Spring is in the air over here! I am determined to give Easter it’s time in the limelight this year. The kids love when I decorate the mantel and it’s been quite some time since we changed it up. I only spent $5 on this mantel plus some pretty fresh tulips. I was inspired by the colors of the sweet bunny banner. Isn’t this banner darling? I found it at Target. My dear friend, Natasha, has one hanging in her home, too. And guess what? It’s only $5. You can not beat that. There is no way I would make it for that. The sweet scalloped trim and stitched bunnies would take some serious time. The only thing I did was add a fluffy white cotton tail to each little bunny. I think they look even happier with their white tails. I dab of hot glue and some cotton balls did the trick. I took my daughter’s Crayola water colors and used each color to write out “He is risen” on a piece of white cardstock. I love how it draws out all of the colors of the bunnies. If you are looking for the bunny banner in store, it is with all of the Easter décor {plates, napkins, etc}. or you can scoop it up here online. I was actually really impressed with some of the cute Easter décor at Target this year. I rounded up a few finds to show you below. I know our stores sell out quickly so you may want to make a Target run sooner than later. Or maybe you’ll want to DIY your own! monogram eggs | wreath Will you decorate for Easter? I always appreciate this time of year and the newness that seems to accompany it. It is a beautiful thing.

Must. Resist. Target. I'm dying for a Target run, but until I get more settled I have no business adding more stuff!! 😉 But that wreath is darling…it'd be so cute year-round in S's room. #whoamIkidding #ImtotallygoingtoTarget
Have a great weekend!

Right?! Truth be told I hadn't gone in FOREVER. It's impossible to walk out with some little gem. . . or ten! Have a great weekend.

I love that your kids get excited when you decorate the mantle. That bunny banner is darling and the extra touch of the cute puffy tails make it even more cute. Happy weekend Courtney!

I'm trying to savor the fact that they still love the little things. G kills me. He'll come home from school and notice something I've done and say, "Looks pretty, mommy!" Enjoy your weekend too. Will be a hot one here!!!
