Easter Decor & Fun

So I totally don't feel bad posting my Easter recap late, considering the fact that Easter is always in April soooooooo, lol. Easter was so much fun. Between decorating, Easter treats, making baskets and Easter egg hunts I don't know were to start. But let me attempt.......First I decorated of course :)

 

 

 

Then I made Easter treats for Croix's daycare friends...

 

 

THEN I made Croix's Easter basket and prepared our eggs for our Easter hunt...

 

I put stickers, crackers and a few pieces of candy (mostly for myself, lol) in the eggs and then I put alphabet letters on them and had our little own alphabet egg hunt. When we finished finding all the eggs I planted around the house we put them in order and sang the alphabet song :)

 

Croix's Easter Basket:

Bunny Ears, Elmo Potty Coloring book, 8 Jumbo Crayons, Cars Keys, Bunny Cookie, Mr. Froggy and an Iron Man glow stick.

 

 

THEEEEENNNN Croix put on his Easter outfit and we hit up the town for our other Easter egg hunts.

 

I believe this about sums it all up, lol! Extremely eventful day.

 

 

Happy Belated Easter XOXO,

 

 

 

 

 

Valentine's Day Decor

Ok......don't kill me I waaaayy late with this post, but I had to post it. I recently added working out to my already hectic schedule and literally pass out even faster, lol. I wanted to share my holiday decor with you guys. I switched up my gallery wall a bit and added a few new pieces. I love it, I think I may add a few more things but I have to be inspired.

Valentine's Day was great! I took Croix out on a a date to this really good Mexican restaurant, I made homemade heart donuts for my co-workers and Croix made the cutest card at daycare. What can I say I'm a lucky mama :)

Here is old layout

I made this Valentine's Mailbox, so we can make Valentine's and "send" them to each other, lol! :)

This is my Thankful Tree. I wrote down all the things that I am thankful for and glued them on my branches.

 

 

 

Of course Croix is at the very TOP of my tree :)

 

 

 

This candle made my whole house smell like Thanksgiving. LOVE this candle!

 

 

 

Topped it all off with our Thanksgiving/Fall holiday door wreath.

 

 

 

Now I'm preparing for my Winter Wonderland / Santa's Village theme!

Happy Halloween Decor

Happy Halloween people! Very grateful because it almost wasn't a very happy anything. Hurricane Sandy came for a little visit and really did some damage. Luckily Croix and I are safe and no real damage was done. However, New York and New Jersey weren't so lucky. My prayers go out to all that are suffering from the storm.

On a lighter note, just wanted to share with you my Halloween Decor for our house. Its been up all month, and yes I'm just know posting it, forgive me :)

Before

 

annnndddd After

 

 

I made these centerpieces with some branches I collected from outside and paired them with these glitter swirl sticks I picked up at Michaels. It was a huge bundle for like $3. Then I filled it with that nasty candy corn, lol. I can't stand to eat it, but it sure looks pretty in my vase. I also got some halloween lights and wrapped them around the self made mantle, patio door and additional living room window.

 

 

This is our door wreath. I decorate it differently for the seasons and holidays.

 

Can't wait to take Croix Trick or Treating today. He is going to look so cute in his costume. More pictures to come later ;)
