What I learned this week:  Well this week was more of a reflection about my alumni weekend getting together with people from my college acappella group and then just how music and singing really is such a great ice breaker.  

Then just  a few pieces of advice for Mother's day.  

“There’s no way to be a perfect mother and a million ways to be a good one.” – Jill Churchill

If you want the day to go a certain way - make sure to make it known to you family.  Communicate now so that you can share with them some of your expectations.  

And then May in general is crazy.  Things we have lined up are prom, concerts, graduation, a temple open house end of the year activities and getting my son ready to head out on his mission.  This next few weeks are going to be full for sure.   

I will list the Mother's day quotes that I shared from today's episode.
