Today is a national holiday: Martin Luther King, Jr., Day, and a big inauguration weekend too. It's a quiet day for us, but we did want to give a shout-out for the Day of Service that the Obamas encouraged today. Why? Because though AT is devoted to helping people make their homes beautiful, organized and healthy, we also believe in taking care of our bigger home, whether it's our neighborhood, country or planet.
Even if you can't participate in a neighborhood or city-wide act of service today, we encourage you to think of some way to serve someone close to you. And what better way than through the kitchen? Bake a batch of cookies, invite someone to dinner, stock up your freezer with soups to give away later, or simply make an especially loving dinner for your household.
Have a wonderful day, and check back a little later -- we are still bringing you a few quick posts about the inauguration and food that will go along with it! Read on for more on how we like to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
