Tween Girl Easter Bakset

Today I'm sharing a quick list of finds that would be perfect for filling up a Tween girl Easter basket - and if I'm being honest I'd be absolutely fine with it if someone wanted to fill up a basket for me with any of these items ;)  (you can click on the items the image below to go directly to the linked item)

 

It wouldn't be Eatser without a Jellycat bunny - they're the softest and sweetest stuffed animals and I stand by the statement that you're never too old for one.

Everyone is LOVING pickleball and this set of paddles couldn't be cuter. 

I LOVE Laneige products and am assured by the tween girls I know and love that they would be excited for this to be in their basket.

We have a polaroid camera and LOVE snapping pics on it and having the immediate prints.  Perfect for all the upcoming Spring occasions and summer travel.

This Owala bottle is a darling color combo.

I use these Maree eye patches multiple times and week and LOVE THEM!

We know that teen and tween girls are ALL ABOUT the self care and this package of shower steamers would be a great alternative to a bath bomb if she's more of a shower girly than a bath one. 

Every girl needs a fresh pair of flip flops for Spring and these are PERFECT.

Sol de Janeiro.... need I say more ;) I do love that this set gives them a little bit of everything and would be perfect for traveling.

I taught a bunch of my 8th grade girls how to make knotted embroidery floss bracelets - they're simple and quick and don't require beads and wire and elastic - I love that they can safety pin them to their backpacks and work on them whenever and wherever.  This kit would give them everything they need to make a BUNCH!

Other fun finds include mildliners...


... a tangle teezer brush (I would be willing to bet a large amount of money that more than half the girls in my classes have this brush in their backpacks)...

... a needoh or two (again - no clue why they're all so into these!)...


I do not understand why middle school girls are into the My Tiny Baby surprise balls but they are...


This tote bag comes in 25+ colors and is UNDER $10!  It's a perfect alternative to the Lulu shopping bags they love to carry ;) and they're cute!


This deodorant spray is a win for everyone ;) 

Happy Thursday, friends!!!

Homemade Honey Mustard

I LOOOOVE a good honey mustard on a sandwich (I'm not super into it as a dipping sauce BUT I LOVE it on a club!) and after making my own can't go back to store bought.  It's so easy to make and makes the perfect amount without being a TON.

Mason's Room Update

Back in December Mason decided he was officially done with his loft bed and a mini room redo happened pretty quickly after that because mama was NOT a fan of the loft bed ;) hahaha

This is his room from the door now....

Creamy Potato Soup

I shared this recipe back in the Fall, but as it gets a bit warmer here in Texas and I try to sneak in as many soups as I can before it's too hot for them I wanted to repost and PROMISE you that this is one of the best soups EVER!  Try it and let me know what you think!

Happy Friday, friends! The top of my FAVORITES list was my girls trip to Savannah last weekend and since getting home I've pretty much hit the ground running and had a crazy busy week.  I had SO MUCH FUN with these girls and I promise I'll share more at some point - but that point is not today because I've had zero time to go through pics in our shared album ;) hahaha

Reading Recap

The Favorites

This was my latest listen and I LOVED IT SO MUCH!!! It was such a fun read before the Olympics and I was absolutely sucked in from the get go. I loved the peek "behind the curtain" of ice dancing and while it was a bit overdramatic at times (think Magnolia Parks) I couldn't get enough. Totally unique and a great read this Winter!
