White Lace

I didn't share what I wore for Easter in my last post because I wanted to wait until now to show to you.
Everyone loves a little black dress, but I think I've fallen for this little white dress. 

My little loves. I forgot to pack dress shoes for them... oops.



I wanted to show the back, but I've got big booty issues going on... eek! I'll try and remember to keep it pulled down in the future.

I found it when I was out shopping with my mom. My mom is a huge fan of Belk's and she's the type of person I used to think about when I thought of shopping there. Although, lately they have proven me wrong and that they aren't just for the 50 and over crowd. The stock at Belk's can vary on the size with the larger stores carrying such a large selection it can be a little overwhelming but there are some fabulous deals and clothes to be found plus it's also all available online! Make sure to check out their store brand, Crown & Ivy, which is really stepping it with their cute patterns and adorable dresses. It's very Lilly Pulitzer-esque but at a fraction of the price. Here are a couple of my favorites. Today you can take an extra 25% off regular and sale clothing using code 35707734 plus free shipping for orders over $25. What's not to love?




Scalloped Shorts- I've already bought these

Easter Weekend with my Bunnies

Happy Easter! I hope everyone got to spend some fun quality time with family... I sure did. On Saturday, Oliver and I headed to my parent's house in the country. I always love visiting them. They're just over an hour away, so the trip isn't too bad and the boys love seeing their grandparents, getting endless treats, and running around in the woods. I grew up the country down a dirt road with our nearest neighbors about a mile away. I spent my days helping my grandparents in the garden and running around barefooted. I'm not scared of tromping through the woods and I can spot a critter before just about anyone else. I enjoyed growing up in the country and I want to boys to get a little of that experience when they visit.
Pierce and Emmett showed up a little bit later then me and Oliver. They had gone camping with our neighbors, so they arrived stinky and tired. Once they showered and rested we played, dyed Easter eggs, and helped my dad ("Papa" to the boys) plant sunflowers.
**Warning: picture overload**

Camping wore him out. Thankfully I remembered to bring Cutie (his bear).


 Egg dyeing is serious business for me and E.

Emmett Egg and Ollie Egg

He made some fabulous eggs and only spilled one cup of dye.

Planting sunflower seeds.


 On Sunday we headed to church with my parents. When we got back to the house we ate too much and then hid and hunted Easter eggs.. Emmett loved finding them. Oliver found a couple but when he would find one, he would put it in his basket then take it out and put it back where he found it. It was cute... Emmett ended up sharing his eggs with Oliver.

My parents.

Finding Easter eggs.

Ollie found one. 

After the hunt. They are so sweet to one another. It makes this mama's heart so happy!

The Easter bunny found his way to my parent's house and their were baskets waiting for the boys when we got back home. Needless to say, there is way too much candy in our house right now. I think I'm going to have to sneak and get rid of some because it does not help me now that I'm trying to eat clean. It's just too tempting.
That was about it. Time to crash and get ready for another exciting workweek (insert sarcasm emoji). Hope you all had as nice of weekend as I did!

I gave up sodas and now that Lent's over it's on. Cherry Coke... get in my belly.

Easter Dresses

I'm sort of behind on getting my Easter outfits together for the family. Luckily I bought some cute stuff for the boys a while back from Old Navy. I have this shirt and these pants for Emmett and this shirt and these shorts for Oliver. Pierce is a whole other story. He likes what he likes and doesn't like to stray far from his standard. So I'm not going to waste my time or money trying to get him something new right now. He can wear what he's got... I know he'll look handsome.

Now for me... what to wear?
I've got a few contenders in my closet that I bought for spring (this and this) but it's always fun to see if there's something new I'd like better. Here are a few dresses I'm really feeling for this spring and would be perfection for Easter. I think I'm going to need a bigger closet ;-)








Isn't Easter candy the best? The minis are my favorite.
