Good Friday, April 10 – Easter Monday. April 12 – Easter with Isolation as the world is experiencing the Coronavirus Pandemic Globally xo

This year, we will all mostly be in isolation, but there are many positives to this in my eyes. Family time, interacting with your loved ones, sharing special memories and moments before four walls. Time truly is of the essence. Each and every single moment, is there to be soaked up, as we all get back to basics. As together, we make moments and memories to last an entire lifetime. To share our special moments with the ones we care about most. To laugh with them, to share special memories together, to embrace the little things in life. We are so very lucky for that, right now, right here, in the month of April. For we will one day look back on this time in history and we will remember, remember what we did and the moments we shared.

Family Easter craft fun with beautiful sea shells that we collected together xoxo

Good Friday Diary: A Family Day at Home. <3 Baking, crafting and being together. Priceless moments and memories to treasure forever and ever. xo

The day was spent creating memories. The kindness of being in isolation and the little things, I’m doing my best to remind myself of. To not take family for granted. To not take anything for granted. To enjoy all of the little moments. The time with kids, the time with my husband, the time with nature, the time just being still. To embrace the beauty that is life and that is still in the world. <3 xoxox It truly is a special time to be just in the moment. xoxoxox.

Today we made home-made scones with white choc chips and our own caramel sauce, it was delish. I would love to try hot cross buns next. <3 xoxox

Easter Saturday Diary: Today we plan to go to the shops and get some Easter PJ’s for the boys. <3 xxoxoox I think we’ll look at Best n Less, Target or K-Mart. No doubt we’ll find some really cute ones there.

We will also work on our Easter table setting. Brent my hubby and I secretly love working on our special Easter table. It’s always lots of fun. xoxo From the soft bunny toys, through to the special gold place settings, there is a special little something that is included for everyone’s place setting. xo We can’t wait for the Easter Bunny to visit and we have all been good girls and boys. The kids have been on their best behaviour which is lovely to see and they are bursting with excitement for the big man in white with his basket for of Easter eggs and special treats come this Sunday. xo

Easter Sunday Diary: Today is the big day! One of our family favourite days of the year. The day that the kids have been counting down to, just like Xmas, the Easter Bunny has arrived! We’ll enjoy a yummy cooked breakfast and will make the most of seeing the kids little faces light up when the Easter Bunny has arrived! So very special. xoxo I feel that this year will be even more extra special with Oscar being 2 almost 3 this November. xoxo

Easter Monday Diary: The Easter fun will continue but I will likely have to do some work. <3 xoxo I am sure that the boys will all have a wonderful day together, making new memories as we all enjoy the rest of the Easter break. It will be nice to try and get some fresh air today, if we can. xoxox.

Ideas to Make Easter that more Extra Special – An Easter Egg-travaganza! xxoxo Make a special Easter box filled with special goodies, such as a new book to read, a new pair of PJs, a new pair of socks, a new teddy, a new little fork and spoon perhaps to mark Easter for the year, a cookie cutter little shape or a little craft and activity set which they will love. xoxo There are so many great little ideas, and all which will make them smile! xoxo

With the Easter egg hunt, have fun and take the Easter Bunny hunt from inside to outside, incorporating the back garden for lots of hiding spot fun in the sun! xoxo I know for us, with wanting to enjoy as much fresh air as possible at the moment, our Easter Bunny will no doubt pop the eggs in special spots for us, such as the kids cubby house and amongst the flowers! xoxo

Wishing yourself and your family a safe and happy Easter. xo
