Easter Basket Ideas for Little and Big Kids

March 28, 2022

Growing up, my mom would always put a fresh set of tights in our Easter baskets, along with some candy–chocolate for my sisters and fruity candy for me since I never liked chocolate. All these years later and it still feels special and that's what I hope our holidays and traditions feel like to our girls. We try to keep candy to a minimum (easier said than done), and just get a few simple, adorable things to put in their baskets, along with a new Easter dress. We'll be celebrating our first Easter in this house and I can't help but think back on last year's Easter dinner in our dining room. This year we have a lovely new kitchen to host in, and we're planning on a pot luck with my sisters and some friends here. We'll miss many, but also be with so many we love and that feels so special to us.

  2. We got taco, hat, … at Christmas based on your gift guides. We’ve had a lot of fun with it. Math phd dad who is usually so good at board games is seriously bad at this game - it’s hilarious

My Formula for When to Paint the Ceilings a Color and When Not To

Here's something you don't need me to tell you, but I'm telling you anyway: You get to choose whether you want to paint your ceiling or not! But, still, almost daily, I get asked "Why don't you paint that ceiling the color of the walls?" If you've never tried painting a ceiling and you're considering […]

Thai-Inspired Basil Beef Stir Fry

I'm back at it today with the Asian-inspired flavors. I always seem to lean that way in my recipes, but why would I use less flavor when I can fill my kitchen with the scent of ginger, garlic, and chilies?! Thai Basil Beef is one of my all-time favorite things to order for takeout. What […]
