Easter weekend is finally here and I have a lot going on here for it. No dance today, because the studio is closed for the holiday weekend, but we are toying with the notion of taking the girls to their first movie to see The Croods. I recently won a prize pack from the movie from Boogies N Boo-Boos and I haven’t told the girls just yet that a toy stuffed animal and poster will be arriving soon. However, we do think we may try the movie today. At some point, we need to also color/decorate eggs, too.
Also, we will be spending Easter Brunch with Kevin’s Family. I am making Mimosas for the occasion and contemplating making a dish, too. So I need to get my butt in gear and decide on that one. And Easter dinner is being spent with my family. For that I making my famous Peeps Cake that I shared on my Peeps Dessert Recipes here.
By the way, tomorrow’s post is pre-scheduled, because as you can see from above I am going to be pre-occupied with Easter and our families for the rest of this weekend. The Easter Bunny is on his way and will be bringing (along with their baskets) brand new bikes for my girls. If you missed the picture, check out my 1 Snap A Day picture posting for day 83. And if you celebrate, then I want to take this moment to wish you and your family a very, Happy Easter, too!!.
Now, onto to my weekly recap for those catching up now!!
On Sunday, I delved into the topic of not getting nearly enough sleep anymore as a mother of two little girls in my own sarcastic way and if you want to see more of my take on this, then click here.
On Monday, I shared my idea of the perfect clothes when I workout (hint I am anything but put together on this one!). Read the original post and let me know your workout outfits if you haven’t already, here.
On Tuesday, I offered a glimpse into some tender, wonderful moments from my past, when I first learned to ride a bike courtesy of the fact that my girls are indeed getting their first bikes as I stated above, click here for more on this. Also on this day, I also passed along information on a truly awesome company and my love of Harry Potter with my weekly giveaway, too. For more about my addiction to Harry Potter and the raffle, click here.
On Wednesday, I decided I would love to share pictures of a Easter’s Past of my girls all dressed for Easter Sundays for another successful Flashback Wednesday. To see them all decked in their finest, go here. I also had a guest post from the wonderful Ryan, who is my monthly sponsor from Carlaban. to read more from him, click here.
On Thursday, I wrote about trying to keep my girls in line by using the Easter Bunny as a bit of leverage. For more on this and to give your advice, click here.
On Friday, yet another Finish the Sentence Friday linkup went live with the sentence to finish being, “If I could hang out with any celebrity, it would be…”. To linkup if you haven’t or just to find out what celebrity I would love to spend some quality time with (hint think Harry Potter), as well as others celebrity favorites, click here.
And now that another Saturday is indeed upon us, I hope you too have a wonderful, fun weekend. I know that is a loaded sentence and sentiment if you are a mom. My weekend as I said is filled with craziness in the form of my two girls and Kevin, too. Again just pray for a healthy weekend for me.
Also for this upcoming week, stay tuned for another awesome giveaway (hint think Awesome Bloggers) as well more Flashback Wednesday action and keep in mind that Finish the Sentence Friday will be happening again and as always going live this Thursday night at 10 pm EST!! And that is a wrap-up!!
