We’ll be celebrating Mother’s Day and our son’s birthday this weekend. It will be a full weekend of life celebrations, including a visit to Connecticut to see my mother-in-law.
I hope that you have a wonderful weekend with those you love.

- Goodness: Looking for a gift for your Mom, who needs nothing (except a visit from you)? Give a donation in her name to the International Rescue Committee and airbnb will match your donation (until midnight on May 13, 2018).
A $58 donation provides the tuition, books and other supplies a girl needs to attend school for a year. If you send one girl to school, airbnb sends another girl to school. What a wonderful gift for everyone!
