Sunday is Mother's Day – in Canda that is. It's celebrated on different days in other parts of the world, which means to avoid confusion, it would be best if we just all agreed every day should be Mother's Day.
We've had some very interesting stories this week about Mother's Day. Whether you're a mother, about to become one or, like me, if you're remembering your mom when she's no longer here, please take the time to enjoy these wonderful reads.
Have a great weekend and we'll be back in your Inbox on Monday.
