Tween Girl Easter Bakset

Today I'm sharing a quick list of Amazon finds that would be perfect for filling up a Tween girl Easter basket - and if I'm being honest I'd be absolutely fine with it if someone wanted to fill up a basket for me with any of these items ;)  (you can click on the items the image below to go directly to the linked item)

 

It wouldn't be Eatser without a Jellycat bunny - they're the softest and sweetest stuffed animals and I stand by the statement that you're never too old for one.

Everyone is LOVING pickleball and this set of paddles couldn't be cuter. 

I LOVE Laneige products and am assured by the tween girls I know and love that they would be excited for this to be in their basket.

We have a polaroid camera and LOVE snapping pics on it and having the immediate prints.  Perfect for all the upcoming Spring occasions and summer travel.

This Owala bottle is a darling color combo.

I use these Maree eye patches multiple times and week and LOVE THEM!

We know that teen and tween girls are ALL ABOUT the self care and this package of shower steamers would be a great alternative to a bath bomb if she's more of a shower girly than a bath one. 

Every girl needs a fresh pair of flip flops for Spring and these are PERFECT.

Sol de Janeiro.... need I say more ;) I do love that this set gives them a little bit of everything and would be perfect for traveling.

I taught a bunch of my 8th grade girls how to make knotted embroidery floss bracelets - they're simple and quick and don't require beads and wire and elastic - I love that they can safety pin them to their backpacks and work on them whenever and wherever.  This kit would give them everything they need to make a BUNCH!

Happy Monday, friends!

PS - Shoutout to Amazon for partnering with me on this post!

St. Patricks Day-Spiration ;)

St. Patrick's Day is right around the corner and while we don't go all out I do like to do a little something whether it's a special dinner or dessert and when my kids were younger I definitely tried to have an activity or two on deck for them.  Today I'm sharing a couple of simple ideas in case you're wanting to plan something special for Monday.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

 On our recent road trip to Louisiana Luke and I stopped in at Buc-ees and I grabbed a package of oatmeal raisin cookies and Luke and I couldn't stop talking about how good they were and we decided that oatmeal raisin cookies are both of our FAVORITE cookies.  That had me thinking about why I don't think I've ever made them or ever made them WELL.  With Luke heading to San Antonio this week I wanted to send him off with something he'd be really excited about so I made this recipe and OH MY WORD they're HEAVENLY!

Strawberry Cream Cheese Bread

I was on a baking kick the other day and had some strawberries I needed to use so I decided to try out a strawberry cream cheese bread recipe and OH MY WORD it was SO GOOD! It was almost giving like a strawberry danish feel and my family gobbled both loaves up super quick.

Weekend Happies

 This weekend was EXACTLY what I needed.  Low key, sunny, and a time to catch my breath a bit after last week.  Today I'm sharing a few little things that made me extra happy this weekend. 

1) This little scene when I started unpacking my backpack from Big Bend

I only have one FAVORITE this week and that's because Mason and I just got back (last night) from a 5-day trip to Big Bend with his STEM science class.


This trip was INCREDIBLE and such a blessing to get to cap off middle school with Mason on such a high note.  

More thoughts and FAVES next week once I'm showered, clean and more-rested than I currently am after traveling with middle schoolers and sleeping in a tent for 5 days ;)

HAPPY Friday, friends!!!
