Spring

spring break in the smoky mountains

April 13, 2021

This year for spring break we decided to head to the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee. The past few years, a ton of people from Michigan were vacationing there so it peaked my interest. When I was looking into it, I realized how much stuff there was to do there – especially for families/kids! The Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area is basically a huge tourist trap (but a fun one!). Amusement parks, hiking trails, caves, mountain coasters, shopping.. seriously so many things to do. Not to mention it’s absolutely beautiful!!!

I have been so behind on my blogging that I thought I would post about my Mother’s Day! It was a great day during this crap quarantine. We finally said screw it, and visited our moms. It had been way too long!

toddler easter basket gift guide 2020

March 23, 2020

This year I’m only going to be sharing my toddler gift guides. My older daughters (age 11) are getting more specific items now that they are getting older. Seriously Kasey has about ten Stranger Things items in her basket, haha. I have tween gift guides from past years that still have awesome ideas though! The photo above is a quick mock up Easter Basket I did with items we already had at home – more tween ideas!

Easter baskets are my favorite to buy for – I like it more than Christmas gifts! Not really sure why! Here are some good ideas for this year’s toddler baskets…

Also note that I found all of these online! Since most of us are on a mandatory lockdown, most people will be ordered online.

functional easter basket ideas

March 16, 2020

Some people like to use a traditional Easter basket and store it year after year. Other people like to think outside the box and use fun items like umbrellas, strollers, etc. for their baskets. I typically like to use a storage basket that we can use for organization throughout the house. I also just love buying baskets, not really sure why. This gives me a good excuse to get some cute baskets for the house! I’m sharing my favorite baskets/tubs that would work perfect as Easter baskets!
