the easter bunny was full of surprises this year. with a little tradition too. everything was still color-coded, meaning each child was assigned a color & that meant they only hunted for eggs that color. this keeps things balanced & friendly, in a competitive family.

the kids were screaming with delight, which means husband and i were smiling at each other with super-delight. evenings like this make me feel settled. like i am right where i am supposed to be with who i am supposed to be with – and all is well.

our kiddo’s kept taking breaks to count how many eggs they had found,

the hipstamatic run-down of our easter egg-dyeing tradition…

maybe you all know this… but, using food coloring + vinegar/water works wayyyyy better than those little tablets you buy in kits. yeah. i didn’t know that, till this year. and our eggs are more gorgeous than eva!

i live for holidays & special events. so, easter is no exception, and i love everything…the eggs, the spring outfits, wheat grass, the pastel kitchen accessories, baby chicks {like… the real animal!}, the ham dinner.

i love pretending the easter bunny is going to come hopping right through our back yard in front of my older girls even though my excessive enthusiasm is met with rolled eyes by all.

have you heard? the donut, especially the mini-donut is supposed to take-over the cupcake craze and be the latest-greatest new thing!

so, while preparing for kj’s upcoming birthday we have decided it would be fun to make mini donuts & let the kids decorate them at the party…

we are searching for the world’s best cake-donut recipe! this past weekend, we tried our first one. i found mini donut pans here, and we used the recipe below. it was good, it was really fun to decorate the donuts – the kids loved it! but, i think there might be a better recipe out there… if you have suggestions, please leave a comment &

do you plant wheat grass? if you get it planted any day this week, it should be the perfect length by april 24th. instructions to plant wheat grass are simple…

use good soil.

fill your planter/pot/jar almost to the top with soil. i like to go about 1″ from the top. or, use a thin layer of soil. this is your choice – you do not have to have a lot of soil to grow the grass. i have had success using pots with drainage and without.
