Always ‘eggcited’ for Easter, our family has our favorite traditions during the spring holiday that usually involves Easter Sunday Mass, an Easter brunch, followed by an Easter egg hunt. Last year, a lot of businesses were shut down and Easter events were cancelled due to covid. We had easter brunch at home and had an easter egg hunt in the backyard. Last year Jonah’s amazing 4th grade teacher surprised her students with easter goodies dropped off outside their homes. This year is also a little different for our family as we are staying in a vacation rental while our new home is being built, so much of how we are living feels temporary. Although we are not in our own home, I think we can still make the holiday just as special with easter baskets I put together for the kids every year, cooking a hearty brunch at home, ordering some of our favorite pastries from Baked!, and still having an Easter egg hunt!

Easter Baskets

I love putting these together for the boys every year and will probably continue to do until they are in college! Can’t go wrong with a simple basket or this cute wire basket that can be used again and utilized in the home throughout the year to store things. I like to fill their baskets with the usual goodies: a chocolate bunny – Kinder makes an awesome version of a chocolate bunny, cotton candy, chocolate eggs, little spring gifts such as garden seeds and garden tools, and a small toy like legos, puzzles, and books. This year, I curated a monocromatic easter basket with all things blue. I especially love the peeps hand sanitizer this year.

Easter Outfits

Easter style for kids and mom for Easter and spring photos!

My go-to for the kids’ festive and everyday attire, Cat & Jack always comes through! Baron wore this to his preschool picture day and he looked so adorable. Baron’s shirt has a bowtie appropriate for a 5-year-old boss, while Jonah’s shirt is big-kid appropriate without the cutsie bowtie, but still looking cool. Both have a really fun spring floral print in light blue.

For spring dresses for us moms, I’m loving the Halia Dress from Heartloom, (shown above in Yellow) worn with sandals or sneakers for a more casual look.

Another spring dress favorite is this lightweight Resa midi dress with side slit and smocked top, worn with pumps or sandals.

Also comes in blush! Would look cute styled with a cream or white bootie:
