Summary: I've missed you, friends! When you start a new venture, like this podcast, you are constantly assessing and reassessing every decision you make. When I first started the show, I knew that I wanted to bring you a new episode every week featuring a different mom sharing their story. But very early on I realized that I wanted a chance to talk to you too... however, I didn't necessarily know if you wanted to hear from me. It's all trial and error. While the Friday episodes generally seemed to go over well, the uncertainty won over and I decided to do just one Friday episode a month where I featured an Extraordinary Mom of the Month Award recipient and a few favorite things. I'm still wavering on if that's how things will continue around here, but I'd love to hear from you and know if you miss the Friday episodes and want them back on a weekly basis. Let me know!!!! You guys... I LOVE hearing about all the extraordinary moms you know, so thank you if you submitted a name for this month's Extraordinary Mom of the Month Award, and our winner for March is..... Sherrie Burton. Sherrie is a Navy wife, mom of three boys, and her friend Brooke who nominated her says this of Sherrie, "She doesn't show up at your house with a loaf of bread when you need help- she shows up with a bucket to scrub your floors or car seats to whisk away your kids to the park. You will be happy you had the chance to know her even if it was only briefly." Wow! You can hear more from her on today's episode. <a href="http://extraordinarymomspodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/IMG_3026.jpg"></a> Now for my favorites... I have some good ones today friends: The Great British Baking Show on Netflix. Now, lest you think I am one of those people that love British television... I am not. I like Downton Abbey, but that's about as deep as I get into that genre of entertainment. PBS has done it again and has produced a fabulous series (that sadly only has one season), based around a baking competition. I like cooking shows in general, but there is something about this one that is so endearing. First, the accents are to die for. Second, their baking challenges are so complex and impressive. Third, the variety of competitors makes this show! You have a construction worker, an 18-year-old girl, a grandmother, etc... These are not professional bakers. They are real people with a deep baking talent. And the hosts are so funny. My personal favorites are Norman and Martha. Let me know what you think. I really enjoyed it and teared up on the final episode... I'm weak. What am I reading lately? Thanks for asking. I'm reading, "Big Magic", by Elizabeth Gilbert. I'm sure you've already heard about this book but I give it my full recommendation. It is such a pleasant read, as she discusses how we are all creative beings and it is our duty to share whatever it is that is within us, with the world. When we let fear talk us out of creating or sharing our talents and passions, we are doing a disservice to the world and to ourselves. I'm about 3/4 of the way through and I never want the book to end. Check it out! Rach Talk. If you aren't already familiar with Rachel Hollis (of The<a href="http://www.thechicsite.com"> Chic Site</a>)... get familiar. I heard her on another podcast and instantly fell in love with her spunk, can-do attitude, and style. You can follow her on Instagram <a href="http://www.instagram.com/msrachelhollis/">here </a>and you can also watch these videos she puts together on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-YECkFUE10">YouTube called Rach Talk</a>. Every week she just chats about random stuff, but each video is hilarious and so well edited. It just makes me smile and I know you'll love these. She also wrote some books that are a fun read as well. I would liken her book "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Party-Girl-Girls-Rachel-Hollis/dp/1477820663/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1458658628&sr=1-1&keywords=party+girl">Party Girl</a>" to "The Devil ...
