WAIT! This is EASTER WEEKEND! No slowing down here!!!
We are gearing up for quite a crazy busy weekend at the HOME GIRL Household!!!
Friday is Good Friday, and my in-laws will be heading into town to spend Easter Weekend with us. Friday night we'll head over to church for the Good Friday service!
Saturday is our "GOTCHA DAY"! The one year anniversary of when we adopted our kids! Soooo, we want to make that day very special! Presents, some memorable and fun activity, etc. Plus LOTS of preparations because on EASTER Sunday, we will be heading to a special outdoor Easter Service with our church, which is going to be a little farther than normal for us...and very early in the morning! Then we'll rush home and finish up preparations for a HUGE Easter Dinner for 20 people!!! WOW! I'm praying NOW that I'll be able to get it all done in time!
But I'm also so excited at the same time to celebrate this great upcoming weekend with people I love!
I'm also super excited about this week's FESTIVE FRIDAY FIESTA!!! Last week we had some really neat posts!!! Again, picking Features was extra hard, but I was able to narrow them down to a few great features!
Sarah from Hyacinths For the Soul put together this lovely colorful table for her Garden Club! I LOVE these bright colors and beautiful details!
Perfect for this time of year! Check out her post for lots more of the lovely details of this luncheon!

Christine from "Christine's Home and Travel Adventures" shared a BEAUTIFUL tour of her gardens and backyard area!" It was so beautiful!
I had a hard time not being envious of her gorgeous home, pool and flower gardens! Just fabulous!!!

Alexis from "Running Away? I'll Help You Pack" came up with some really creative ideas when her kids were invited to a "Mad Hatter Tea Party"!
I love these crazy clock suitcases she made for the occasion! She posted several great recipes and crafts for this party! So fun!!!

Kathleen from "Cuisine Kathleen" shared an absolutely LOVELY Hydrangea Tablescape this week!
I love the textures she uses, her beautiful plates and those gorgeous Hydrangeas!!!

And the post with the most views this week was Jo May from "LoblollyLane" who shared her delicious looking Sweet Peach Cake she made after watching the Food Network!!
This looks super yummy!!! I've always wanted to go into the kitchen right after a cooking show and make the very thing I just saw! You can even see the yummy chunks of peaches in there.....Deeeeelish!
