Free Printable Friday - Egg Hunt!

Easter is coming up! And everyone loves a good egg hunt. So I threw together this fun scavenger hunt game with clue flags for your little ones to enjoy! You can write your own clues so the game is customized to your own home, and there are up to 10 clue flags. Stick them right inside some plastic eggs and you're good to go!

You'll have to download this in PDF format since there are lots of bits and pieces. Enjoy!

Sunday Rewind

To review the week in Instagram photos, we have been doing lots of wedding planning, along with family time, of course. I indulged in one of my favorite easy meals: pasta and peas with butter and romano cheese. Adrianne was given peanut butter toast and attempted to eat just the peanut butter sans the toast. Always lots of baby cuteness in this house! And we have had a newfound love for old toys: bumbo chair, johnny jumper, play table seat, etc. Although Adrianne got the flu for the very first time. It was very sad, she was so lethargic. But she got up the next morning and was ravenous, she ate practically all of our food! Flu was completely gone.

I hope everyone has had a great week! What was the highlight of your week?

Free Printable Friday - Formal Table Setting Reference Card

I can't believe it's already Friday again! Well, if I don't have time for crafts, at least I can throw together a few freebies here and there for you guys.

Here is a quick reference card you can stash away in a drawer in your kitchen or something. Whenever you're having guests over for dinner you can pull it out so you know you're setting the table right! How fancy you are!

Anticipating Paradise

I don't think there can be any question as to why I am looking forward to this summer. A honeymoon in tropical paradise Hawaii? Need I say more? I've been so ridiculously busy lately that I think a vacation at the end of the semester is definitely in order. Oh my gosh...just the word...vacation...

Anyways!

The wedding plans are going fairly well though, as stressed out as I am. Things are finally falling into place. I'm getting my dress fitted in a couple of weeks, so wish me luck! We think we may have a cake and officiant and DJ booked. And look what I got:

Time for me to get cracking on these bad boys, DIY style! These kits are pretty nice, I've already delved into the box and you get to put everything together yourself, so it still feels like I'm doing it all on my own, except all the bits and pieces have all been collected up for me. I'm just dreading the invitation on which I run out of printer ink. I've really got to get these mailed out...

Well, that's what I've been up to these days...wedding plans, wedding plans, wedding plans! Oh and of course lots of essays for school, a sick toddler with the flu, a newborn who doesn't like to sleep, and learning some computer stuff on the side among other things!

I feel kind of lame that I haven't done any crafting in a while. I have so many projects lined up, but I just can never find the time! I'm going to try and make a couple of wreaths next, I think. My door is looking kind of bare and the only wreaths I own are a Christmas wreath and a Halloween wreath. I know there are lots of wreaths floating around on Pinterest and I could use a little inspiration. Anyone have a favorite wreath they would like to share?

Liebster Blogs!

My dear friend Gabby of The...Late, Young Family has awarded me with the Liebster Blog award. Thanks, Gabby! Basically, the award is passed around as a way to feature blogs that deserve some attention but don't yet have many followers. Liebster apparently means "dearest/beloved" so I think that is good enough reason to continue the tradition. How sweet! Here are the rules of the Liebster Award:

1. Thank your Liebster Blog Award presenter
2. Make sure to link back to the blogger who presented you with the award
3. Copy and paste the blog award button on your blog
4. Present the Liebster Blog Award to 5 blogs of 200 followers of less and who you feel deserve to be noticed.
