chalkboard signs

I painted this chalkboard last summer. It's been a good investment, let me tell you.

When I run out of time to make signs for parties, I just whip this out and write a message.

To make your own, all you need is chalkboard spray paint and a frame.

easter greetings!

I don't think I've introduced you to Blake yet. He is the cutest little baby boy I know (or maybe I am just biased since I'm his mom.) Anyways, we've been having lots of fun together (hence my lack of creative and festive things lately.) He was kind enough though to let me put on some bunny ears for a little photo shoot so we could wish you a very happy Easter and Spring. 

Thanks for making it fun to keep this little blog of mine going. 

And a special thanks to Andrea and Marcelle for their festive posts lately!

easter dinner table decor

Are you hosting Easter dinner? We hosted it last year, so I thought I would pass on a few ideas for you.
We used white dishes, colored square dessert plates from Ross, Tag Easter egg serving bowls, and had flower centerpieces. We made cheesy potatoes, glazed ham , jello eggs ,  and fairy rolls. Oh, and we had little favors that our guests  had to hunt for. Good luck! 

Quick, Easy, Easter Idea

Hey everyone! This is Melissa's friend Andrea with a quick Easter idea for you. I picked up these cute little bunny glasses from the dollar store . . .

Topped it with a little Easter Bunny tag . . .

And it's all set to make your little one very happy . . .

. . . Not to mention cute!
