Good morning everyone!  Are you enjoying this spring and starting to look forward to the warmer days of summer yet?  Remember, April showers bring May flower – and I LOVE flowers!!  If our cats didn’t try to eat them every time I had any in the house, my hubby would be able to give them to me more often! There’s something else that I love though, and that’s spending time with my sister and my friends.  A girl’s night together always lifts my spirits and relaxes me letting me de-stress.  Have you plan a girls’ night lately?  Are you feeling like there’s just no time, or don’t know what to try to plan?  It doesn’t always have to be something elaborate to still be a fun time with friends.
