Now that my charity event is finished for another year, and Mother’s Day is around the corner, the only thing I could think of doing to celebrate is R-E-L-A-X. I’m sure a lot of mamas feel the same way. I just love enjoying the day with my boys and husband…

I recently had a speaking engagement at a club I co-organize called Home Essentials.
