Moms agree: Hugs are good for you — The week on APN — April 30 - May 6

Mother's Day seems to have arrived early this year, but we're up and ready for it here on APN. And, as May is also marked for mental health awareness, we're recalling some of the best motherly advice we’ve received: A daily apple may keep the doctor away, but a hug a day keeps all manner of nasties at bay. With the notable increase in hugs of late, we're already starting to feel better. 

The APN crew has got this week's playlist primed for your breakfast-in-bed or backyard barbecue plans. Play on, and remember to give a squish to those you love.
