Happy weekend, friends! My sister and her two boys are visiting from Ithaca and we have a busy, fun week ahead. Today I am hosting a pre-Easter brunch for ten at my house (I made Martha’s ham & cheese strata and Smitten Kitchen’s strawberry cake last night to make things easier this morning!). Tomorrow it’s Easter at my parents. Plus a slew of dinners throughout the week. It’s so nice to have everyone together. PS – I gave my Shopbop hearts a big update yesterday!

The other day the answer was “ body parts with a y on the end” Seriously? Those aren’t real words, completely unfair. Of course once you solve three the last column is a throwaway, but come on be reasonable! I’m hoping like crossword puzzle it s a good way to stretch my brain.
