Easter is really sneaking up on me this year. Looking at all of your planning has inspired me to get busy!

And I'm glad that sign was just an April Fool's joke. I would've been so sad to have returned from vacation to find you gone!

So when are you inviting me to your house for dinner? Haha, just playing. :) But seriously, I love the idea of menu planning...I wish I was more consistent about it. It certainly takes the guesswork/stress out of mealtimes, and I'm all about that. Thanks for the reminder...and I hope you won't mind if I borrow a few of your ideas! ;)
