Great Weekend Ahead...

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend. Mine was spent in beautiful Virginia (where it didn't rain) for my nephew's baptism and fun family time. Looking forward to getting back into the normal routine this week, though...preschool has surely been missed!!

Looking ahead to next weekend, there are 2 WONDERFUL events that you definitely shouldn't miss...

On Saturday, Myers Park Methodist Church hosts their 2014 Children's Circle Spring Carnival. Such a fun event for the whole family with rides, games, food and more. Be sure not to miss the silent auction featuring "must-have" items for the family.

On Sunday, head out to the US National Whitewater Center for the 10th Annual KinderMourn Hope Floats Duck Race. Adopt your ducks today, and enjoy a lovely Sunday afternoon with the family. Hoping you have a wonderful week!!

Blessings,
The Buzz
