Happy Mother’s Day! Fresh Ideas to Celebrate Mom
Friday, May 7th, 2010
Sunday is Mother’s Day! It is a great time to do something special to celebrate the mom in your life.
At a meeting yesterday, someone shared with me that they were going to make their wife a delicious breakfast with grilled asparagus, which got me thinking about how to celebrate mom with a fresh, delicious breakfast from the Farmer’s Market.
I’ve been going weekly to the Farmer’s Market at the College of San Mateo. Some of the fresh, local foods that I’ve been seeing include asparagus, strawberries, oranges, lemons, spinach, eggs, plus jams and much more. Here are a few recipe ideas to tap into the local ingredients available at the Farmer’s Markets near you: (more…)

And What a Day of Giving it Was!
Friday, November 27th, 2009
Actually a whole month of giving! Thanks to our amazing homeowners, great employees, and wonderful folks like you, SummerHill Homes raised over $500 and approx. 1,000 pounds of food for the Second Harvest Food Bank of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties and the Alameda County Food Bank!
WOW! Thank you EVERYONE for your participation!
We are so proud to support agencies that combined serve over 376,000 people a year. With your help, these food banks are making sure that no child, senior, or family goes hungry this holiday season.
In the spirit of giving…What else have you done to support your local community this holiday season? Do you have a non-profit organization you love to support?
Happy Day after Thanksgiving & Friday!

Don’t be frightened! It’s just a little blood, sweat, and tears…
Friday, November 13th, 2009
I had to pick a little bit of a creepy title in honor of this Friday the 13th blog right? Instead of blood and tears (we’ve all had enough of that!), let’s talk sweat, as in sweat equity. And no, we’re not talking about your 13 year old mowing the lawn so he can go out Friday night, we’re talking about your time and non profit organizations.
As you saw in Allison’s post earlier this week, a team of SummerHill employees volunteered their time to build some sweat equity at The Second Harvest Food Bank of San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. In some cases, time can be worth more than money. Rita, the volunteer coordinator at the food bank, invited us to come back and work in the warehouse again in January, as they will have received so many donations that they won’t be able to get the fresh or perishable food out to those in need quickly enough!
