Eggs

Check out these blinged (that's a real word I swear) out eggs over at the Crafty Cupboard!! My girls would love to make these.

I read this poem on one of my favorite blogs, Grace Violet.
It speaks a lot to me because I constantly am striving to live in the moment and find joy right now like my sweet mom always tells me. This was a great reminder today!

It was Spring, but it was Summer I wanted:

The warm days and the great outdoors.

It was Summer, but it was Fall I wanted:

The colorful leaves and the cool, dry air.

It was Fall, but it was Winter I wanted:

The beautiful snow and the joy of the holiday season.

It was Winter, but it was Spring I wanted:

The warmth and blossoming of nature.

I was a child, and it was adulthood I wanted:

The freedom and the respect.

I was 20, but it was 30 I wanted:

To be mature and sophisticated.

I was middle-aged, but it was 20 I wanted:

The youth and the free spirit.

I was retired, but it was middle-aged I wanted:

The presence of mind without limitations.

My life was over,

and I never got what I wanted.

Easter Printables

We'll be coloring some of these today for our Easter craft to go with our Easter Countdown.

Play Kitchen Re-do

Before-I had already sanded off the lovely sunflowers.

After-Painted pink and spray painted the sink and knobs satin nickel. If found circle cutouts at the craft store and spray painted them black and glued them on for burners. I won't tell you how long it took me from start to finish (I like to procrastinate) but I'm glad it's done and the girls are excited to have their "new" kitchen back.

PEEPS!

I have to make these for my fave peeps!!

Felt peeps garland over at Lipstick and Laundry

Peeps t-shirt -looks pretty easy and really cute!

Peeps S'mores over at SistersStuff. They are some creative sistas!

I'm not a huge PEEPS fan but these crafts look like fun!

Carrot Snacks and Another Countdown

Super cute carrot snacks over at sistersstuff. I am definately making these!

This countdown is great too and incorporates the spiritual meaning of Easter. This would be a great one to combine with the previous post.

Easter Countdown!

Another cute idea from the blog 1825

This is a really cute idea for those of us who love countdowns. Or for those of us whose kids won't stop asking us "when is Easter gonna be here"?
