easter weekend was lovely with some warm weather and sunshine mixed in which was such a treat.
the girls came down on sunday to find their easter baskets filled with chocolates, seed packets, a succulent plant and other little goodies.
we then headed outside for an egg hunt. i had hid the eggs earlier that morning and placed one with a little face drawn on inside the coop. we all laughed when it was found right next to a freshly laid ‘americana’ blue egg.
over by the birdbath the girls found the the basket of confetti eggs (cascarons). this is a tradition that has been carried on since i was a little girl. they are so easy to make. and yes they make one big colorful mess but are so much fun.
i did however keep finding pieces of confetti in my dutch baby at breakfast.
You’re very inspiring, Amy! I love seeing bits of your life and family through your website.
And I’m envious of your chickens. : )
thanks alicia! do i remember correctly that you are not allowed to have chickens in your town? they really are so much fun!
Amy, may I be so bold as to ask what color you use on your wall? Especially the kitchen color. Your home is so peaceful and serene…….Thank you so much for sharing it with us 🙂

hi donna, yes many people ask about the paint colors in my home:) almost every room right now is painted benjamin moore ‘revere pewter’ i really love it’s clean look. i have tried several colors over the years and when i was pregnant with norah i went into major nesting mode and got radical and decided to paint the whole house in very dark warm colors which instantly after i hated. but this color stands to be my favorite so far! the kitchen color has held strong for around 12 years now. my mother’s friend actually faux painted it. its very faintly done and very pretty but it is cracking and there is repair that needs to be done to the walls so next weekend we are planning to paint it. i can’t decide between ‘revere pewter’ or another color similar to the one that is there now which honestly i am not sure of the name. i know it is a mixture of two colors. i will ask my mom if she remembers and get back to you all.
