Skylar made a crown with a bunny on it at preschool this week.
Complete with cotton ball “hair”.
And she made an Easter Basket Bunny using a milk carton.
The back was filled with plastic eggs containing stickers. And jelly beans!
The frantic search was on. She knew those jelly beans were in there.
Ahh, found one five.
Sweet, sugary bliss.
And smiles.
Watch that green jelly bean saliva about to drip right out. Oh well.
It turned out to be a beautiful afternoon Friday.
I got in a great 3 mile run among the palm trees.
I saw some pretty flowers and plants on my path.
And did some at-home yoga moves and a quickie indoor workout for 20 minutes after my run.
Then I ate plants.
Dressed with Orange Coconut Lemon Pepper Vinaigrette Salad Dressing
And I always eat dessert. I don’t have the photos edited or the recipe typed, but I came up with a new dessert recipe and it involved white chocolate.
And I am not talking about White Chocolate Mango Cookie Dough Bites, although those are always a winner.
I’ve been on a white chocolate kick the past few months and loving it.

I can’t take credit for those recipes; thank this wonderful community and fellow bloggers for their contributions and great grub!
Questions:
1. What are your plans for Easter Sunday if you’re celebrating?
I know the Easter Bunny is going to make a stop here with an Easter Basket for my bunny-crown-wearing lovebug.
And I have to work. But not until later in the day so we get to spend most of the day together, doing fun stuff.
2. Do you like jelly beans?
I love sugar, chocolate, candy, desserts, but jelly beans are a treat I am just not into. Never was. They just taste like crystallized sugar to me and they get stuck in my teeth. I know some people love them, but for me, meh. I’ll save my chew for a chocolate recipe.
Happy Easter! Enjoy your Weekend!
Skylar is so cute! We are doing family stuff tomorrow. I can’t believe you have to work on Easter! Where do you work!?
Skylar is adorable! So she is in preschool now? No more home schooling? I have been thinking more about school and kids lately and I’d love to know what your thoughts were in changing, privately if it’s too much to reveal publicly of course.
Being that I work full time and so does Scott, there is no household I know of who can pull off 100% parent-based care, 100% of the time, with both parents working FT. I work nights, he works days, neither of us sleep, but there are times when we just have to rely on care of others for her. Thus, we have her in a preschool program so that we can work. You could call it childcare but it’s more than that. We do love the spirit of homeschooling but it’s not feasible for us right now, 100%.
Of course! I get it. It takes a village to raise a child for sure.
I <3 Skylar's arts and crafts!
And I like jelly beans…but only the licorice ones!
Awww Skylar looks so happy :)
I actually do not like jelly beans. I am more of a chocolate girl ;-)
Oh goodness…..I used to love Jelly Bellies! I kind of wish I had gotten some vegan Easter candy, as there are so many different types this year! But I didn’t! And I always feel like total bum afterwards, so will stick to my weird-a*ss date, hemp, protein, sunflower seed, green powder, blueberry, flax, etc….creations!!!!!! Not yummy like a vegan Cadbury egg, BUT I won’t regret it for a zillion hours later :)
I don’t like jellybeans either! Yesterday was National Jellybean Day so I was forced to try some due to my celebration of food holidays. I popped a few in my mouth and decided nope, still don’t like ’em! I’m with you on the chocolate boat.
Skylar is such a sweetheart and cutie!!! I remember making crazy bunny projects when I was in grade school. I used to love them… and love showing them off. ;)
I was never a big candy person in general. My dad usually got my Easter candy – jelly beans included!
Skylar is absolutely beautiful and you take such fabulous pictures of her!! God, I wish my parents had a fraction of the lovely photos of me that you have of Skylar, LOL. I probably have less than 100 total spanning my entire childhood, haha.
I’m the same way! I don’t particularly care for jelly beans!! Love sugary and sweets, but jelly beans… Meh. The texture doesn’t feel good on my teeth. I’d rather have chocolate or Twizzlers. :P They taste too much like plain sugar, I’m not crazy about marshmallows either unless they’re roasted and melty. :)
I was thinking about your mango snack balls today! Weird, I know. But they sounded sooo good! Refreshing, even. Maybe I was thirsty… and the first thing I think of is sweet snack balls, LMAO! :roll:
What’s really scary and i was JUST talking to some friends about this yesterday is that we all have sooo many pics of our kids (and life!) now on digital and does anyone ever really print these out and make proofs? No.
So if we were to ever lose the images, they are gone forever…I dont know what to print, make snapshots of, etc etc…from her to our vacay’s to life shots…food for thought….
Mango balls. They are crazy good. You dont even need the mango. Just the dough without mango…it’s like heaven for me :)
Yeah, I think of that all the time! I actually have a photo printer. My grandmother bought it for us, so I print my best pictures and it’s super easy, but I don’t print 99% of them, LOL. You can also put the images on a memory card or flash drive and bring it to Target or Walmart or wherever they develop pics and they will print them into real photos for you. It’s hard to pay for print photos when you can take so many for free, but like you said, if you lose them all, that’s it. I can’t tell you how many times I have transferred image files from one computer to another! I should just print them and be done with them, haha.
Aw Skylar is so cute!! I like trying the weird flavored jellybeans from the Harry Potter merchandise, you know like grass, vomit, popcorn flavor. They’re…interesting.
I have no idea what I’m doing for Easter Sunday. I’m currently at my family’s house, but Sam just found out he has to work tomorrow, so we might be taking off early! We’re doing little Easter baskets for each other and I might talk my mom into hiding some eggs for us:)
And I’m with you on the jelly bean issue. I’d rather eat chocolate or a real dessert.
Nope, JB are not for me
Skylar is so alive and shining…:-). Nice easter to you all!
After the Easter Bunny comes, we are heading to church and then out for Easter brunch. I’m with you on the jelly beans, even as a kid I was never a fan. Bring me the chocolate!!
She is so cute!! I remember Easter and what not when I was that age..it was always so much fun!!
Skylar is adorable!
