easter realizations...

i can hardly believe it's been so long since i last posted something here! over easter weekend i had an 'ah ha' moment though and realized that i tend to avoid blogging if i don't have a whole bunch of time to do it. i put a lot of pressure on myself to make sure my posts are long, with lots of photos, links, and information. well, no more! i am going to try and post at least once a week and focus on small things, which you all will hopefully find interesting or inspiring, and if it's just a few paragraphs and a photo- so be it! hopefully my new approach to blogging will be received well by you, dear readers. let me know what you think!

and on that note, i thought i'd just share a little bit from our easter sunday...

we started bright and early with a little breakfast, just the husby and i, before we headed to church.

i made the quiche the night before and it turned out pretty tasty!

the 'easter bunny' also made a visit! look at the cute vintage bucket, and bowl he picked out for our 'baskets'. he also brought more than just candy...some pencils, burt's bees products, nut butters, and more!

after church we prepared for dinner guests. what a fun way to break in our new apartment- 11 adults and 2 toddlers! i always love hosting because it gives me motivation to clean (or in this case to finally finish putting things away) as well as an excuse to decorate and use my fun vintage collections! for easter i put my new loving cup collection to good use. they look so cute filled with some wheatgrass...

we also dyed eggs which i have been wanting to do for the last several years. i decided to try making dye from fruits and veggies this time...

the beets and blueberries worked really well, the carrots and spinach not so well. it was fun though and then we had lots of hard boiled eggs for a friend to make some deviled eggs that were a hit! almost everyone joined in the fun...

we had a lovely easter spent with good friends and family, amazing food, and lots of laughs! i hope you had a nice easter too!
