Easter Sunday, 1978
I've been going through piles of my mom's old photographs, and I've discovered that cheesy Polaroids from the 70s bring me a disproportionate amount of joy. Thought I'd share this one from Easter in 1978. I would have been three years old. Note the faux wood panelling, and those stylin' curtains. Also, looking at this photo I just realized, I still have that basket, and have … [Read more...]
Happy Hoppy Easter!
My girls are excitedly looking forward to Easter morning. I love that what my five year old is most looking forward to isn't the chocolates or small toys to be found in her basket, but the fact that, "That bunny is going to hop right in here and hide all of our eggs! And then we get to find them!" For those of you who do the entire giant imaginary rabbit thing... hope you … [Read more...]
Decorating Easter Eggs with Kinder Surprise? #KinderMom

We Found the Easter Bunny
I'm a Kinder Mom Ambassador, and as such I receive bunches of free Kinder Surprise eggs. Some of them naturally made their way into my kids' Easter baskets. I allowed my girls to each pick one out and open it up first thing Easter Morning. Inside Baby-G's egg was an inflatable paper Easter bunny! What are the odds of opening the one of the few rabbit themed items in the entire … [Read more...]
Easter Pics ala Flip
I decided to use our new Flip camera to try and capture Easter this year. I just spent about an hour playing around with the Snapshot Feature, which allows you to turn video footage into stills. The photos turned out a little darker and grainier then I would like. I was surprised how few of the individual frames are actually in focus, when it looks so crisp viewed as a … [Read more...]
What are you putting in your Easter Basket?
April's here and Easter is fast approaching. What are you going to tuck in your little one's basket? My husband grew up with a childhood tradition of receiving a new stuffed rabbit each year in his Easter basket. I love that idea, so we’ve adopted it. This years stuffed rabbit for G-Girl will be this Maileg beauty that I bought and set aside for her. As I've mentioned … [Read more...]
