happy april

It's April?!! Already?! It was just March! It feels like it was literally just spring break. And it also feels like right when I got back from spring break, seeing if I could squeeze in another trip to Las Vegas over Easter weekend ;) but alas, it is the last day of Easter weekend, and I've stayed here...Haha.

What I love about April:

Spring! Spring! Spring!

Easter, or in this case (Since Easter was March 31), post-Easter candy sales - you know I'll be stocking up on Reese's Peanut Butter Eggs

Sandals, flip flops, and spring shoes. My pedicure will finally show :)

Longer days, later sunsets

Getting to wear spring clothes

Laying outside on the "warm" days (which is any day above 60 degrees in Spokane)

What do you love about April?

easter sunday

Happy Easter! I hope your day was filled with love, laughter, good people, and some chocolate bunnies.

This morning I went to church and then a midday brunch with some friends. We enjoyed the beautiful sunny weather and spent some time outside.

This was what I wore today:

The kids choir came out on the stage and sang a song at church. It was THE most adorable thing ever!

Hope you had a great holiday!

lilly dresses for easter

I'd love to wear a Lilly Pulitzer dress for Easter, if my bank account currently allowed - the new dresses are so adorable! Instead I'll probably wear this striped dress, this pink one, or this red one on Sunday. But here are some Lilly choices I'd consider:

Henley Dress

Payton Dress

Antonia Dress - this one is my FAVORITE and I loveeee the bow :)

Posey Dress

And some bracelets from Bauble Bar and t+j designs that would add a fabulous touch to the dresses:

Luxe Pink Pave Bracelet

Silver Arrow Cuff

Mint Candy Bangle

take me to the beach

All I want to do right now is be at the beach, toes in the sand, the warm sun on my face. But alas, I am nowhere near a beach, it is almost midnight, and I have a lot of homework to do.

However, the weather forecast says it should get up to 70 this weekend for Easter :) YEAH! That will feel like a heatwave compared to the chilly winter. Even though there won't be a beach nearby, you know I will trade in boots and flats in favor of sandals! (Which reminds me, I should probably get a pedicure....)

Happy Wednesday!

Easter Weekend in Photos

On Sunday I posted a few photos from my phone because I couldn't find my camera photo uploader thing. I forgot it at home (typical...) so here are some more photos from the weekend! Enjoy!

Love the brightly colored Peeps! They outlined the funfetti cake.

It was snowing when we first got there, and while I am a wimp about being cold, it blanketed the cabin beautifully.

The crab boil...so delicious

Eye dyeing!

The very colorful cake

The many empty boxes of Peeps used to decorate the cake

Happy Easter! [a few photos]

Happy Easter! We have been keeping a very busy schedule lately - a schedule chock full of relaxation and celebration! So it's a nice busy instead of crazy-work busy. A few friends and I went to our friend Abbie's family's house for Easter weekend. Last night involved a huge crab boil and egg dyeing and I took some good photos to document it! Unfortunately, I cannot currently find the uploader thing for my camera. :( Here are a few photos from my phone though!

The four of us after church. I had not yet changed into my "comfy clothes," but definitely did right after this photo was taken. We wore our "Easter Best" to church, had a coffee on the way, and went to a wonderful service.

This afternoon we went on a quick hike! It was nice to get moving when my body was so ready to crash and take a nap after the large brunch with chocolate bunnies for dessert. It was a beautiful, sunny afternoon and a nice way to sneak in some exercise while we got to chat.

These warm rolls were amazing. Enough said.

I love this sign! It says, "All Because Two People Fell In Love." So sweet. It makes the home feel even cozier.

Have a wonderful Easter! Enjoy the holiday and celebrating with those you love!
