Easter Basket Ideas- Gift Ideas Your Kids Will Love

March 21, 2021

easter basket ideas for kids

Easter is just around the corner. One of the highlights of Easter for my family is the Easter egg hunt which we have done every year since they were little. In recent years, we have modified our traditions slightly. Instead of the traditional egg scavenger hunt with candy filled eggs or Easter bunnies, we allow them to hunt for clues that will lead them to their special Easter gift basket. As a general rule, I try to limit the amount of candy that they consume. Although the gift baskets may have ... READ MORE »

Reflections on 2020 and Goals for 2021

January 13, 2021

Hi Friends, With 2020 behind us, I thought it will be a great opportunity for me to assess where I was a year ago and talk about 2021 aspirations. I am not one to set resolutions for the New Year, however it is has always been important for me to write down my goals for the year and plan towards them. I usually have a focus word for each year and with the word comes 4-5 goals that I work towards during the year. My focus word for 2020 was REDISCOVER. Rediscovery meant revisiting things ...

TBT: I haven’t tackled any big projects in a whi TBT: I haven’t tackled any big projects in a while due to life in general but hoping to change that in the next few weeks. As a full time working mom doing virtual school, it is sometimes hard to do it all even with the best intentions. One of the projects I would love to work on is an accent wall in this room and give it a mini refresh. There are so many different options I have looked at including wall paper..stay tuned for updates on projects 🤞🏽

FAUX VS REAL: When it comes to plants, I like to d FAUX VS REAL: When it comes to plants, I like to do a mixture of faux and real to give a bit of balance. What do you prefer? Faux vs real and can you tell the difference. 

My mom is an avid gardener and growing up we had plants everywhere for nourishment and decor. I never really learned the skill from then. This year, I had a goal of starting a garden but after the snowstorm and life getting busy, I wasn’t sure it will be a realistic one. I think I’m more scared of failing at it 😬. So I decided to scrap it but I talked to some friends the other day and they suggested it could be a good stress reliever. Catch me in stories today as I talk about my plans. 

Do you own a garden or raise plants?
