Happy Friday! (Thank You Easter Bunny)

Do you remember this video.  I think having a baby makes me nostalgic for all these kiddo things.

I never understood the whole Peeps Subculture, but Peeps S'mores look like they are worth making. 

This Matzo Brei Kale Egg Sandwich looks delicious. 

I might actually watch a movie outside of my home since Union Market's Drive in Theater is back!

The National Portrait Gallery has an exhibition on what it means to be Cool.  I will definitely need to take notes. 

This piece from NPR made me feel pretty guilty about my IPhone usage.  Here's to self improvement.

On a more serious note, last week Father Frans van der Lugt was murdered in the Syrian town of Homs.  This is a powerful post written by a woman who went to his church as a girl.  NPR covered the story as well. 

Easter Inspiration

After a cold, long winter, Easter has a way of creeping up on you.  We are staying in town this year, heading to church and then having some friends over for something simple afterwards.  Hopefully I will have time to get some flowers and maybe dye a few eggs. 

Below are some photos of pretty but understated Easter tablescapes.  It's possible to be festive without using Easter Bunnies!

Oh and, check out these tips on how to organize an easy and fun Easter Egg Hunt.

How to Organize an EASY Easter Egg Hunt

This weekend the parents in my building got together to host an Easter egg hunt for our smaller residents. I had no idea how easy it is to put an Easter egg hunt together. Everything you need can be purchased at your local drug store, and if you are on the craftier side, you might have some things lying around your house.

 

You could spend all night looking at all the beautiful Easter egg hunts on Pinterests, but really, kids don't care about beautiful yard signs and dessert bars.  They just want to run around and search for treats.
