Happy Friday! This weekend brings us to Mother’s Day. If you are fortunate enough to still have you Mom, take a few minutes to talk to her and thank her for all she has done for you. If you no longer have her, take a few minutes to reflect on what she has meant to your life. Let’s kick off the weekend by reflecting on a few things that some famous Moms might have said.
Enjoy!
