Easter Basket Ideas

If you're like me, you spend a lot of time thinking of what to put into your child's Easter basket. I don't like to buy junk for the sake of filling a basket and he's too young for candy-filled eggs so I try to put thought into practical items that will get used and/or played with for more than .2 seconds.

I always love seeing what other people are getting and find it so helpful when I'm all out of ideas so hopefully this will help you if you're not sure what to buy. Here's a little peek of what Beckett will be getting in his Easter Basket this year. I've linked everything below the image.

I didn't really have a theme as I was putting together the basket, rather I just chose items that I knew he'd enjoy. I had my heart set on a Beatrix Potter Peter Rabbit book but he found the Trucks book and I couldn't say no. I probably should have rethought the long sleeved pajamas since it's starting to warm up but I bought them in a size larger than what he's currently in so I'm not too worried that they won't get a lot of wear. We already have a Miracle Cup and I love it and have been wanting to get him a new one for a long time. I don't think you can have too many kid-friendly cups (which is why he's getting 4 new cups in his basket. HA! One isn't pictured but came from the dollar section at Target (similar)). We love playing with chalk on the driveway and he has a bath time bubble machine that he adores so I knew both of these items would be so much fun outside on the nice days ahead.

 

If you have a younger one, here are some ideas from our basket last year. (Beckett was just under 1 on Easter last year)

  1. Monogrammed Jellycat Bunny

  2. Football

  3. Bunny Sippy Cup

  4. Toddler Utensils 

  5. Bath Toys

Lincoln - 1 Year

It's hard to believe that our precious baby boy is 1. He still seems like such a baby to us, so much smaller than B was at this age (unless our memories have completely failed us). The day he was born was perfection. It will always be one of my most favorite days ever.  We had very few visitors, at our request (of course big brother had to be there!) and were able to enjoy the full day together since the scheduled c section was early in the morning. It was the sweetest day and I'll never forget how special his birthday was or how happy I felt to have another sweet baby boy to love. The first year went a little differently than B's first year. We didn't co-sleep after 1 month, we only made it to 10 months breastfeeding because of the 3rd pregnancy/miscarriage (which is still a major accomplishment but B went 15 months so of course I had guilt over that), we had a TIME trying to get him to sleep at night.

Baby #2 - Sharing the news

After trying for baby #2 for several months, we were thrilled to find out in October that we'd be welcoming a new baby in 2016! Since we knew exactly how far along I was this time (we had no clue with Beckett, I was about 7 weeks along and had no clue until my doctor had me take a test at his office before prescribing me fertility drugs) we knew we'd wait a few weeks before we shared the news. We decided that since I'd be 11 weeks on Thanksgiving we'd share the news with our families at our dinners. We had the first one on Wednesday evening and it was such a relief to finally start sharing the news. After dinner we went over to my mom's house to share the news with them since our dinner with them wouldn't be until the next evening. I'd made a cute craft with Beckett to make it a little more special for them. [caption id="attachment_512" align="alignnone" width="2787"] The boxes lifted up and under them it said (1) I'm going...

Lincoln Asher - 11 Months

I just can't say enough how sweet this baby is! However, he sure does give us a run for our money sometimes. He is into EVERYTHING these days. Our stacked stone fireplace = his favorite spot to mess around (inside the fireplace!) by getting the rocks out. You should see the grin on his face when he gets a rock and knows he's not supposed to have it. He will hike his little leg up like he's going to try to crawl on it and when we tell him no he will grin and start shaking his head no. He is rotten to the core. Sometimes I don't think I can handle another one after him. He wears us OUT!! haha Weight: 22lbs He's a professional crawler now. I love hearing his little hands smacking across the floor. He loves to eat. He will eat and eat and eat with no end in sight. He'll tear everything off the table in a restaurant in order to get to the bread. :-D He loves rolls, biscuits, bananas, and Popsicles, in addition to his baby food and formula. He's not a fan of...
