Flip-Flops to Flip Over
Summer is around the corner and you’ll probably be purchasing some flip-flops. Whether you wear them at the pool, in the gym or just about everywhere, it pays to get a comfortable and reliable pair.
Okabashi flip-flops are designed to contour to your foot for ultimate comfort. Plus they offer a massaging insole and arch support. They are made from 30 percent recycled material and can be recycled if you ever wear them out. They are guaranteed for two years, made in the U.S.A. (Buford, Ga.), machine washable and slip resistant.
The new Maui design (shown here) is ideal for moms, and comes in nine super-summer colors. Their Classic Flip-Flop comes in kid’s sizes. Order them online at www.okabashi.com (where there are sales and coupons) or find them at your local CVS, Walgreens or at select Whole Foods Markets. $14.99 and up.
Fun for Mom
Ask a mother what she really wants for Mother’s Day and it might be some non-mom time. That could mean a day at the spa or some time with girlfriends.
Lunch out with the girls is always nice, but how about a class where the entire group can get in some fun and physical activity? Try one of these outings for a boost of endorphins and a bit of girlfriend bonding.

Explore-a-thon! Fabulous Family Fun
Westchester Children’s Museum (WCM) can officially say they are now “at home.” Since recently receiving their lease at Rye Playland’s North Bathhouse, plans are moving forward to create a hands-on, educational children’s museum that will become a second home for many Westchester families.
Enjoy a day of family fun and help support the building of this dynamic new venue at the annual WCM Explore-a-thon! Children of all ages and adults can participate in a festival of hands-on activities from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday June 3rd at Rye Town Park.
The all-inclusive admission fee of $5 per person benefits the campaign to build this much-needed museum. Feel free to register on the WCM website, or just drop-in on event day. Interested families can also sponsor a family in need for $75 (transportation and material costs). This fee also includes entry to the event for the sponsor and sponsor’s family. Call 421-5050 for more information on the sponsorship program. www.discoverwcm.org.
