Easter lamb cake

This is an Easter lamb cake that my mom made a few years ago for an Easter brunch. The lamb cake mold was my grandmother’s, so it was extra special.

Wishing you and your family a joyous Easter!

Simple Kids’ Craft :: Glitter Butterfly Garland

glitter butterfly garland - kids craft

My kids made some darling glittery butterflies to help us decorate the house for spring and Easter. Butterflies symbolize new life, which is perfect for the season.

The card stock butterflies were pre-cut and purchased at Michael’s. We used cookie sheets to catch all the glitter, but I’ll be honest… this is a messy project! I’d recommend glitter glue pens if you are concerned about getting glitter everywhere.

To create the butterfly garland, we simply used everyday clothes pins to attached the butterflies to streamers.

Happy spring!

Friday Find: West Elm Summer 2013

Okay, I know. Spring just arrived and I’m rushing you into summer months! But, just had to show you images of what West Elm has in stores now for summer. One trends you’ll see in the collection is the use of vibrant color … from watermelon to lagoon blue there is sure to be a shade you’ll love! Adding a colorful new rug, chair or throw pillow is an easy way to give your home a fresh look for summer.

I’m leading off with my favorite image. I’m in love with these gorgeous silk pillows by Pauline Reyes (below).  A native of Mexico City, Pauline’s pillows were  inspired by the vibrant colors and patterns in the Talavera pots her mom had in the house.

Spring Cleaning Checklist & Essentials

It’s here! Spring has sprung and warmer weather is on its way. This also means that it’s time to start deep cleaning our homes. I know, it’s a drag for many, but schedule the time and complete the project task by task. If you don’t know where to start, Martha Stewart has created a comprehensive spring cleaning checklist for you to download. The task list can be easily tailored to your home.

Before you start cleaning, you’ll need the essentials. I love that so many cleaning products are eco-friendly, help reduce clutter and are made in cheery colors and patterns… just makes the task more fun, don’t you think?
