Lots of driving, church, food to organize, an egg hunt to prep, a couple of Easter baskets to fill, all on less than 5 hours of sleep. (Where’s that Easter bunny when I need him? I could’ve used a little help!)
Add all of that, on top of all our normal activities and chores, and needless to say – I was one stressed out mama.
So although adorable, these pictures won’t tell the true story of our Easter Sunday.
(Give me all the Zyrtec, Claritin, Allegra, Flonase, and allergy eye drops…)
But I sure do love when the weather starts to get warm and the days start to get longer. We had a pretty mild winter this year, thankfully. I can’t handle cold weather with two kids. Being cooped up in the house day after day? Or putting on 15 layers of clothes to go outside for 5 minutes before the kiddos start whining to go back in? No thanks! I have no idea how moms up north do it. We need to be outside!
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago we were up in Athens for a birthday party and I couldn’t resist taking some pictures of the kids in their new spring clothes.
Every year I request this cake for my birthday and it’s amazing. Light and fluffy, but also creamy and coco-nutty. Perfectly sweet, but not too sweet. And the frosting is dreamy. It’s the BEST!
Want her recipe? Too bad! She’s taking it to her grave. I’m serious! She won’t share it! Maybe if you call her and offer her money, she might reveal her secrets. But good luck. I gave her two perfect grandchildren and she won’t share it with me. So until that recipe is set free, this one will have to do.
