Kids Easter Basket Ideas

ONE // TWO // THREE // FOUR // FIVE // SIX // SEVEN // EIGHT // NINE // TEN // ELEVEN // TWELVE // THIRTEEN // FOURTEEN // FIFTEEN // SIXTEEN // SEVENTEEN // EIGHTEEN // NINETEEN // TWENTY

We keep Easter baskets pretty simple around here with a few inexpensive fun items or books and some sweets for each kiddo. I rounded up some of our favorites if you need some Easter Basket ideas or Easter book ideas for kids! All linked below the images.

A few notes:
1) Resurrection Eggs – My sister sent these to us a few years ago and I love how it gives little ones touch and feel visuals to go with the story of Easter.
6) Rocco, Max, and Veronica (ages 5, 7, and 9) all love these fossil eggs! Easy to split up into baskets.
14) Non-messy air dry foamy clay (I cannot do slime.), and they come in a big pack so another item I am just splitting these up into the younger kids’ baskets!

White oak flooring - resurfacing floors

One of the bigger projects we had planned for in this home renovation is resurfacing the first floor hardwoods! The floors are over 20 years old so there was some warping, fading, and peeling. We got a few estimates from flooring contractors based on referrals (always get a first hand experience rec!), and was able to find a good quote for what we were looking for. This post details the process, pricing, and materials we used as well as what we used to install similar hardwoods in the upstairs bedroom.

Chiara’s Nursery Play Room Tour

March 17, 2021

nursery design

We started this room design last summer, and thought we would be able to whip it up in a jiffer. (How humorous of my optimistic self.) I have come to appreciate slow paced changes in our home this past year. Every corner seems to have a backstory, and some more entertaining than others. Nonetheless, we are happy to welcome you in and give you a tour of Chiara’s (Cheech the peach) nursery/play room…

Colorful Shared Bedroom Plans for 3 Girls

February 25, 2021

bonus room

When we found this house at the last minute, we kept an open mind with what we could change to make it more functional for our family. Most homes with a “bonus room” are used as additional lounge space in the upstairs, but we will be converting the room into a colorful shared bedroom for the girls.

Weekend Notes: Simple Valentine’s Day Weekend Plans, Movie Picks, Tips for Second Hand Shopping, etc

February 13, 2021

Via Grit and Polish

It would be the easiest year to let some things slide, and I have definitely gone easy on myself in many regards! I’m sure so many of us are feeling the lack of motivation for the things that used to make us happy. I admit I was to just let this Valentine’s Day slip by, but maybe this is the year we all need these small efforts most.

Closet Makeover Steps + Pattered Wallpaper Options

February 9, 2021

Before we were crazy enough to wallpaper our entire dining room we had a little warm up with Chiara’s closet. It had been a while since our last wallpaper attempt, and it took a bit to find a groove. All in all it wasn’t too bad considering we only had one panel that didn’t survive, and Gabe and I survived the tense close quarters scenario without hating each other! Today I am sharing a good look at the before and after as well as supplies we used, and 12 other whimsical wallpapers that would make for some happy closet spaces.
