Tidbits from Home
We spent this week at home in recovery mode after a fun (but exhausting!) Minnesota trip last weekend.


It feels like we’re all still catching up on sleep – can you relate to those long weekend trips that leave you feeling like you need a vacation from your vacation?
(Although I wouldn’t exactly call a club volleyball tournament a vacation!)


On Wednesday, we celebrated Peyton’s academic achievements at her Honors Convocation – she made the high distinction honor roll with a perfect GPA last semester!
We’re incredibly proud!
Despite the busy week, Easter festivities have officially begun!
We kicked things off with a chilly and windy track meet yesterday morning (brrr!).
Thankfully, the rest of the weekend will be a relaxing one at home.
We’re looking forward to hosting a brunch for my parents and sister’s family today.
I’ll be sure to share photos next week!

This Week on the Blog
As the saying goes, better late than never.
This week I finally shared some of the Easter crafts I had been working on the last several weeks.

A few weeks ago, these adorable little gold Easter bunnies just had to hop into my shopping cart!
I couldn’t wait to transform them into the cutest DIY place card holders for my Easter table.
Want to make your own?
Hop on over to the original post for the easy tutorial and supply list!

In addition to the bunny place card holders, I also whipped up these adorable DIY bird’s nest napkin rings.
They’re perfect for spring and would add a charming touch to your table setting for any special gathering.

Thank you, Donna. It seems like they have already grown up so quickly. I sometimes wish there was a pause button. They definitely keep us busy, but I know I will miss it once they’re grown and out of the house.
Happy Easter to you!
