Easter for Eighty!

Super Easy DIY Easter Decorations

Last year Modette received her baby blessing on Easter Sunday so we hosted all our family and friends for dinner and an egg hunt. My husband and I both come from big families and our gathering of just close family and friends amounted to a whopping 80 people! That’s a pretty big shindig to host…

Last year I ordered my boys Easter ties that didn’t arrive in time to wear to church on Easter Sunday. I was desperate for a quick solution, as I wanted them to have a perfectly complete springy outfit! So, in a moment of Superdom, as we were rushing to get ready, I threw together a…

You’ve probably noticed by now that most of our printables come with some sort of story — like yesterday my boys insisted on a bunny cameo banner, the bunny cameo door decoration was because Bettijo wanted something springy for her door… Well, my friends, today’s printable is no different. I’m always on the search for…

Bunny Banner Printable

After my boys saw the Bunny Cameo I designed for Bettijo’s front door, they insisted on a bunny banner for our house. Don’t get me wrong, I love seasonal and holiday banners—but Bettijo and I get a little nervous we offer too many banners… What do you think? Are you burnt out on printable banners,…

Bunny Greetings!

When Bettijo mentioned she needed something Easter-ish for her front door, we wanted to create something fresh and simple. Since we didn’t want something floral or egg-y, we decided a bunny silhouette was the route to go—and our Easter Bunny Cameo was born. Being a Mom to boys, it’s not often I get to decorate…

Sisters and Dandelions Scrapbook Page

Word on the street is May is National Scrapbooking Month. It’s been a while since I broke out my scrapbooking stuff and actually made a page — guess I’ve been a little busy with this. To inspire me to get going again, I was flipping through our family scrapbook and re-discovered this page from a…

We Love Chicks!

My boys love fuzzy yellow chicks. I partially blame this sudden chick obsession on Liam’s preschool—his class is currently helping chicks hatch. (How cool is that?!?!) Last week when we decorated for Easter Liam and Harrison requested more chicks. We did pick up a fuzzy chick from Pier1, yet it just wasn’t enough for them….

My youngest daughter’s birthday always falls right before Easter and this year we had to combine her birthday with colorings eggs. Luckily little Piper is borderline obsessed with the Hannah Montana movie, so I used it as a theme to work the eggs into her birthday festivities — along with BBQ sandwiches, karaoke and “Pink…
