Mothers' Day Book

Hello Everyone,

This is a quick post about a woman I "met" during the One World One Heart event this year. Her name is Barbara, http://blog.barbaracagle.com, and she has written a book about her Mom. The book is called 16 X Mom (in reference to her mother having 16 children - WOW). Her blog is fun to read and she looks like it would be a lot of fun to hang out with her.

You can check out her blog and enter for a chance to win her book for Mother's Day - but hurry, time is running out. Best wishes!

Enjoy!
Antonella :-)
