Seriously though, didn’t I JUST write about Valentine’s Day? How is Easter here already!?  Sigh…

We like to keep things pretty chill for Easter in my family. I mean, we do go to church like 37 times, hahaha, but other than that we don’t make big plans.

The kiddos will each get a little basket of treats, and we do an egg hunt. My mother usually joins us for a nice dinner. 

And I try to put out a few fun Easter decorations. This year, I think our tablescape will include a few egg cactus pots, they’re #33 in this list of egg decorating ideas and I think the boys will loooove them!

But I’m also eyeing the marbelized eggs and the ones decorated with gold foil. So many awesome ideas to choose from!

And most of these Easter egg designs would be totally kid-friendly, I’m allll about those mess-free ideas like #7 & #30.

Before you leave, don’t forget to check out the Easter section, I’ve got a few more great posts for Easter including this cute bunny embroidery, and this round up of 24 Cute and Cheap DIY Easter Decorations!
