Easter isn’t for two months, but I’ve already had a few fellow anticipators reach out for suggestions on celebration gear and wardrobe for the occasion (and, as I answered here, chic invitations!). Below, thought I’d share a few finds for self, child, and home…
For Me to Wear…

MAJOR GWYNETH IN EMMA VIBES — GREAT WITH A BUMP

P.P.P.S. Some of our most-cooked recipes.
I love anticipating Easter! Sadly it’s probably more because I’m always eager for spring after a Michigan winter, and because I love pastels, and because Easter candy is the best candy (shoutout to Cadbury mini eggs) than for religious reasons…although I am religious. Haven’t started scouting for Easter dresses yet. I can’t decide if I want to be that mom who dresses her girls in matching dresses!
On a related note, Claire has been OBSESSED with this book for the last week or so https://www.amazon.com/Story-Easter-Patricia-Pingry-1998-02-01/dp/B01F81VLRQ/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=the+story+of+easter+lorraine&qid=1581011964&s=hpc&sr=8-5
We got it as a hand-me-down from my cousin, and the illustrations are pretty cheesy (I thought it must have been originally published in the early 80’s but actually it’s from 1997??) but she loves it and has it memorized so she “reads” it to herself when I refuse to read it again for the 5th time in a row.
Aw!! Thanks for sharing!
