Happy Mother’s Day! Today I not only get to celebrate mother’s day with my sweet daughters, but we are also with my own mother and my mother’s mother. This never happens. It makes me happy.
And, since it’s Mother’s Day, I’m giving myself the gift of not planning a menu. Okay, I can’t totally give up on it…but I am going to take it easy on myself since I AM on vacation and all. And maybe I’ll even let some of you slack off, too…but you better believe I’ll get back on you next week to get planning again!
