I can’t believe we are so close to Easter. While it won’t be the typical celebration, which includes family, friends and all the delicious food my family cooks, I am excited to maybe start a new tradition with my squad at home. One thing I’ve always tried to convince Stephen to do (and granted, he has participated a few times…mostly when we were early on in our relationship and he was still trying to score some points ๐) is dye Easter Eggs. It is one of my favorite memories from growing up and I really hope it will be one of the girls favorites, too.
This is from Easter last year!
I’ve rounded up a dozen (get it, a dozen eggs…) ideas from different bloggers if you’re feeling creative and want to try something knew. I will admit, I did buy the PAASยฎ Easter Egg kits, just in case my crafty attempts fail me!
