Here comes Peter Cottontail

We wanted to give our two year old a great Easter basket without stuffing it full with candy and chocolate. A puzzle, bubbles, and paints fill the majority of his basket this year. We did tuck a few treats inside, and we made sure to finish up our morning with a Lindt bunny hunt.

I love, and I mean LOVE Jamie Oliver. He has a brilliant way of making complex and flavorful dishes so easy. I chose to prepare his 'Best Turkey' recipe this Easter. It definitely lived up to it's name. Ground pork, prosciutto, and apricot stuffing is tucked between the breasts and the skin. Delicious.

Baby's got blue... bathroom.

Easter weekend provided my husband and I the opportunity to get some much needed home reno time in. The first mess we decided to take on was our main bathroom. A very small space (about four feet by five feet), with a blue tub and toilet, terrible blue plastic tub surround, worn linoleum on the floor, and plastic 'base boards'.  It was begging to be updated. First I ripped down the old tub surround and patched the holes beneath. Then I picked up some glossy white ceramic 8 by 10 tiles and went to work. Take a look at the progress so far...
