The Easter Bunny stopped by our house and Skylar woke up on Sunday morning to some goodies that I picked up last week that the Easter Bunny brought her.
She was all over the Dora phone as I suspected she would be.
Thrilled about it!
She told me now she can text all her friends. She’s four.
Soon she’ll be showing me how to use my iPhone.
She cuddled right up with the stuffed bunny.
And he hops, too.
She was so happy that The Bunny stopped by our house that she didn’t even miss the candy I forgot to buy to include in her basket. Whoops! But love it when things work out that way.
The weather was sunny and nice here on Saturday. A little chilly by my standards (low 60s and windy) but it could be far worse. Like Sunday. It was cold, overcast, rainy, and dreary on Sunday.
I spotted this bright flower on a run on Saturday.
It’s so vibrant it almost looks fake to me! Don’t the colors found in nature just amaze you sometimes?
Another thing that amazed me was that Target was closed! I know it’s a holiday and all but I don’t remember Target ever closing for Easter, then again I don’t keep tabs on it, either.
I was putting off a Target run to replenish things like body wash, toilet paper, and chapstick because my last trip there was really just to buy Easter basket making items. Oh well, there’s always tomorrow.
From my last post about Chocolate Coconut Kale Chips, I’m glad they looked good to many of you. Not everyone’s cup of tea, I realize, but I assure you, they are great and the combo of chocolate and coconut with kale totally works. I did a product review on some storebought chocolate kale chips but I prefer my recipe since it’s more chocolaty and less “healthy” tasting than the storebought kale chips were.
I would not say “oh, so good” if they weren’t. No way! I love sugar, chocolate and rich food and would not steer you wrong. I got lots of “interestings” in the comments on the post so just wanted to say they really are good!
The recipe and pictures appealed to Foodgawker and Tasteologie which is an honor for me.
My love of photography helps fuel me to create recipes and photograph them as beautifully as I can, and when my photos are accepted, it inspires me to keep going and keep learning and trying to improve!
If chocolate kale isn’t your thing, how about just Raw Vegan Coconut Oil Chocolate?
Questions:
1. Best thing you did or ate over the weekend?
Seeing Skylar’s excitement about what the Bunny brought her was the best thing, for sure.
Reminds me of her excitement Christmas morning in Aruba seeing what Santa brought her.
2. Did you celebrate Easter? Any fun stories?
I grew up celebrating it, but Scott didn’t, as I explained.
We celebrate both Christian and Jewish holidays in our house, just in very loose ways. We keep try to keep holidays light, easy, and stress-free.
3. Did the Easter Bunny or anyone bring you anything fun?
No flowers, chocolate, candy, Easter baskets, or anything special for me this year. That’s ok though because seeing how happy Skylar was over her little items was all I needed.
Enjoy your week!
P.S. If you’re just catching up on posts from the weekend, here are mine since Friday:
oh ate so much over the week-end!! a lot of cake was consumed which is always a good thing!! skylar looks so happy in those pics!
LOOOVE the cell phone pictures! I’m not sure why all little kids are obsessed with phones. It’s adorable, though! The Easter Bunny brought Skylar some awesome loot!
She’s such a cutie. Love how excited kids can get over the little things.
awww – Skylar looks SO excited for that phone :)
This weekend was great!! I think just relaxing at home was the highlight of it…and celebrating my sis-in-law’s birthday. Oh, and getting the amazing graduation/Easter present my parents gave me :) As for the best thing I ate…anything and everything that included sugar. I’m so stoked to have dessert back in my life :D
I looks like your daughter had a fabulous Easter! Adorable.
The pics are SO SWEET of her! Just a beauty and a princess she is!!!! I am so glad she loved what the easter bunny brought her ; )
I got a basket with a kindle book light, itunes gift card, a new point and shoot camera, and other goodies! We had a very nice and laid back easter here!
Love ya Averie!!!
Skylar is such a doll….I had to comment! Glad you had a good Easter!!!
Aw :) Those pictures of Skylar melt my heart. She looks so excited. And I’m thrilled she will be able to “text” all her friends now ;). The picture of that flower is unreal. Nature can be amazing. Best thing I did this week= my baby shower. Best thing I ate…oww toss up- either the parfait at my shower or the fruit salad I had yesterday. I just love fruit. Didn’t get anything from the bunny, but got more than enough at the shower ;)
Looks like Skylar had a great Easter! I hope you had a beautiful day Averie!
Skylar is THE CUTEST. (I think I’ve said that before!) Seriously though, that smile is so full of joy. What a good mama you are!
And WOW, what a stunning flower. So vibrant. Hello springtime!
Skylar is growing up so fast! So cute with her play phone… glad she loved it. :) And that flower is amazing!!! What a gorgeous photo!
I stayed at my apartment this weekend since I had a lot of schoolwork to get done, but I enjoyed the holiday nonetheless! :)
oh, love skylar’s expressions as she’s opening her easter bunny treats! what a cutie!
if she gets tired of the dora phone, you know where to send it! :)

stores up here were all closed to…i think it’s actually nice that we still shut down most retail stores for christmas, easter…
happy monday!
SO glad you guys had a great Easter! I LOVE that vibrant flower. The Easter bunny (my dad) brought my dark chocolate covered pomegranate pieces!
Kids are the best part bout Easter – they get so pumped about the baskets!
The best thing I ate was a spinach bread pudding I made. And the limoncello champagne cocktails. :)
Aww, Skylar is so cute!! She looks like such a happy little girl. :) I could totally go for some of that raw chocolate and I’d be all over the kale. Yum!
