I know it is difficult to think or buy Easter in these uncertain times, so I made this list of items that you can find on Michaels, HEB or Amazon, they all offer delivery service. I must emphasize that I usually use the same basket every year, and we give something really simple but meaningful. Usually is a sweet treat, something to make art, something to play and something seasonal. Sometimes I add items that we already own like seasonal books, bunny ears, sunglasses, etc. 1.Egg hunt Yard Signs This are super affordable a something simple to make the easter egg hunt…

Lemon Bar Recipe
This is the classic recipe for lemon bars, I made an alteration because I always find the lemon bars too sweet. I reduced the quantity of sugar but I wrote how much sugar you should add if you want them extra sweet. One of the things I love about lemon bars is how easy and few ingredients you need to make it (6 ingredients). So because of those facts I always make the bars with my daughter. Another amazing thing about this recipe, is that you don’t need a mixer, make the crust just using your hands like the old times, and the filling with a whisker. This heirloom recipe…

Raspberry Linzer cookies recipe
This Raspberry Linzer cookies recipe have something special, that you will want to bake another batch as soon as you eat your first batch. The combination of almond with raspberry blend so well plus the subtle touch of lemon gives it an interesting twist. I like making big and small cookies. Why? Because as a breakfast I can have a big cookie with my coffee, but for a quick snack the big one is just too much. So that’s why you will see that I used heart shaped cookies ( the big ones) and circle and squared shaped cookies with a small heart. For the big ones I used a…

They also sell this paper mache mail box set on amazon or at any craft store, but of course they are more expensive. I started by adding two coats of white paint and let it dry completely. I…

Whimsical Ocean Birthday party
This Whimsical Ocean Birthday party was an inspiration of the venue were we celebrate Mia’s 4th birthday. I would’ve never imagine celebrating an Ocean or Under the sea theme for my daughter’s birthday because her birthday it’s in fall, almost winter (November). We celebrated her birthday at an indoor playground were all the decor is Ocean related. We usually have a small birthday party at our house every year, with tons of DIY projects. But this year with a one month old lil sister, that wasn’t a choice for me. So we chose to celebrate at an indoor playground and make it simple but special. Must of the invitations were…
