Easter around the house

Hey Everyone, Happy Thursday, we are on the down side of the work week hill, keep on moving and we will make it! I wanted to share some more Easter décor around our house with you today. When I pulled into the office this morning you can defiantly see the pollen on our black parking lot, spring is here!

I think of all my door hangers this is defiantly the prettiest, the sparkly flowers and pastel colors are perfect for Easter. I also added some yellow ribbons around my lamps.

Its been so windy here every day my door hangers has had a beating! I had some egg garland hung up across the front door but when I came out to take this pic, it had blown away!!

I also updated our upstairs loft dresser with some Easter décor!

This cute spring sign came from the Target dollar spot last year!

This little puzzle came from Oriental Trading and I used one of Coco's toy bunny as décor!

Seeing all the girls Easter Bunny pics thru the years if one of my favorite things, I love all of them! The Welcome Spring sign came from Target and the 3 chicks came from Home Goods a few years ago!

And I took this pic the other night and thought to myself, wow Nicole looks a lot older!! But still just as cute XOXO



Easter Tablescape

Yesterday I put together my to buy list for Easter this weekend, I plan on making 2 yummy desserts and enjoying some yummy food, what you are your favorite Easter dishes? I love ham, any kind of casserole, rolls, brown rice and dessert! I wanted to share my Easter table scape with you today, lets HOP to it!

These cute Bunny chair covers came from Lakeside Collection and the plaid table cloth came from The Pioneer Woman's Walmart collection.

I pulled out my Aunt Sarah's Noratake china for this pic, is so pretty and very spring like!

Another look at these cute bunny covers, they also make Christmas ones of course!

I got this cross from Walmart for $10, I think its so pretty and affordable!!

On our dining room cabinet I hung this pastel egg wreath from Walmart and the older monogrammed bunny!



Avery's 9th Birthday

Our sweet niece Avery celebrated her 9th Birthday this Saturday!!

It was at a roller skating ring, how long has it been since I have been to one of those?! Flashback to elementary school!!

Here is the birthday girl!!!

Avery is such a sweet and smart girl and she is an awesome big cousin!!

Taylor even brought her own skates!! Look at those little legs in those big skates!!

Cousin love XOXO

Running out of time?!

I wanted to share this beautiful wall clock my Mom gave me for my birthday, it came from Etsy and she had it monogrammed!

Its big and so pretty, we love it!

I also added some pink and fuchsia tulips to my little coffee station along with my iced coffee recipe, thank goodness for caffeine, right?!



Snack Tray & Easter Drink Station

Happy Monday everyone! Hope your day is starting off good, I had a little delay when my car took a while to crank this morning, I think its because it did not run all day Sunday, or maybe it just didn't want to go to work, which I understand!

But it started running and I wasn't too late! Can you believe the Easter Bunny arrives in less then a week, I have been finishing up my Easter décor and I wanted to share my drink station today, but first a great snack cart idea I saw from a friend!

My friend Mary Beth has 5 young boys she packs lunch for and often gets asked how she does it, along with all the other things that go along with FIVE kids! She shared a pic of her snack tray and I thought, I need to be doing this!

I had this old cart in our bathroom closed, it was a chippy white (but not the farmhouse cute type!). I spray painted it with some bronze paint I had in the garage and picked up a bunch of yummy snacks from Walmart...

Here is the after! Nothing too fancy but the perfect height for Nicole and Taylor to reach for any snack they are hungry for, and Hubby too! That Pirate's Booty is SOOOO good! Pick some up if you never had it before!!

To me Easter is all about bright and pastel colors and lots of bunny's! I added this blue runner and changed my Happy Everything attachment to a cute chevron bunny.

The beautiful cross hanging on the light came from my sweet cousin Mindy for my birthday and the bunny basket is Taylor's from Gigi!

I am not a huge fan of Peeps, but I love decorating with them, they are so bright and colorful! I picked these yummy muffins up from the Walmart Bakery, very good!

I drew a new sign on my chalkboard and my beautiful butterfly mugs were a wedding gift from Lenox, so spring like!

Saturday night Hubby and I got to enjoy a fun date night at the Fox to see comedian Eddie B!

My Aunt Karen and Uncle David were so sweet to get the tickets for us, Karen is a teacher along with Hubby, it was one of the best live shows I have seen. The music was pumping, we were all dancing around, Eddie was hilarious and some great special guests!!

Along with David and Karen, Omma was also there!!

She volunteers at The Fox and is a former 2nd grade teacher herself, she loves it and was very helpful, we had AWESOME seats!!! And a BIG thanks to my sweet friend Katie for watching the girls while we were out, she is great and the girls love her!!!



Simple Joys

Happy Friday Friends, we almost made it to the weekend, keep going you are almost there!

I wanted to share some of this weeks simple joys, they made me smile and I hope you too!

Who doesn't love a nice warm bath, it always makes things better! Coco loves bath time, she will usually get right in when I tell her its time!

You know I love anything matching for the girls to wear, these tops came from Carters, so cute!!

Our local Chick Fil A had Paw Patrol Family night and Taylor was on cloud 9! Here she is giving Marshall a big home!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

Ice cream break after all that dancing!

My beautiful baby!

Taylor playing in the home center at church!

She was such a great helper, she sprayed down all the tables for me before we left!

Pretty in pink for church!

Hope your weekend is as relaxing as Nicole story time!!



Easter Bunny

We are HOPING right from St. Patrick's Day to Easter today on the blog...

hop, did you catch that?!

I took the girls to see The Easter Bunny Sunday at North Point Mall, 50 % of my children loved him, the other 50% hated it, so you know there are some good pics!

Their beautiful dresses where made by Catherine at The Monkey and The Weasel, she always knocks it out of the park!

Love the soft pastel colors!

As you can see, Nicole was NOT a fan of the Easter Bunny but Taylor LOVED him!!

She told him all the things she wanted!!

After seeing the Easter Bunny we took a train ride around the mall, so much fun!

Choo Choo!

Checking out the mall!

So much fun!

After all the fun we stopped by The Great American Cookie Company for 3 HUGE chocolate chip cookies, treats from the mall are always so good!!

Let the Easter Celebrations begin!!

St. Patrick's Day

If you live in the southeast like me you may have had a long night with the storms that came thru, I hope everything is ok at your home XOXO

I wanted to share all the fun we had on St Patrick's Day Saturday!

But first, Happy Spring!!

We started the day off with an all green breakfast!

Green pancakes, green apples and mint green Oreos!

Our little leprechaun!

Cute clovers from Oriental Trading

After breakfast we went to cheer on Taylor at her soccer game!

Go Team, we are so proud of you all!!

We came home and made a Irish lunch!

Rye break, corned beef, Swiss and a St Patty's cookie!

For dinner I made a yummy Shepard's Pie, its so easy, just a layer of meat and gravy, peas and carrots, mashed potatoes then some cheese!!

My parents, brother and Aunt and Uncle were in Savannah enjoying the biggest St Patrick's Day party, I know they had a great time!

My parents also celebrated their 39 wedding anniversary, go Mom and Dad!!
