Instead of the Weekly R.E.P.O.R.T. this week, I thought I would share all things Easter.

Easter has always been one of my favorite holidays. Everything feels lighter with longer days, warmer sunshine, and the kind of beauty that only spring can bring. At its core, it is the most meaningful celebration of my faith and a reminder of truly good news. And alongside that, it is also one of my favorite meals of the year. Spring produce shows up in full color with fresh flavors and bright, aromatic ingredients that make everything feel special without trying too hard. I put this guide together to give you simple, beautiful inspiration for celebrating Easter with your family.

For paid subscribers, I have my full Easter guide with two bonus recipes for Easter breakfast at the bottom including my Easter quiche.


Menu Ideas:

  • Easter quiche (see below!)

  • Ham sandwiches (in the south we call them “funeral sandwiches” IYKYK)

  • A spring salad

  • Carrot cake (I love the Danielle Walker’s in Celebrations)

  • For breakfast: pancakes & breakfast butter (in the Easter Guide)

Easter Brunch Quiche
I love making quiches for lunch! They are so quick to pull together to make for the week. I like to serve it with a simple side salad. It gives “baby food shower” lunch vibes if you know what I mean…

Easter Basket Ideas:

For Easter Baskets, I like to think of items that the kids need for spring and summer as well as books for them to read. Examples might be: swimsuits, new pair of pajamas, spring sandals, some goggles, sidewalk chalk, bows or hair accessories, fun socks, etc.

For older girls, the Hill House x Wet Brush collab is so pretty for a new hair brush and hair accessories.

Check out all my Easter basket ideas here.


Book Ideas:

  • Brightest Day/Darkest Night Family Devotional by Marty Machowski

  • The Country Bunny by Du Bose Heyward

  • Home for a Bunny by Margaret Wise Brown

  • The Easter Egg by Jan Brett

  • The Golden Egg Book by Margaret Wise Brown

  • The Tale of Peter Rabbit by Beatrix Potter

  • The Garden, The Curtain, and The Cross (Tales That Tell the Truth) by Carl Laferton

  • The Lord is my Shepherd by Tasha Tudor

You can find all my favorite faith based books here.


Last Minute Dresses

I know most of us moms think about the kids before we’ve thought about ourselves. We often can leave ourselves to the last minute! I’ve rounded up some cute cotton dresses for spring and Easter. Most are under $100! Check out all of them here.
