MBZ – WIFE MOTHER DAUGHTER SELF

Easter Basket Prep. 🐰 Way back when I was prepping for my son’s first Easter, I thought about what traditions I wanted to start. As I walked the aisles of plastic baskets, plastic grass and plastic toys, I knew one tradition I would have- a reusable Easter Basket. 🐰 The basket was a gift from my best friend at her wedding. My son was one month old at the time. She became his Godmother. Every year the basket comes out a week before Easter. 🧺 When my son was little, I would design the basket with paper grass, paper dragonfly’s and paper flowers. Then after Easter the basket would go back in a bin to wait another year. . . You might think, oh another bin in the basement/garage/attic. What I see is another bin of stuff not going into landfill. Another year of reusing and the memories made. . We are into the 8th year of doing this. I started with 6 dragonfly’s, we are down to two. I started with blue and yellow paper grass. We have added light blue, pink and light yellow grass. 🧺 My son now designs his own basket. He has asked for some new things for his Easter Basket design. I said next year we will add new things. Let’s think about what should be added. He agreed. . We do the same thing for our Easter Egg Hunt. Awhile back I purchased @eco.eggs Which are made from 💯 recycled material. We leave a bag out for the Easter Bunny with the basket on Easter Eve. The bunny magically fills the eggs and hides them in the night. Again these eggs will go in the Easter Bin after the weekend is over to wait another year. We have been doing this for over four years. . We love Celebrating the holidays. We also love this earth. We have found our balance. . . . . . #easterbasket #easterprep #design #wifemotherdaughterself #thisismylife #parentinghack #reusereducerecycle #upcycle #reuse easteridea #parenting #parentingtips #memoriesinthemaking #easterbunny #respecttheearth
