Celebrating Mothers & the Special Women in our Lives
/
TTLT founder, Annie cheng sim, with her mother in peru
As April showers turn to May flowers, I always think of my mother who is an avid gardener. And to boot, Mother's Day is just around the corner. My dad notoriously called these "Hallmark holidays," and so my childhood memories of celebrating with parents were always centered around experiences, not things. I remember waking “early” in the morning to cook breakfast in bed for my mom. Whether it was actually a gift was questionable, since my kitchen-cleaning skills still left pancake batter in hard-to-reach places.
As the years progressed, so did our experiences together, and so many of the fun things we both enjoy exploring were an inspiration for how I curated TTLT's overseas adventures. There were components of conversations with locals, learning from artisans about their trades, and (of course) cooking.
Last year, my mom and I celebrated virtually, adding one of her favorite cocktails to our Peruvian cooking class for Mother's Day. This year, as our 'bubbles' have combined, we're excited to share a cooking class together from the same kitchen with one of our chefs overseas…I'm still drooling over Srisuda's Thai Satay class.
We'd love to have you celebrate Mother's Day with us! And in the spirit of sharing, I'd also love to hear your stories, recommendations, and favorite memories of Mother's Day. Looking forward to your comments!
