Nebraska Extension educator in Hall County. Contact her at 308-385-5088 or at cwells2@unl.edu.
