A SURPRISE IS A GIFT OF LOVE:
A good way to break up the day-to-day routine is for a housewife to plan a surprise for the family she loves with something they love. A surprise doesn’t have to cost a lot of money and it doesn’t have to be extravagant. Trying a new recipe or making a favorite dinner, or dessert, for her husband and other family members is a simple, and tasty, surprise gift that can be made with love any day of the week.
