Easter Basket Ideas, Best Chocolate Chip Muffin Recipe & Spring Traditions
We are only a few weeks away from Easter which was always one of my favorite holidays. I loved the fact that Easter usually marked the beginning of warm spring days ahead and was accompanied by the best brunch (one of my favorite meals), an easter egg hunt, and celebrating the sacrifice Jesus made for our sins. Despite the amazing memories from my childhood Easter celebrations, I’m looking forward even more to Easter this year and celebrating with my kiddos. My oldest, now three, loved Easter last year. This year will be that much sweeter as he understands more the meaning of the holiday. I can’t wait to see his enjoyment from decorating Easter eggs and participating in an Easter egg hunt.
Easter Baskets
Crafting personalized Easter baskets for my children is a tradition I hold close to my heart. After exploring various ideas, I've selected some delightful items for their baskets, and I'm eager to share my finds with you. Whether you're seeking inspiration or looking to incorporate some of these ideas into your own baskets, here's what I've put together:
One of my favorite parts of the holiday is creating a curated Easter basket for each of my kiddos. I have already scoured some of my favorite accounts for ideas and have just placed my order for basket fillers. Whether you're seeking inspiration or looking to incorporate some of these ideas into your own baskets, here's what I've put together:

Easter Brunch
A breakfast buffet has always been one of my favorites and Easter is the best excuse to go all out! This year we are planning on hosting some of our friends for Easter brunch. Although my husband will probably do most of the cooking (he is the “maker” in my family as my son likes to say), I'll be contributing baked goods, including my son's favorite chocolate chip muffins, and setting up a mimosa bar.
I'm excited to share this muffin recipe with you. It's a simple, healthier option that has become a staple in our morning routine. I often bake a batch to freeze, making for a convenient and quick breakfast option.
Let me know if you kids love these muffins as much as mine!
