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.

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!
Oh I used to love making arts and crafts stuff at school. So much fun and so messy!
Skylar has the brightest smile! (Just like her mama!) She’s adorable!
We were planning on doing an Easter Egg Hunt outdoors but it’s been stormy so we might put it off a day, or try indoors later if it doesn’t clear up. ALSO, I’m on the mend from getting my wisdom teeth out Friday. I cannot wait to start making (non-mushy) food, but for now, it’s mainly smoothies, applesauce, yogurt, and green juice! (and I did have a little ice cream!!) I am enjoying the extra tlc from my hubby and little one though! THey have been super sweet. ;)
Oh and Jelly Beans—do not like the off brand ones, but the starbursts jelly beans and jelly bellys are really good! We actually didn’t buy any this year though.
Skylar’s beautiful smile never fails to put a smile on my face! Love the crown too.
Happy Easter!
Aww, you’re too sweet, Angela!
Hope you’re feeling better and on the mend. Happy Easter to you too :)
Skylar is just too adorable! You really have one cute daughter :) (specially the ‘found five’ pic).
I don’t like jellybeans either, I think they have a weird taste and structure.
Can’t get over how cute Skylar is!! And I’ve always hated jelly beans… give me chocolate!!
Love the kids crafts :). And I hope the bunny is good to your baby!! We’re having family over for Easter dinner. Other than that, hopefully getting some sleep and sun in- its been a CRAZY weekend. And I do like jelly beans. I have a strange love for super sugary candies
Ooh jelly beans…I haven’t had those in quite some time. I’m not doing much for Easter, I just plan to go to church and commemorate Christ’s sacrifice for us. :-)
Adorable Skylar pics! And beautiful outdoor pics, wow!
1. Getting together with family at my sister’s house and I only need to make a salad this time!
2. I used to be a huge Jelly Belly fan, but haven’t had them in years and recently learned they’re not vegan.
My mom used to fill those plastic eggs with jelly beans and m&ms and random candy. I loved it. We never did easter egg hunts, but we did have to find our baskets.
I was invited to an Easter Egg hunt tomorrow afternoon, but not really the most exciting Easter for a single 31 year old.
I love Skylar’s crafts — how cute! When I was younger I wanted to be a teacher (preschool or Kindergarten) because I wanted to do crafts all day long.
We ‘re spending the morning with my parents, then the afternoon with Jason’s mom’s side of the family, then I think we’ll head home and relax for a while. I wish I had taken Monday off of work!
Skylar’s so cute! love the bunny basket–it looks like it’s literally staring me down :P me too! I’ve never liked jelly beans. I’m not a fan of most candies, like just sugary stuff. (except for the ones from argentina where I’m from)
awww she’s precious! :)
I so want to do an easter egg hunt and it’s just me and my husband! sigh someday we’ll have some little ones to hide candy for :)
I’m not a fan of candy but I do love baked goods! mmm cupcakes :)
