Easter Wish-List for Mama and Mini

I LOVE Easter. There is a three-way tie for favorite holiday between Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Easter in my house. Since we are Christians, Easter isn’t just about the Easter bunny, candy, and yummy food….it has a much more important meaning to us. But…we still squeeze in some fun treats to celebrate Christ dying for us! So of course Hudson has to have a super fun Easter basket, right? His “wish list” is totally fun…and makes me want to be a kid all over again!

And what am I wishing for this Easter??? A tropical vacation where I can sport some of the super cute Lisa Curran swim suits!

I mean….RUFFLES! I die. Lisa Curran has a wonderful selection of cute one piece suits. I want the black one in my summer wardrobe asap! You can see me in my suit from last year here. 

And hearts!!!! I have a Lisa Curran bathing suit from last year and the quality is really amazing. The fabric held up well to Hudson’s swim lessons and helped me feel like a hot mama! Not just another assortment of string bikinis in different prints, Lisa Curran Swim is a sophisticated, chic and carefully planned collection where each style is designed for a certain customer, encompassing all body types: from the woman who wants to show a little more skin to the customer who wants to hide her tummy or requires more chest coverage.
The cover-ups are so pretty too. I wish I had a fun trip planned to wear all of these amazing suits and cover ups! Anyone have a fun trip planned? I want to live vicariously through you!

    Such fun stuff for Hudson! We gave Owen the same bunny last year (or the year before? can't remember) and it is still SO soft!

    It seems like a lot of mamas have that Jellycat bunny on their little one's list – me included! Love your fun picks!

    You've probably already figured this out, but the little Hape Qube animals fit perfectly in the Easter Eggs from Target. We went with the jungle themed ones this year. Here's the basket all ready to go! http://alwayspaintedusuallychipped.blogspot.com/2014/03/we-have-efficient-easter-bunny.html

    Love the Easter basket ideas! Especially the Pete the Cat book, my daughter is obsessed with those books! We've been reading the Valentine's Day version since February! 😉

    Cute Easter basket ideas! I haven't even begun to think about what I'm going to put in Mac's basket. Whatever I can find at Target the day before, probably. ugh. 🙂

It really is true when they say the days are long It really is true when they say the days are long but the years are short. One day I’m struggling to carry two babies at a time while wrangling a toddler and then next minute they are all off to school and practices and friends’ houses. With all three kids in school we’ve been thinking a lot about their futures and how we are going to one day pay for college. We set up a Michigan Education Trust 529 plan for each of our kids when they were babies and I am SO happy we did! With a MET account, we can pay for future college tuition at today’s prices. With MET’s discounted age-based pricing the earlier you start, the more you are able to save! Plus grandparents and other loved ones can contribute to my kids’ accounts too! With MET you get back what you put in if your child chooses a different path and the money goes with you if your child goes to school out of state. You can even transfer it to immediate family members and all contributions to MET plans are tax deductible! To learn more about how to set up a MET account and the benefits of starting your child’s account early, check out my stories or the link in my bio. @mieducationtrust #sponsored #SETwithMET #MI529 #collegesavings #METSept2023
