Somehow here we are at the start of the week before EASTER. Not sure how that happened you guys, I still haven’t Marie Kondo’d my house and now it will be Christmas again before I have even had a chance to begin!

Whatever you have planned: going away for the long weekend, visiting friends or family or staying home and getting some stuff done around the house, I hope that you have a chance to sit and relax and enjoy this time with people that you love. We will be home, as we are every Easter with a house full of family and cousins and celebrating Miss Dottie’s 2nd birthday which falls on Easter Sunday this year!
