Moms: Share Your Favorite Mother's Day Memories

Was your Mother's Day an afternoon of bliss, a day peppered with thoughtful actions, or a weekend of memorable moments that have now become family stories to be shared for decades to come?

OK, Moms, how did your weekend go?

shared with us a video of their Mother's Day Brunch, filmed and edited by their very own Liz Falconer, in the Curriculum and Technology Department. Click on the image to the right to play the video.

Nearly two dozen culinary students at Renton Technical College gave up their Sunday to cater to Renton's mothers and their families. More than 650 people attended this year's event, which also earned the Renton Patch Reader's Choice winner for best Mother's Day Brunch.

Tell us how your weekend went. Were you pampered, treated to a special brunch and recognized for all your motherly selflessness, or did you keep up the normal duties with a few extra perks?

Share your memories with us and we'll award one lucky mom with a $15 Starbucks card.

Yeah, just noticing that it's not advertised ANYWHERE on City of Renton pages for Sunday. I, too,Read More find it difficult to get to the Piazza on Tues nights by 6pm because of my work schedule. Would be REALLY helpful if the CoR mentioned on the official Renton Farmer's Market that there will be no Sunday market this year instead of making people hunt down the info (or lack thereof) :-( I'll opt to head out the Maple Valley FM on Sat's instead. A bit of a drive but they always have good eats and offerings! Just wish they had more than 1 vendor offering farm-fresh, free-range eggs <sigh> as the vendor sells out sooo quickly!

When we partnered with the City of Renton to launch our Farmer’s Market in 2011 we were veryRead More excited to provide a convenient place for the community, our staff, patients and their families to find nutritious natural foods. Our decision to close the VMC market after two seasons was not an easy one to make, and it was purely a financial decision. The market was more expensive to host than we anticipated, and we didn’t draw the crowds we expected. We apologize for any inconvenience. If you can’t make the Renton Farmer’s Market on Tuesdays, here are some other options with weekend and later hours: Maple Valley Farmers Market: 25700 Maple Valley Black Diamond Hwy (Rock Creek Elementary School); Saturday, 9:00am - 2:00pm; Jun 15 - Oct 05; www.maplevalleyfarmersmarket.org. Auburn International Farmers Market: Auburn Station Plaza, 23 A Street SW; Sunday, 10:00am -3:00pm; Jun 09 - Sep 22; www.auburnfarmersmarket.org. Des Moines Waterfront Farmers Market: 22307 Dock St; Saturday, 10:00am - 2:00pm’ Jun 01 - Oct 26; www.DMFM.org. North Bend Farmers Market: Si View Park; Thursday, 4:00pm - 8:00pm; Jun 13 - Sep 12; September market hours: 3:30-7:30pm; www.siviewpark.org/farmers-market.phtml.

TORRENS LANDSCAPING COMPANY ~ home of the $35.00 MOW

What a fantastic company! Arrived promptly (right on-time), mowed my (front) lawn for only $35.00Read More and did a fantastic job of weed eating for just $20.00 more. Had time to take my family hiking, and when we returned, I was simply impressed at the job TORRENS LANDSCAPING COMPANY had done! My family highly recommends this Renton based company. The most economical and best job ever done on my lawn.

Went out of town for (4) four weeks and hired Torrens Landscaping Company to take care of my lawnRead More while my family was on vacation. When we returned, our neighbors commented that our lawn had never looked better. Torrens Landscaping came each week for only $35.00 and mowed the front yard. We have continued to use this company because it does save time and wear & tear on my own lawn mower. Just can’t beat the price and the service this company provides!
