Happy Friday!!!
In honor of Spring Break being 7 days away...I have 7 favorites I want to share with you today!
{ONE}
Since Easter is just one week away, let's talk about my favorite Easter Candy:
I keep these in the fridge. Reeses Peanut Butter Eggs cold are the BEST.
Know what isn't my favorite? Cadbury Eggs. I'm sorry. I just don't like them. I think they are nasty. I've had 1 bite of one in my entire life and couldn't even finish it because it was gross.

Celebrating Holidays is my FAVORITE!
Easter is a week from Sunday, so here are some fun activities that you can do with your kids this week to get you in the Easter Spirit! Many of these will help you focus on the true meaning of Easter....that Jesus died on the cross for all of us and rose again 3 days later. Some of the other activities are just for fun!
Planting Jelly Beans
We do this on Good Friday & have the lollipops appear on
Easter Sunday representing that God has taken the old and given us new
life.
You can read Luke Chapter 18 in the
Bible with this activity.
Talk about how Jesus’s body was laid in the tomb then on the 3rd
day was raised from the dead and lived again.
Bunny Prints
On our front walkway made with flour on Easter Morning:
Bunny Trail
(Marshmallows leading them to their Easter Baskets)
Empty Tomb Easter Cookies with Scripture
Resurrection Rolls:
(Recipe HERE)
Easter Egg Coupons:
Instead of filing eggs with candy, you can add these coupons to some of your kids eggs!
My girls LOVE getting these in their eggs!

Tie Dyed Easter Eggs:
Use silk ties to dye eggs! So fun.

You've been Egged Printable:
In case you missed my post yesterday, I posted a "You've Been Egged" Printable.
We have had so much fun "egging" our friends this week!
Download it {HERE}

Crying kids with Santa & the Easter Bunny are my favorite.
We are going to see the Easter Bunny next week.
Hoping I get a repeat of last year:

My Fix is supposed to arrive this afternoon. I can't wait!
It's like Christmas morning every month. This is my 11th month getting a Stitch Fix (you don't have to do them every month, but I love getting them, so I chose the monthly option. :)
You don't have to do it every month, you can customize it to how you want it...every other month, every 2 months, every 3 months, etc.
When you sign up for Stitch Fix, you link your Pinterest Boards to them so that know what styles you like. If you don't have Pinterest, that's okay because they also have a style questionaire for you to fill out & they have collages of outfits and you rate them on how you like them.
Each Fix comes with 5 different items & it comes with a prepaid mailing envelope, so you can easily return the items you don't want.
You aren't obligated to keep any of it! I have kept at least 1 item each time, sometimes I keep 2 or 3.
It's fun!

As if you didn't know, Rodan + Fields is my favorite skin care...especially the eye cream!
I started using the eye cream right after Luke was born and WOW, it got rid of the bags under my eyes that I had from lack of sleep with a newborn.
Our Multi-Function Eye Cream combines powerful peptides to minimize the appearance of crow’s-feet, helps reduce the appearance of both puffiness and dark under eye circles while special optical diffusers noticeably brighten the eye area.
Ophthalmologist tested, this formula is ideal for maintaining the delicate skin around the eyes.
This brave consultant only used the eye cream on one eye for 3 weeks!
It's less puffy & she doesn't have bags under that eye!
I will be placing a BULK order of our amazing eye cream NEXT Wednesday!
For my bulk order, you can get it with my discount and it will only cost you $54 and I will cover your tax & shipping!
One jar lasts me at least 4-5 months.
Let me know if you want to order one! Leave a comment with your email or email me: melissa_larson17@yahoo.com
My March Madness deal is also going on, if you want to become a preferred customer.
You get $20 cash back, 17% off your order and FREE Shipping!
(If you did this deal, you could get the eye cream for even less than my bulk order discount!)
I would LOVE to help you with your skin care needs!

Bingo is my favorite!
For the past year, some of my friends and I have gone to play Bingo at the Country Club for their Bingo night. They have it once a month and for the past year we have been going. We haven't made it to all of them, but when we do, it is a riot!!!
Usually there are between 3 - 6 of us. But this month, there were 10 of us!!! Don, the announcer wanted a picture with us this month to put in the monthly newsletter. We are the youngest ones by about 30 years....I love Bingo with the old people :)
In the past year, none of us have ever won and we haven't even been at a table where someone has won. But, this month 5 out of the 10 of us WON games!!!!
So much fun!! I won a Champange Brunch for 2.
We were quite the scene at Bingo since 5 of us won.
This is what our table looked like at the end of the night.
Bingo cards & empty wine bottles. LOVE it.

ReplyDeleteI love those Reeses Eggs SO much. I need to stop eating them!
ReplyDeleteI love your idea for putting the coupons in the eggs. I don't have kids of my own. But I'm a teacher and I think I may do something similar with my students - coupons for homework pass, treasure box, extra computer time, etc. And as for the Target gift card - If I won, I would buy some warmer clothes/shoes for my summer missions trip to West Africa. I really need to shop, but am waiting as long as possible since things aren't as cheap as they used to be :)
ReplyDeleteTarget is my happy place too! I'm there at least twice a week!
ReplyDeleteYou just reminded me that I have a bag of reeces eggs stashed! I may have to break into them!

ReplyDeleteJust got married a few months ago, so would definitely love to buy a few of the home things we missed getting on our registry!
ReplyDeleteI usually buy 7 or 8 bags of the Reeses Easter eggs so I can eat them year round! Those and the nerd jelly beans are my favorite.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your silk tie idea!
ReplyDeleteI just started R+F last week and think I'm ready to pull the trigger on the eye cream. If I order from you, are you able to ship it to me in SC? That picture is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love all your Easter ideas. And I am with you on the Cadbury eggs....I think they are gross too:)
ReplyDeleteI'd use $100 to spruce up our deck for the warmer weather (which we've yet to experience here in NY). Thanks so much for the chance to win.
