Okay, so our Mother’s Day show really doesn’t have any songs about being a mother, having a wrecked house or breastfeeding…  but it does have some fun songs about magic, fish and the Down Under – and we’ve even featured a video about a super cool pink whale! I ask you, what more could a mom want?  You say breakfast-in-bed?  Well, we can’t deliver that, but for the foodie mom we’ve included a story by Mem Fox that explores international culinary delights, and songs about magic toast, spiders in your breakfast and coffee with starfish. Happy Mother’s Day!
