Well hey there, I have found it hard to manage everything after coming home from the hospital but honestly maybe I am just prioritizing my health and my time. But hoping to take this week to prep for April!


We have all loved the spring weather we had over the last week and cannot wait for it to stay warm. I realized Easter is in a week so I thought I'd share (and shop for) our Easter basket fillers today and I'd share.

I am all about the sweets that comes with Easter, well I shouldn't say that but I am all about the girls excitement of opening up an egg filled with jelly beans that they never eat during the year But the Easter Bunny also brings some Spring time goodies (it's been our tradition since Zoe's first Easter!

Some may argue that little knick knacks are the trick but it honestly is not my style the crap ends up everywhere and eventually into our recycle bin (after I've stubbed a toe a few times) so I stick to things we will use, especially for Spring!

1. Sun Hat // This one is great too!

2. PJ's (girls are obsessed with "PJ dresses!" - these are cute ones too!)

3. Water Color Set (we have been obsessed with water color painting, easy clean up and everyone can enjoy!)

5. Rain Boots (something they will use a LOT!)

6. Cute set of sunnies! The reviews are great and the girls love them for dress up.

7. Stickers! (I'll put some in the basket and save some for another time!)

8. Cute umbrellas, (we actually get so much more use out of umbrellas in the city! this one is cute)!

10. THE BEST Bubbles, and bubble machine set (with amazing reviews)!

11. Swimmies! One Piece I got the girls this year because they can wear for gymnastics too!

12. Sandals - I size up and the girls wear them through the Fall. They look great dressed up and down! LOVE them.

13. This Doll - so sweet for a little babe !

14. Spring books for each of the girls, this one for Ami and this one for both girls, we have this one and it's incredible. I love that we will put these out every Spring.

15. Indoor Starter Planting Kit (I love this gardening set!) this for a toddler is great too!)

16. Ready Set Paste set both girls have used this!

17. Magnetic Pattern Block Set - love gifting a gift that is a learning toy/busy box, they both love this.

18. Honey Stick Crayons ( we love these bath crayons!)

19. Rock Sidewalk Chalk - fun for outdoor play!!

21. Non-Drying kid markers! I got the girls these because we color a LOT and these won't dry out!

22. My girls love washi tape!

26. Butterfly Garden ( I just ordered this for the girls !)

27. I ordered these little unicorn eggs, totally and activity the girls will enjoy after.

28. This fun Easter Lego set is a cute gift/activity for the day.

Now I am dying to know what you usually put in your baskets? And what are your traditions?!

You guys all know that Amazon makes the world go round for mamas, so I am answering a bunch of "where is that from " and sharing my favs all together.

This Math Set

This Work Book from Ami

These sandals I got for Mother's Day, love them! (currently half off, so I had to get them in white)

Just ordered this mister for the girls morning hair routine.

Wishing you all an incredible weekend and remember (just like I tell Zoe) how your day goes is all up to you, so make it a GREAT one.

Hey Hey,

I had big plans to share a yummy soup recipe but 80 degree weather and an insane week took front seat.

I promise to get my posts up when Ami decides to sleep in past 4am...

For now here I am sharing Five Friday Favorites, you know because I am alll so original. lol All about shopping this week because the season are changing and mama needs a refresh,

1. I had the honor of representing #realwomen in the Vetta Capsule photo shoot this week and goodness the clothes are just so dang good. Guys I want it all and also am currently cleaning out my closet so I can convince my hubby I NEED it all. The culottes in olive and this two piece jumpsuit are EVERYTHING.

2. If you only get a few things for your Fall wardrobe then these Nina Leggings from Peach are a MUST HAVE. They stretch like no other faux leather leggings I've tried (and I embarrassingly have a few) and go from drop off under a tunic to yoga with a sports bra and then date night with an off the shoulder sweater. Can you tell how happy I am about them.

3. Two Target finds that have made it on me all week: this skirt (paired with slides now because it's 80 and booties in cooler weather), this destructed comfy black sweatshirt paired with my fav joggers were perfect for Ami's first swim lessons. Check out the rest of my buys here on my Shopping Cart page.

4. I just ordered these jeans in a few sizes because I heard they run small and my technique is going to be to try them on without looking a the size....

5. I've ordered this fisherman cap to add to my hat collection, I don't know how I will feel about it on me but my style icon said we all need one...

We are wishing farewell to my step daughter/daughter/friend Kay tomorrow (she is off to start a grownup life post college). And maybe work on that wall collage a little more... I wish we would have had the energy for an Ikea trip but two babes at that wonderous place... ehhh no gracias.

Next week is another crazy week but my hope is prep some great posts for you and to squeeze in some fun with my girls on a "work trip" to the Cape later in the week.

Tell me what are you up to?

Also, I know a ton of you are always asking about places to make new mama friends, well this free app called Peanut is the place. Guys it's like a tinder for mamas to find new mama friends!! I am going to also write up a post next week on other ideas, but seriously download it now and thank me later. :)
