Hey, moms, welcome to this episode of the Dorenda Wilson podcast. I'm Dorenda, wife to one,

happy searching. Also, I am going to be speaking at several conferences this year, and it is

The first conference I'm going to be at is coming up really, really soon. It's May 2nd to

the 4th. It's teach them diligently in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. I've actually never been there before, so I'm really excited to go.
