Last Minute Easter Treats!

Happy Easter to everyone! I can't believe Easter is already this Sunday. Although it is later this year it has come to fast. The Crafting Chicks have provided yet another great idea to celebrate this Easter holiday! Here is a cute creative Easter idea to give away to friends or family. And super easy!

Step 1: First gather those empty egg cartons.

Step 2: Purchase a bunch of Easter candy! Choose an assortment of colors and textures.

Step3: Fill as many spaces as you like with plastic eggs. Only use half of the egg, leave the other half off.

Ooohhh looks yummy! A great creative way to display some Easter candy

Next you can grab some colorful spring fabric to wrap around your egg carton. And tie a ribbon around it or whatever you can find around the house :)

Perfectly crafty and easy Easter treats! For more information on this project you can check out The Crafting Chicks.

Enjoy this fun project with your family and have a wonderful Easter holiday!!

Happy Easter!

Spring Break is just around the corner and it is an exciting time for children. But it can be very stressful for parents! What to do? Where to go? What to pack? Kids seem to have growth spurts in the Spring which calls for new summer wardrobes.

Spring break in Oregon is March 21st-25th and in southwest Washington it is April 4th-8th.

I'm boooooored!!!

Going to the park

Portland is full of nature and the outdoors. Why not take to kids to the park one day and let them burn off some of that energy. Especially on a sunny day, it is nice for everyone to get out of the house and enjoy the beginnings of Spring.
