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!

best st. patrick’s day books for kids

March 3, 2020

I don’t know about you but I LOVE themed holiday bookshelves. I feel like most of our children’s books revolve around the holidays or the “time of year”. Children’s books can be expensive so thrift stores like Goodwill or Salvation Army are good places to look. Amazon too! I usually get one new book per season, so it doesn’t seem that expensive. I’m going to be sharing my favorite St. Patrick’s day books that we love.

To be honest I started writing this blog post a few weeks ago but then the incident with my sister happened and I never ended up finishing it. I thought I would jump back into it and share what I’ve been loving recently.

*SCROLL DOWN FOR GIVEAWAY INFO*

I CANNOT believe that I’ve been painting peg dolls for a full year! This hobby quickly turned into something bigger than I ever imagined it would be. I started posting pictures of the ones I made for my own kids and then the messages from other people came rolling in. Therefore, I decided to open an Etsy shop! I honestly didn’t know how well I’d do but I thought, hey, if I could get a couple orders a month that would be cool and it would give me something to do.
