Do you host Easter or do you go to someone elses house for Easter?
Do you do themed Easter decor?

I would love to be home for Easter as my Mum always creates a fabulous meal as well as a beautiful tablescape. So I will be hosting Easter at my place, which means this weekend I best go out shopping for my decor. I will be giving my table a color theme which will be soft and feminine.

 Easter is coming up, and for those of you who celebrate and are also trying to watch your weight, this means another holiday of dealing with candy and sweets. The positive side is that there is no rule that says you have to fill your Easter basket with pounds of chocolate eggs and jellybeans. Fill your basket with these healthier alternatives instead:

• Fresh fruit

 • Homemade cookies or muffins made with healthy ingredients like oats, raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, and dark chocolate chips

•  Dark chocolate covered cranberries, raisins, or peanuts
• Trail mix
• Fitness DVDs
• Fruit jams with a fancy jam spreader
• Granola bars

 • Makeup
• Nail Polish

• A potted plant
• Small picture frames
• Health and fitness magazines
• Herbal teas and a mug
• A CD of relaxing music

For the Kids
• coloring books
• colored pencils

 • puzzles
• small toys
• stuffed bunnies
• stickers
• magnets
• disposable camera
• packet of seeds and gardening tools
• plastic eggs filled with coins or beads

 • Silly Putty
• pastel- colored socks
• jewelry
• toy cars

Do you still get an Easter Basket?
What do you love getting in your Easter basket?
What do you like filling kids Easter baskets with?

Here are my Easter Baskets from my Mum from last year.

It\’s that time of the year again… baseball season. Are you a fan? I absolutely love baseball, being from Michigan I am definitely a Detroit Tigers fan! While in Victoria Secret I noticed that their Major League Baseball Pink collection has expanded, and gotten cuter. Pink Big League Love.

Who is your favorite Baseball Team?
