Menu 2016: April 4-May 1

Life continues to be crazy busy, but at least we only have 40 days of school left. April is already one of my favorite months, but I am looking forward to this April even more. Why? The weather is starting to warm up. I get to escape to a ladies retreat two weekends in a row, and one of them is with my mom and sisters (yes, my hubby spoils me). It's my birthday this month, which means my hubby is taking me for a special lunch and to see Rachmaninov's Third Concerto. Last of all, we get to visit with friends.
