Happy Easter Sunday! He has risen!

It was wonderful waking up to every one's beautiful and creative Easter baskets that they planned and put together for their children. This year we choose to take a step back. A step back on the creative baskets full of goodies. A step back on the time spent in the stores searching for the perfect Easter dresses for all tree Daughters. Instead we took that time and put into family time. We spend the weekend just enjoying the true meaning of Palm Sunday. Relaxing and actually enjoying what he sacrificed for us.

The seventh Weekday Mixer was a great success! We had 95 blogs linked up and numerous social media link-ups! We hope that you all had the opportunity to mix and mingle and make some awesome new buddies!

Celeste at Leapfrog and Lipgloss

"Hello and welcome! My name is Celeste and I reside in the suburbs of St. Louis, Missouri. Formally employed in the fashion and beauty industry, I am a married, stay-at-home mom to two imaginative little girls, ages 5 and 7 who keep me on my toes! I decided to create this blog to incorporate two of my main loves: Parenting and my Passion for Fashion and Beauty. Leapfrog meets Lipgloss, if you will! And a healthy dose of everything else in between."

Dana at Chocolate & Sunshine

"I named this blog Chocolate and Sunshine because both make me happy and perhaps they do the same for you. I NEED my chocolate daily (I’m not kidding) and I LOVE every day of sunshine that I can get. Please join me as I share my personal home-decorating photos, design inspiration, suggestions and projects. These include baking, party planning, and holidays. And I can’t wait to see what you all will share with me!"

Vicki at Sweet Tea n' Sunshine

"I am a normal girl originally from Wisconsin and this is my creative outlet; to get my thoughts and inspirations out and share a piece of it with the world. I am married to the man of my dreams! We live a normal happy life and share a home together in the beautiful Sunshine State; I migrated down here 7 years ago. We are two people very much in love and make it a primary goal to keep it that way. We are kids at heart and enjoy spending time with family and friends, doing projects around the house or yard, sports, attending events around town, and volunteering in our city and Church."

Stephanie at From Conference Calls to Meatballs

"I write about food, family and local adventures. Nothing ever seems to go smooth around here, but that is part of the adventure and fun. I have no problem laughing at myself and giving others the opportunity to laugh along with me. While I am not a chef, I do really enjoy sharing food adventures, both in cooking and finding cool places to eat. I have a lot of wonderful professional resources that help me out when needed, and yet sometimes I still crash and burn."
