Has anyone else spent an hour scrolling through Pinterest looking at all the Valentine’s desserts they don’t have available in their kitchen to eat. This has been me the last hour and since I am not baking anything currently I figured I would share my inspo with you so you can both suffer in silence. OR get off our couches and get some of these ingredients to make this Valentine’s day weekend!
I absolutely love a holiday or good theme and my daughter has slowly turned into a mini me and does as well. She truly enjoys the fun of it and I knew I wanted to make her upcoming playdate a little more special with Easter just days away. The first question I usually get asked after school is “what’s for snack time?” so I decided to make their snack area a little more Easter-y and fun and they enjoyed it so much!
I’ve listed where I got the items below but truly most of the things on the table were from the dollar store. You can truly use whatever Easter items you have at home and supplement with some cute Easter paper plates and food holders. My main goal was to create something fun that didn’t take a lot of time and was not expensive. I Used food/snack items that I happen to have on hand at the time and didn’t buy anything fancy like Easter bunny shaped cookies although those would have been adorable! I want to show you that creating something like this does not need to take a lot of time (just a pitstop to the dollar store while you are out) and you can use food you have on hand to create something the kids will enjoy and delight in.
I can’t believe we are officially in April and Easter is truly around the corner! If you are still searching for some gift ideas I’ve rounded up 50 ideas (with links) to hopefully inspire you. Easter Baskets should be fun and do not need to be super fancy or expensive. I focus on things I know my child needs (and I will probably be replacing shortly like clothes, markers, snacks etc) and some activities to help entertain them on those busy days. I’ve rounded up a few categories below of our favourites!
Valentine’s day is filled with love and sweet treats and these chocolate covered Oreos help you take care of 50% of that! And trust me, they do not disappoint!
I feel like Easter is such a fun joyous holiday that does not get the proper recognition it deserves! To start, there is SO much less pressure on this holiday than Christmas thus making it possibly more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong I LOVE love Christmas but I think everyone can admit it’s 50% fun and 50% stress (from the present ideas to the coordination of plans to getting it all done – it can be overwhelming). Everyone has their own Easter traditions but essentially if you get in some egg painting and an Easter egg hunt you are winning. Easter is also set in the Spring time and while I love a snowy white Christmas holiday – I really do need some sunshine when April hits. How can you not be happy with birds chirping, sun shining and tulips blooming. Oh and also, all that Easter really asks for is CHOCOLATE – like come on! What could be better that that!
This year we are celebrating Easter with our little one and I have been thinking about her Easter basket for weeks! I honestly didn’t have anything specific in mind but knew I wanted to fill it up with some fun goodies and I started collecting things at the beginning of the year. My husband has also contributed many items since he also cannot stop himself from buying all the things when it comes to this munchkin (including a Simba stuffed animal larger than this Easter basket!) We definitely make spoiling our daughter a team effort around here!
