June Mind Dump!

8th Jun 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hi everyone and welcome to this weeks blog on Classy Classic’s By Kandis!
This blog let me tell you is a little bit of a hot mess haha like me this week has been just go!

Don’t think, don’t over plan, just go! Sounds crazy right? I agree and I feel the effects of it I tell you.
With the count down to last day of school on, schedules are winding down for activities and other priorities are arising, no wonder my coffee intake has increased haha.

I made a decision to make a mind dump for the month. Yap the whole month!
This will be helpful for the big tasks that will require short spirts over multiple days.
I will of course be using my weekly planner, however with what feels like repeatedly rewriting the same tasks over and over, and feeling like I am accomplishing nothing….even tho as the basic chores still get done, to break the big tasks down into little ones over the week’s, might be more motivating.

That is where the June brain dump came into play, and I like it lol.
Just having that over veiw of bigger tasks on one movable sheet is helpful, instead of big tasks and the breakdown all in the planner gets old!
When I get stuck on what to do or feel things are not getting done, I can see how much closer I am to completing the whole task.
With so many new things to take care of in the short summer months, I need to cross off bigger tasks that can only be done or easier to do in these months.

Have you tried a mind dump?
Do you like them?
What are your big goals for the month?
I am hoping to get many goals done along with summer freezer meals, and the yard, and some more neglected corners done, and the summer routine written out!

I’m planning on pushing through in June, getting as much as I can done, in hopes for a smooth relaxing July!

Be on the lookout for the summer schedule and tips for making it through the summer months with all the kids home!
Do you do summer schedules or just go with it?

Make sure you are following me for lots of day to day posts and fun talks on Facebook under classyclassicsbykandis and Instagram under Kandis Blask! Hope to talk on one of these about all the fun summer can have.
Any topics or ideas you want to talk, ask about or plan for let me know in the comments down below or on one of the pages.
Till next blog have a great week, and stay planning!

Mama Been Busy!

2nd Jun 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Good morning and welcome back to this weeks blog at Classy Classic’s By Kandis! How has your week been? Sun is shining and birds are chirping, and don’t forget the mosquitoes are biting!

This week has been so busy, I realize I say this every week however this week has been more the busy. I have been pushing extra hard to get my May tasks completed! I am proud to say that I have completed them! What were these tasks, that has been following me all month?

I got all my garden planted and tomatoe and pepper plant which are located out side my garden! I also have completely cleaned out our camper. I had moved everything and wiped top to bottom out. I also pulled all the dishes and washed them. Then I got everything put back in place.
Let’s start with the camper talk.

I had used a vinegar and water solution for the outside of the cupboards and bleach water in the cupboards. I broke this up into stages throughout the month. The dishes were pulled out and put into a sled to be washed outside. 😂 All pillows and blankets were pulled and washed also. Big nagging task that I couldn’t be happier to seen the end of.

Now for my garden.❤

I love my garden and it has deffently taken years of learning to get it were it is, with so much more to learn! How ever let me tell you what is planted this year.
It is a more basic garden compared to other years!
I planted this year… carrots, radishes, peas, beans, cucumber, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage,brussels sprouts, beets,onions, lettuce, potatoes, squash, celery, cantaloupe, watermelon, pumkin, tomatoes and peppers.
My tomatoes are located in a raised garden, my pepper plants are in tires along the garden and some by the house! The cantaloupe and watermelon is in tires this year along the garden also!

I am needing to by a couple plants from my local green house as I lost time with the husbands accident which was at the time that I usually start more seeds inside. So I will just purchase them this year!

I completely flipped my garden this year also in hopes for a good year as last year was not a strong garden year, and my freezer showed it.

With these tasks being done there was still house chores, and children to be taken care of.
This was a busy month with some hard tasks that sure took up some time, but now that they are done, they are just that done!
Do you garden?
What do you plant?
Is there anything that you struggle with to grow?
I have more issues with carrots and potatoes!
Got a garden question, ask me in the comments down below or on Facebook under classyclassicsbykandis.

I will be sharing garden tips there as the summer goes on. I have always been on the fight with slugs in my garden, so I have some tricks that help keep them away!
Let me know what garden topics you would like to talk about! I would love to have a chat about it! Weeds are like laundry always there for when you need them haha.

Did I Blink Again!

27th May 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Have you ever looked at the clock and wonder what the heck happened? I sure have almost every day I think lol, I say this lots as my days swirl together. Days go blurry and time just flies out the door with my brain I think!

Hi I’m Kandis and welcome to Classy Classic’s By Kandis, as a stay at home mom of 4 children and a wife to an amazing man for over 10 years, I am not sure why every year I am surprised when summer hours come into play and I’m thrown out of my routine!

I have been sharing my routines this month as I try to revamp them for summer. As the kids are almost done school, things are getting ready to change fast for a couple months, so I don’t get behind I like to do my routines up until school is done and my summer schedule comes I to play. I will be sharing that next month.

However with this routine blog I will be focusing in my times from roughly 4:pm-8:00 pm. In reality it’s usually 4pm or 5 pm and then to 8pm or 9pm. I say it this way because bedtime happens between 8pm and 9pm. It’s a basic time also where not a whole lot occurs so there is not a whole lot of wiggle room.

So 4:00pm kids are home should have their after school stuff taken care of, we finish what was not. If there is activities that run late, then I will have supper ready for 5:00 So we can eat and get ready to go this would be on ball nights.

On a at home night it’s different let’s use this routine talk for a home night.
So prepping supper, and the kids homework. I will try to have then prep their lunch if not done. We will try to go out side or the big kids will.
One kid will usually need to have a shower before supper, we eat on a good day which is what we are thinking is happening ok lol so we eat around 6:00-6:30pm.

Then I will do the dishes up, and wipe down the kitchen. The older kids then have their zone for the night and they do their pick up after supper. This is when I will start getting the little ones ready for bed. Clean up usually runs about 7:00-8:00, this is so much longer then it should take them to do but…… lol.

So Masyn who’s 2 is in bed around 8:30 If he gets a later night big kids are getting ready to climb into bed around 9:00pm.
As I said not a whole lot happens at this time, seedling get taking into a truck for the night, obviously only during certain seasons lol.
So it’s a wonky time I actually say that this time starting at 5pm is the witching hour at our house and it sure is lol.

So I will say sorry for such a blurry routine but any thing can happen at this time but, we will revisit. So, as long as supper is ready, kids are done homework started showers if not gone for baseball, house picked up and kids zones are at least nicer then before, and kids in bed. This is a good evening to me!

So that is my last bigger routine, for the evening as I just have a hand full of stuff I do before I’m done for the night. That is a different blog talk!
What do you do in the late afternoon, evening time?
Let me know in the comments down below or over on Facebook under Classy Classic’s By Kandis, you can also follow me on Instagram under Kandis Blask for day to day fun and ideas.
Until next blog I hope you are revamping your routines with me!
A good routine can make for a very smooth day!
Have a stellar week and I will have a new blog up next week, so make sure you hit that follow button for more chats!

What An Afternoon!

17th May 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hi and good morning welcome back, it’s a great day here on Classy Classic’s By Kandis.

This week’s blog is for afternoon routine. This can be split up between many hours or a couple, it depends on how your afternoons works for you!

When it comes to the afternoon in my house I split it up, my first block is from 1:00 pm-4:00 pm then from 4pm-8pm.

So let’s look at the first from 1:00-4:00 shall we!

My afternoon routine is set up this way because at 1pm is the latest that Masyn my toddler is up, by 1 it’s nap time. If my stars line up then both little ones will nap at this time. So if both kids are napping at the same time I have a couple options here, depending on what season It is and what is on the to do list I will then try to do either my workout or specific cleaning that can only really be done with no children. Example for the month of May is a complete camper clean out.

So my workouts then tend to not happen as I try to work there instead, and if or when I can. Depending also how long the little ones sleep, will depend on what happens.

As you can see my afternoon has little room, I will try to prep or start what I might need to for supper, or get stuff lined up, packed and situated for any after school activities there might be!

Kids get home and they have their routine, not much unpack school bag, snack, homework and get ready to go if there is activities. I try to get them to pack their lunches for the next day also if there is time.

I find these afternoon routines more easy to keep and maintain to help the day out more in the winter months, as we are confined to inside.

So let’s recap and smooth this out, Yes? Little one or if lucky both go for naps. Work out or cleaning project as there is very little chances to do both in this season of life. Supper prep, activities prepped and packed for, kids home from school, and their stuff done.

This will run to the 4:00 If not past depending on what is happening that day. I should point out I am constantly swapping laundry, as I only try to use the clothes line in the summer my last load needs to be out on the line by between 3 and 4pm.

So any time in between I will fold laundry if it’s ready. Those little tasks that are always there are my spare minute fillers. It takes only a short time to fold laundry, pick up a little, wipe the table etc.

With these short hours what I have left to try to accomplish is a fast past if I’m trying to be productive haha.

There you have it what I try to have my early afternoon look like, I need to work on remembering if this does not line up it is ok.

Summer is short and I need to enjoy what I can when I can, because soon we will be inside again and can do what I need to in the house.

This is hard for me as I tend to feel disappointed if everything does not get done. Which yes I realize is possible, I can’t do everything in the house and outside all in one day.

How does your afternoon go? Chill and relax, certain goals, or balls to the wall?

Let me know how you do early afternoon! I would love to hear some ideas to smooth out the afternoon as summer is coming, and we will be outside instead.

Lets help each other to be able to enjoy summer to the fullest this year.

Till next blog have a great afternoon, know matter what your afternoon may entail!

Afternoon routine

Cleaning time… always

Prep supper is I can also any extra for the freezer!

If I’m lucky to be in the right season for workouts lol hopefully more in the winter

So Much To Do!!

10th May 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hi and welcome to the new blog.
Let me first say welcome if you are new don’t forget to hit that follow button for all the upcoming blogs.
Welcome back if you are a follower!
Before I get into this week’s blog on my routine for late morning,
I wanted to take this time to bring your attention to something. Did you notice that the page name has changed?

Instead of It’s A Mom Life it is now Classy Classic’s By Kandis! This has a purpose, as I have added a new exciting chapter in my life.
I now can say that I’m a certified organizer, and super excited about this!
With all that said I will leave other spots to follow me on for more day to day fun. Now with that out of the way let’s get on with the routine blog!

As my first routine ends around 9 am, it deffently can ran past that, with 2 little ones at home I need to remind myself to be flexible.
So let’s say I got my hand full of stuff done, kids off to school and the stars lined up that morning, I then set off to my next “shift” of the morning this is roughly 9-11:30am.

This is cause from 11:30- about 1 is making lunch, tiding up and getting little ones ready for naps so, around 9 I take a coffee break… of coarse, and get the small ones content.

Looking over my day again I then will start with my zone I’m cleaning that day. I try to have the house broke up into zones to tackle every day of the week, this does not usually include daily chores.

For example Mondays I deep clean the bathroom, and Friday I deep clean the floors. If all goes good from 9-10:30 or so is zone cleaning, house pick up, swapping and maybe folding laundry all of this this usually is more till around 11am.
If there is any thing needing to be make like baby wipes or fabric softener I will try to get it out of the way before noon.

When about 11:30 rolled around it’s time to make lunch.
So this is the rest of my morning.

In between taking care of the kiddos. I aim to get one zone tidied, and if lucky one place decluttered, this should take an hour or less to do both. I find that my couple chores before 9 am important if I’m having a crazy day.

Let me know how you like the morning routine blogs?
Do you have a morning routine? Do you break up your morning or have a full morning.

I started breaking up my morning as I have a very busy morning and this helps me not go to hard first thing, and be tired and cranky by noon haha.

Give it a try morning can be hard, make a small list to get your day off to a great start! Till next blog, when I vamp up my afternoon routine have a smooth day!

You can also follow me on Instagram under @kandisblask and on Facebook Classy Classic’s By Kandis 😁

Afternoon list more for after school

Always tiding up the living room

Baby wipes a double batch

Another week with routines!

3rd May 2019 classyclassicsbykandis1 Comment

Good morning everyone and welcome to Its A Mom Life. I am Kandis, a stay at home mom and wife of 4 kiddos and been married for almost 11 years now!
With every child added and seasons changing there is always something new that is occurring.
Some things have to stay the same to have it all happen. This is usually the chores around the house.
Always there, usually the same, as people need to eat, and wear clean clothes…. I’ve been told anyways haha🤣.
So with this week’s blog I thought I would share my routines or some.
Do you have routines that help you stay up with everything?
Do you have one routine or like me multiple routines broken up through out the day?

This week’s blog I thought I would share my morning routine! I have a morning, afternoon and evening routine.
As things are changing in this house, I thought it would be a good week to look over these routines and see what is working and what is not.
As a new season comes and new after school activities starting! This means late night’s for 2 nights of the week!
Why not use this time to make things easier before late summer nights occur and I’m really thrown out of balance.

Let’s start with the morning yes. I am a early riser, with being a stay at ho,e mom for 10 years, I have had years of getting up early.
My morning can make or break my day sometimes. I truly love and even require my coffee mommy time in the a.m.
With my morning routine it is me time until the kids start moving usually, summer is different as I water all the flower beds usually first thing in the morning.
However we are not there yet so my morning routine is not for summer hours yet lol.
Do you get up early in the summer?
Whats your favorite thing about early mornings in the summer?

I love getting everything watered for the day and sitting back with a coffee and my plannner, and getting mentally prepared for the day!
So morning time, I try to be up by 6:30, depending on when the baby gets up to nurse depends if it’s earlier.

My 3 main routines are in plastic covers hung up on my pantry.
This way as things get done it can be crossed off with a dry erase marker, then wiped clean every night to start again in the morning.

With my morning routine it has 2 sides one is the kids list, and then my side.
I typically try to have my morning routine done for around 9:00.
So let’s look at it all shall we!
My morning is usually broke up from 6:30 am to 9:00 am, so I will just go over my side as the kids is mostly just for getting ready for school.

I will wake up, wash my face, I will just enjoy my coffee and planner time until it’s time to get the kids moving.
With breakfast going, we eat, then tidy kitchen, wipe table, sweep, dishes etc, swap laundry, tidy the bathroom, get dressed, make the beds, the little ones first as I can’t always make my bed first thing, pull out supper if it done, i try to fill my diffuser in the living room, and then have a break with my coffee while I plan more of the day.
This is what I am for as it helps to get it out of the way for my next “block” time.

Do you have a morning routine?
Give one a try do remember not everyone’s routine will be the same, you have to find what works for you, done be afraid to try different stuff, until you find what works for you and your family.
I hope this will help motivate you in having a great morning.
Let me know in the comments down below if you like this blog.
I will show my afternoon routine next week.
This is one thst needs work and be rebalance.
With a little routine it can make for a great smooth day.
I love a good morning as I hope to of helped you get the best out of your mornings as well.
Until next blog, have a great day and a smooth morning!

Where did the week go!

29th Apr 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

One week, 7 days, 168 hours, how did it go so fast! Did I blink, get caught up in life or just what?

Good morning I’m Kandis and welcome to Its A Mom Life. My two oldest kids went for Easter break this year, they were gone for a whole week! So what did I do with my time? Well for the weekend we did Easter stuff, go ahead and read my blast from the past post, for the adventures.

Now what about the next 5 days? I had a pretty big to do list happening, I feel I should of shortened it, however there were some stuff I just really needed done! I pushed myself this week to accomplish as much as I could in the end I’m pretty impressed.
Lately I’ve been trying to feel proud of what I got done, instead of dwelling on what I didn’t. I could do so much but if there is anything left, I feel I could of done more, which is silly as I can do a lot in a day! So, yes this is part of my summer goals is to slow down!

So Monday, turned into a city run. Hubby had physio and it turned out we sold one of our cars the night before, it happened to be to one of my old friends.
Waking up Monday, breakfast and cleaning up the house, we headed outside for some play time. Keeping the toddler up hoping he would just sleep in the van.
As we came in had a quick lunch, cleaned up the kitchen. As the husband took off for physio I nursed the baby and got every lined up, to head out with the kids next. Headed down, grabbed some coffee and met up to drop off the car.
Had a great little visit as it’s been a very long time since I had seen my friend. Heading back home around 4:30 got home and jumped right into supper and our night routine.

Tuesday was a nice day at home. However a couple things of coarse changed. Having to make a fast trip into another city I got to drop off lots of clothes to the donation boxes, and had a sale to drop off of girl clothes. Heading back home as we were supposed to visit a good friend that evening. Got home, unloaded, packed snacks and off we went. Once again a great visit that evening it ran even more late, however I happened to buy a frozen pizza in the city so supper was a sinch. Pizza in the oven both kids had baths, masyn had supper as I got the baby ready for bed. Both little ones in bed it was time for some mama time lol.

Wednesday came fast, and it was a good day, with being a home I ended up getting lots more crossed off the list. Again with the hubby gone to the city for physio I stayed home in hope for a productive day. Getting the last 2 tubs folded and organized of boy clothes, I have completed sorted and organizing it all. I have to buy some more vacuum seal bags to completely finish my project and I am so excited and happy about this. The baby had not been napping the last couple days so it was more quick basic tiding that occurred. With supper coming as my husband was just running to the grocery store to pick up some smokie I made with some perogies in the freezer, it was a perfect supper plan for hump day.

Thursday was a early day that was supposed to be a very long car day. With the baby and hubby having doctors appointments we took off for our first city shortly after 9:00am. Getting those done he had a meeting to quickly attend then we were supposed to be off to Edmonton for more meetings. This one did not occur we decided to reschedule the Edmonton stuff for the following week and headed home. Getting home we just hung out, as everyone needed a little regroup and chill time. With supper, baths and of coarse cleaning up done, it was a other day done. However with the kid’s coming home the next day it was panic time as like I said, I feel as tho I should of had more tasks accomplished. So I tackled the dvd’s, and with it being me they are in alphabetical order, but needing some tlc as it had been a long time since they were organized. I spent oh so long, much longer then planned…. this ended up taking 2 hours🤤 but it’s done I guess!

Then Friday was here just like that kids are due home around 1. I quickly vacuumed and finished a couple things. Then headed outside and quickly got the bottles sorted. Almost all done I have glass bottles to bag, and 2 small bags to sort and those are done.
I always sort mine at home to make a fast trip when taking them in! What do you do? Do you sort or have them sort?

With all these tasks done, I have also been looking high and low and relooking and resorting places I should not have redue all for the jolly jumper for the baby. I know it’s here I have had it for 10 years and just seen it! Of coarse the week that I wanted to try it, think I could find it! I will find it!
When the kids got home and settled in,I had to quickly vacuum the basement, this was a goal to finish the basement for April. With some hidden paper work to sort through still, it is done. I am so happy to say I got my basement cleaned!

So that was a week in the life here! A busy week, filled with goals and tasks, that in the end got done. With 2 kids one who did not want to nap, multiple trips to the city, it was a good week, I will take my done list over my not done as I feel the week was a win!
I hope you had a good Easter break! What tasks did you get done, feeling more ready for May?
Let me know how it went for you April. As we transition into a new month, new goals and new thoughts I hope you will join me in the May adventures here in the house.

Blast From The Past!😎

23rd Apr 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Ever wonder where the time goes? Think if I could go back to then? I had a blast from the past this weekend, and it was fun!

Hi good morning and welcome to Its A Mom Life. This weekend was sure fun, the things that happened with only having the two little ones was a memory one.
I say it like this because my last 2 kids are the same age difference as my 2 oldest ones.

Saturday not only was everyone sleeping including me till 7:30 it was such a nice pace morning. Heading out around noon for a drive, we found ourselves an adventure! Meeting up with some friends and meeting new lead us to a drive in an army truck! Heading home at 5 with supper planned already from the morning it was not on schedule but with little ones it’s ok! Heading into supper time, plans change yet again.
For the better I think as we decide on left overs and just roll supper over to the next night. Since there is only little kids we got to kinda choose when to do Easter, so we will prep for it Sunday night instead. With supper in the bellies the kids got their baths, I got the house cleaned as masyn played. Waking up to a clean house is a wonderful thing, addicting even I think.

So what will Sunday have in store for us to do before we do Easter stuff? Oh the ideas go on.

Sunday turned into such a productive day, chores done I had an opportunity to do extra, and I took it lol. As they were happy in the morning hanging out I quickly made some chocolates and chocolate covered strawberries, I will be uploading a post about this and how I made them! Lots got accomplished would you believe both kids napped not only at the same time but for almost 3 hours.😨 getting a bunch of sorting done with the kid clothes this endless task is getting close to the end. Each size is categorized and stored in vaccuum seal bags,in these blue tubs! I will absolutely be sharing this when it is completely said and done. With supper just rolled over from the night before, it was all a sinch getting the evening rolling. Everyone got to hang outside for a bit and get some fresh air, I even got some work done in the camper. Just a little but every little bit counts yes? Garbage out and what is stored in there for summer put away. It was a good start to it all. With supper done, baths and cleaning taken care of.
It was a awesome day, with so much getting done. With kids asleep I got to just hang out with the hubby, not needing to do a workout, as Sunday is my rest day we just chilled and got the Easter stuff done.

Yap that was my Easter weekend with only the 2 little ones.
How was your Easter weekend?

House Is Ready!💪👌👏

20th Apr 2019 classyclassicsbykandisLeave a comment

Hello and hoppy soon Easter! Welcome to this in the week life blog. I am excited to share my week, it was productive this round. Hopefully it will give you some motivation for some spring break cleaning! Make sure to follow for updates on more motivating cleaning coming as spring is here!

After a great Sunday Prep Day, everything was set up for a great week, and it really was.

Monday was filled with house work. Getting laundry done… yet again! House wiped down and floors cleaned, I was ready to move on.
Monday is when I started tacking the van! With four kids it’s always full of crumbs and grossness. I set out to at least get it vacuumed, and I did, it didn’t get wiped out, but a good vacuum. That task that takes forever is a little easier with our van I can fold down all the seats, making it easier to vacuum.
However it makes it longer as there is so much room under the seats when they are put up. So easier yes but more corners.
But, it got done 👌💪I got it out of the way as for the house it will get completely cleaned at the end of the week when two kid’s are leaving!

Tuesday consisted of sorting baby toys and more kid clothes that are being gathered from all corners, washed and sorted as the boys as they keep growing.
Poor kids with having an older brother then two boys, they will never need new clothes! 😂🤣 with going back on track I have more motivation to get the little bit finished in the shed and garage.
Then to finish strong in organizing the basement. This is a task for the break when I have a couple less kids here lol.
Getting Easter stuff ready look for my Easter blog to see what the kid’s got this year! The two oldest ones are going for the week 😁 so getting them packed was done.

Wednesday… hump day! I find my motivation to be more slow if I don’t push myself a little extra. However if I can push through it tends to be a good day. With kids having activities and the hubby at a physio appointment, supper would be late as it always was Wednesday’s, it can help some nights tho.
Deciding on pulling stuff from the freezer I made a Shepards pie, as I had a bag of frozen mashed potatoes that needed to be used up!
There is usually left overs so supper Thursday was covered then.
As far as tasks went Wednesday it was more finishing up my tasks as the ending to them was to close to stop.

Thursday we ended up heading to an appointment for masyn’s fluoride treatment just in the town over from us.
Got bills paid 😣 always a love hate task there.
Then just cleaned the house up and finished packing the kids bags.

Friday rolling in, it was a great morning! The baby who is now 3 months old slept almost 11 hours straight 😇 the 2 older kid’s got up and didn’t start to instantly fight, and masyn the toddler slept in and woke up sooooo freaking content. Yap picture perfect morning I tell ya!
So I made a double batch of pancake batter I had a plan. This plan did not work out for me!
I was going to use cookie cutters to make Easter pancakes however it just sticks in the cutters so plan B it was.
I just wrote out hoppy Easter in pancakes and called it good enough!🙄 Tooth brushes packed and vitamins, hair brush the last of it.
Grandparents come, we had a awesome visit, masyn loved playing outside with grandpa, and Dawson the baby got to hang out and nap in a rocker I pulled from the shed.
With there only being 2 little ones here it’s quiet and different.
I hope everyone had a great week.
Did you get lots done?
Ready for Easter?

Easter Is Coming! Baskets under $20 each!

20th Apr 2019 classyclassicsbykandis2 Comments

Good morning everyone and welcome to Its A Mom Life. This is a funner blog, as it’s about candy!! Well ok it’s about the kids Easter baskets, but still candy lol.

I had set out this year that they don’t need much junk food 😂. Then like a kid in a candy store I went into bulk barn and got more candy then I thought.
Do you have this problem that couple scoops really don’t look like much in the bag?
I also hit the dollar tree, for so much fun non candy stuff.

This year is different as my 2 older kid’s are not home this year for Easter. They are heading to their grandparents, so I still ended up getting stuff. I thought it would be a cute idea to have some Easter surprises on their pillows for when they got home. Of coarse I had to send something as I’m just that type of mom.

So what to send what to keep at home. I found these adorable egg containers at the dollar tree and used them to put the candy in. This is what is being sent cause you send the candy and keep the no sugar activities for home haha!

There is one for my daughter and one for my oldest son more full of candy then planned but filled and ready to go. Then they have the other pile of coloring stuff, and one fun thing for each with a couple things for candy, not like the jumbo candy filled eggs. Lol dang bulk barn I tell you!😂😮

So where to start, I layed everything out, and sorted it to what is what. Candy one place, toys the other.
The egg containers and then my toddlers basket.
As for the baby he just got a teddy bear, but what do you get a 3 month old for Easter?

So Masyn my two year old got a bag of candy as I just put all his together in a bag for his basket. I am not using any basket grass with him, as he EATS EVERYRHING! He did get stickers, coloring books, beach ball, bubble blower, an apron and just some fun little kid stuff.

The older kid’s eggs got filled then bagged, to go. They have a color wonder book, a chicken that lays gum balls, a sucker, 4 pezz each and then my daughter got a beautiful fan and my son got a new pair of sunglasses. These will be for on their pillow.

I also bought white and dark chocolate squares, to make some fun chocolate, I will show if I end up getting them done! That about wrappes up the Easter haul for this house.
How did you do on Easter stuff?
Did you make items or buy them? Staying home or travelling?
