It's finally here: my Peter Cottontail-come-lately Easter content.  So what if Easter is less than a day away?  There's still plenty of time to get crackin'.  But Tote Trove Lady, you may say, if you're trying to sell a product or be an influencer, then you should really post holiday stuff weeks or even months in advance.  Wait, what's that?  You're (mostly) not trying to become an entrepreneur or social media star?  You can't even influence your baby to stop licking lamps or grabbing your throat?  You just do this to distract yourself from the horrible things going on in the world not to mention inside your own head?  Then, by all means, take as much time as you need.  Heck, take a page out of Blink-182's book and have Halloween on Christmas.  That might be kind of cute, jack-o'-lanterns in Santa hats.

So, Easter.  Despite it being my favorite holiday, I find myself, as I so often do, one egg short of an omelet.  Because it's work, baby, work, baby, work, baby, work right up until the pastel parade.  But fatigue be darned, I love that parade and won't let myself miss it.  So I'm ignoring my grease-grimed stovetop and cobweb-choked stairs and breaking out the bunnies.  This year, I was careful to place them far from the floor, well out of Char Bar's reach.  Because she's suddenly a little crawling machine, and no crumb or knickknack is safe.

Speaking of Charlotte, I found her the sweetest Easter dress.  And myself a pretty sweet skirt.  But more on that post-holiday.

For now I need to sign some cards and bag some gifts.

Because those cobwebs aren't going to weave themselves.

Oh, what a great title to this one. Such a lovely dress and much much more. Such priceless content! So glad to hear Char is on the move. Yes, she might be a climber yet. My first one was and then he learned to stand on his head because that's what his dad would do, then came the flips, climbing of roofs and other stressful moments..of course, you would never ever know that now. Still, I'm learning my husband is a lot like his mother and so is my oldest. They do love the great outdoors. Oh..I'm rambling! Thank you so much for this beautiful Easter post. Wishing you many sweet memories..and your house looks amazing for Easter! Thanks so much for reading and your comments! πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€

So delightful! You are always inspiring! I doubt I wear anything fancy but maybe something floral..just because. At the moment..I just have to pace myself for the day. At least the dip has been made for the veggie tray. I have a feeling I am bringing far too many sweets, but most are prepackaged..so that is probably a plus. Happy Easter Egg hunting..Of course, I ate my chocolate bunny yesterday. It was small and it goes so good with coffee...and cookies that look like cakes for Barbie..speaking of which..I found Barbie Extra #2 from 2020 on Amazon (The Grace Mold which I did not know) which of course...I promised myself..the last Barbie I will ever buy..hahahahaha...πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸ€πŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸŒΈπŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’›πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—πŸ’—

Okay, first off, this post is hilarious!! Your inner monolog segment is gold - "You can't even influence your baby to stop licking lamps or grabbing your throat?" LOL! I truly enjoyed seeing your Easter decorations and your amazing outfits! The first outfit is so full of spring vibes and the second outfit is also stunning; I especially love the skirt and shoes! Can't wait to see the post-holiday looks! πŸ°πŸ’•
