Hi, Everyone! I hope all of you who are moms had a wonderful Mother's Day! I sure did. I had an excellent day with Mark and all the kids. Eric was home from college for the weekend. His junior year of college just ended, but he's going back to Washington, DC to take some summer classes and get ready to take the LSAT, which is the law test you take before applying to law schools. He's hoping to go to law school after he graduates from college next year. I always knew he would make a good lawyer, because he used to argue with me until I didn't remember what we were arguing about! He used to be a debater in high school, so it's right up his alley!

The weekend was also special, because Cory went to his first prom! He's a junior in high school, and he really hasn't even dated at all, so it was his first date! Of course, I cried when I saw him all dressed up in his tuxedo, and then I followed him to his date's house (with his permission) to take pictures before they went off to the school for prom. It's exciting to see our kids grow up, but it's also bittersweet, because I think "where did my little boy go?" I feel like he changed from a boy to a man over the last year, and you wonder where has the time gone? But he had a great time...I stayed home and prayed, and he actually was home by l0:30pm! That made me sleep better that night!

My kids were all so sweet on Mother's Day and wrote such nice things in their cards that it makes all the stress and hard work worth it that comes with having children. The joys outweigh the work! Mark was also very sweet in giving me my favorite flower, roses. He's always been a 'flower giver' throughout our marriage...it can't hurt! Anyway, I hope your day was wonderful, too, in whatever way your family remembered you.

Speaking of children, this Wednesday morning in My Time with Mary Beth, we will be talking about Time for Spring Cleaning with a couple of great ideas. We will also be talking about Time for Summer. Is it getting hot in your part of the country? We've had a couple of 'heat waves' come through Philly in the last month followed by cold spells, so the weather has been up and down, but I have a great fan to show you to cool you off!

Then we will talk about Time for Wellness, which will include our Today's Special Value. It will be from the "Biggest Loser", so if you watch that show, this will interest you as well as those of you who have never seen the show.

So I hope you have you watching with me Wednesday morning at 9am, and have a terrific week!

Blessings to you,
Mary Beth
