Baby's First Easter

I love Easter! All the pastel colors, warmer weather, fluffy bunnies, dyed Easter eggs,  and of course Easter baskets!! I can't wait to put together a basket for Boden's First Easter!

I want to keep his basket simple with small toys and gifts that are practical and useful. I want to keep Easter a day to celebrate with family and enjoy all the little things!

-Easter Basket-

I love white Easter baskets and filling them with all sorts of colorful goodies. I also order this lining to go on the inside and to personalize Boden's basket.

-Farm Plush Animals-

These little plush animals were too cute to pass up! How adorable are they! Little baby animals are perfect for Easter!

-Bunny-

This is the cutest plush bunny. And it's so soft! I can't wait to pack it into Boden's basket along with all the other goodies!

-Easter Weebles-

I always got little weebles in my Easter basket when I was a kid. They are so cute and I could always be found all day on Easter rocking these little guys on every counter and surface I could find!

-Plum Little Yums-

I can't wait to give these to Boden. He has been chowing down on every baby food we give him and I know his little teeth are about to poke through. These are the next step closer to giving him real food!

-Happy Easter, Little Critter-

We have been reading more and more recently to Boden. He usually gets a bath, bottle, book, then bed. This book was one of my favorites as a kid and I hope to start this as a tradition for Boden as he grows!

*Easter's on its way!*

Summer Gear for The Boy

This weather has me ready for spring & summer! It has gotten up to over 50 degrees a few times! The second it was above freezing temperatures, and acceptable to be outside with 15 layers of winter clothes, we took Boden out for a jog in the stroller. He loved it! The fresh air and little bumps in the road had him asleep in less then one block!

Not only do I love this warmer weather but spring clothes and summer bathing suites are everywhere! I couldn't help but snatch up a few summer essentials for my little man.

-Baseball T Rashguard-

-Orange Embroidered Tropical Swim Trunks-

-Colorblock Swim Trunks-

-Slip-on Sneakers-

It's time to start counting down the days until we are sippin drinks on the shores of Lake Michigan and roasting marshmallows around a beach camp fire!

St. Patty's Day Luck

We are hoping to run into lots of luck with St. Patrick's Day just around the corner! A large pot of gold would be nice!

But realistically I'll just hope for Boden's first tooth to make it's debut. It's so close..I can just barely see that little white bump poking through!

Until then..we celebrate with lots of green, gold and yummy food!

On the agenda:

-Irish Car Bomb Cupcakes-

These are SO amazing..I only allow myself to make them once a year for St. Patrick's Day. Otherwise I would be stuffing my face with them year round. (I'll post recipe later.)

-Rueben Sandwiches-

I know. Everybody always makes corned beaf and hash. I don't get it..I've never been a fan of that. So my tradition has been to slather my rueben sandwich in as much Thousand Island dressing as I possible can and pack it full of sauerkraut!

And of course an adorable green baby outfit! Boden looks so dashing in all that green!

If only Boden knew..it's not lucky him...it's lucky ME!
