Easter Egg Essentials

I'm not sure the significance of eggs and Easter but they go hand in hand for sure. When I hear the word Easter my mind automatically goes to painting Easter eggs, Easter egg hunts and deviled eggs at Easter lunch. I've never been overly creative when it comes to dying Easter eggs. According to pinterest many people are just that creative though. Here are some of my favorite Easter eggs floating around on the internet.






My eggs are always just dyed a solid color or possibly 2 colors if I'm getting a little crazy. Looks like this year I have some higher standards to try to live up to! Happy Good Friday!

Spring Break Time



I'm writing this post in the middle of the day (like sunlight outside and all). How you ask? Spring break is HERE! Today we had a 1/2 day at school to kick start spring break. We still have parent teacher conferences tonight but come 7pm this girl will be hightailing it out of town. I feel like break has already started even though we still have conferences. I have a few plans for break that I'm looking forward to. 

I'll be participating in The Color Run in Greensboro this weekend 



Easter Sunday 
(I hope it's warm enough to wear an Easter dress!)



A trip to Chetola at Blowing Rock with my best friend- Ashley


Ash and I spent spring break together 2 years ago
 at Disney World. We are 2 peas in a pod for sure. 



and what I'm most excited about.. 
Sleeping in and family time!! 

Hopefully some of you have Good Friday or some time off for Easter as well!

WILW- Breakfast Edition

It's Wednesday which must mean it's time to link up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday! This week I'm theming the post as What I'm Loving: Breakfast Edition. I've been trying to eat healthier and have done well for the most part. One meal I feel like I have down pat is breakfast. I still sometimes run out of healthy lunch, dinner, snack ideas (without repeating the same thing over and over). Breakfast I seem to have enough options to not get bored however. Here are my go to breakfast essentials. 



Kashi Go Lean Cereal 
I like knowing I'm starting my day with a good 
amount of protein/fiber and this has just that! 


Silk- Soy Milk
I'm trying to make the switch to soy milk. So 
 far I can tolerate it but I don't love it. For now though, 
I'm pairing the above cereal with soy milk! 


Eggs
Or sometimes egg whites when I feel like paying the 
extra dollar at the grocery store. This is more of a weekend 
breakfast normally because they aren't as quick as the other options. 


Vanilla Greek Yogurt
Y'all, I'm in love with this yogurt! I could eat it all the time! 


Oatmeal
This is probably what I eat the most of. Maple Brown
Sugar Oatmeal. I've been buying the Weight Control kind. 
It's quick, easy, and yummy! 



They say breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I hope I'm doing okay in that area. What do you eat for a healthy breakfast? Better yet- what do you eat for lunch/dinner/snacks? I'd love more healthy option ideas!
