I have the same feeling about Easter baskets that I do about Christmas stockings: No random plastic junk that they're going to throw out in a few days! I try to put in things that they will really use or play with.
They get one small toy each plus a book, a pair of PJs, a toothbrush, an activity book, and an accessory.
Easter certainly snuck up on me this year as I'm currently running around town buying last minute basket-stuffers. If you haven't yet planned out what you're making for the holiday, check out some of my Easter-approved recipes from the cutest Easter grazing board to one of my all time favorite spring side dishes, green goddess basil couscous!
I'm not usually one on decorating for holidays outside of Christmas but Amalia LOVES it and begs me every year to decorate for each and every holiday. So I have started to go for it... but only with decor I love. Nothing too cheesy, and it has to go with the style of our home: colorful, fun, and clean!
After approximately 256 days of snow (okay fine, it was only a few weeks but you get the point) it finally feels like spring is around the corner. The sun is shining, the snow is disappearing, and I swear I feel like a new person. Soon the puffy winter coats and snow boots will be put away, and I'll get to pull out the lightweight layers, jeans, and tops I live in during these warmer transitional months.
