as the holiday weekend draws near, i have been dreaming of sweet things…as a working mama, i am oh so busy….so when ever i get the chance, (a la holidays and such) I LOVE to spoil my children…this easter i am thinking beautiful jars full of  beautiful things to eat…i have been spending my evenings scouring the WILLIAMS-SONOMA website & look what i found…i am crushing on these jars & vase & natural baskets & oh the chocolates….i want to surprise my children with a kitchen full of sweetness….the only rule in our house is simple = mama must photograph them first…

since i am feeling so inspired by spring & the sweetness to come in our house this weekend…..i thought i’d share a little sweetness with you….i am happy to announce that one lucky someone is going to win a $150 gift card from WILLIAMS-SONOMA… here is the 411

here is a little secret we do in our house to cut down on the sugar mania…we cook a yummy healthy brunch & dinner on easter sunday….and the kids must eat all their vegetables before they dive into their chocolates….this makes me feel like i am being a good mama….and their little tummies can’t handle too many sweets on a full belly….try this in your house….check out this beautiful copper pot i am coveting…i just think anything i cook would taste better in something so pretty….

tell me what you love….xoxo

“Girl it’s only you
Have it your way
And if you want you can decide
And if you’ll have me
I can provide everything that you desire
Said if you get a feeling
Feeling that I am feeling
Won’t you come closer to me baby,
You’ve already got me right
where you want me baby
I just wanna be your man

How does it feel?”
