Move over winter - it is finally Spring!

This Peter Rabbit-inspired Easter shoot was a beautiful celebration of springtime elegance and charm. The creative vision behind it all came from the sweetest, Soiree by Ria, who thoughtfully brought together an incredible team to design a setting that felt both timeless and playful. Light blue, ivory, and natural wood tones created a soft, welcoming palette that let each detail shine, including some from yours truly. Every sweet moment was captured by Camila Margotta Photo, from the whimsical desserts styled by Bake Haus SD to the lush, romantic florals by Priscilla Arce Florals. This party would be so cute for a holiday gathering, a first birthday, or even a baby shower.

Working with Soiree by Ria is always such a joy. Her creativity and thoughtful attention to detail make every project feel like something truly special.

We’ve had the pleasure of teaming up with her a few times now, and each time feels like creating magic with a friend. She has that rare gift of seeing the big picture while making space for every small detail to shine.

The florals were pure spring magic. The soft whites, creamy layers, and the most delicate touches of blue that tied everything together perfectly. Priscilla Arce has such a gift for making floral arrangements feel both fresh and timeless. Nestled in each place setting were our engraved wooden egg place cards, and I have to say, they always bring such a sweet and personal moment to the table. Seeing our work styled in this way always makes my heart skip a little beat.

The dessert table, lovingly styled and baked by Bake Haus, was a total dream. A soft blue and white cake stole the show with delicate fondant ribbon bows wrapped around each tier. Surrounding it were rows of pretty pastel macarons, dainty little pastries, and cookies displayed on elegant tiers. Our engraved bunny cake topper added the sweetest finishing touch to this picture-perfect spread.

Fiesta Events brought the sweetest springtime charm to the party with their gorgeous wooden tables and wishbone chairs—so simple, so elegant, and so perfect for the season. Their white wooden bar made the dessert display feel extra special. Behind it all, Motion Laser Design created a custom backdrop that stole the show with its mix of classic blue gingham and a soft, toile-inspired print. We added our engraved Hoppy Easter sign to the top to bring the whole scene together.

Camila Margotta Photo made this Peter Rabbit dream come to life in the most magical way. Her talent for capturing softness, movement, and story is unmatched. Every detail, from the eggs to the blooms to the bows, was seen through her lens with such care and creativity. We’re always so grateful to work with creatives who bring soul to their craft, and Camila does exactly that.

To add a little whimsy to the drinks, we designed engraved bunny stir sticks featuring the same elegant toile print as the backdrop. It's those thoughtful touches that make an event feel extra special—and these might just be our favorite detail of the day.

There’s something really special about coming together with other creatives to bring a shared vision to life. Styled shoots like this aren’t just about pretty details—they’re about connection, community, and showing up for one another. As small business owners, we know the challenges of doing this work in today’s world, and collaborating with others who truly get it is both grounding and energizing. It’s a reminder that we’re not doing this alone.

Yesterday was Easter Sunday. The weather was gorgeous! Evelyn had been excited to visit all of her cousins for the last week. I was excited to see family and catch up with them. I posted this super cute photo of my family in our Easter wear. I grabbed some pictures of the Easter cake I made for dinner that night with my in-laws, and we grabbed a couple of pictures of the girls wearing the sunglasses the Easter bunny brought them.

By all accounts, it looks like we had a great Easter holiday. And really, we did. We had a nice day. However, the picture above is completely misleading.

Evelyn was sick. She tested negative for the other thing, it is just a really nasty cold. But it was enough that we had to cancel all of our plans for the day. We stayed home and she rested and allowed her body to fight this virus.

She was pretty tired, although she mustered a little bit of energy to be excited about her Easter basket from the Easter bunny and a quick mini egg hunt we threw together for her. However, after that, she went back to sitting under a blankie on the couch. Poor kiddo.

I have two pounds of bacon in my fridge that I was supposed to bring to the brunch at my mom’s house. I have desserts for 8 people for the dinner at my in-laws house Easter night. I have a bunch of Easter baskets for friends and cousins that didn’t get delivered and are still in my laundry room.

The reason I am telling you all this is to remind you that Instagram and social media is just a highlight reel. It is almost never an accurate depiction of someone’s life entirely. I am very guarded with my girls’ privacy. I ONLY ever intend to post the highlights because I am personally not comfortable with posting anything else that might follow them around forever on the internet. So I just post the good. However, I hate to think I’m part of this narrative that I have everything together. That my girls are always perfect angels or that we never have hiccups or bad days. We do. Occasionally, I even feel like that is all we have. We have meltdowns, we have medical issues, I have days where nothing seems to go right. That is all rarely seen on social media but it is there.

The pressure on mums, specifically, on social media during holidays is intense. We want these perfectly curated Easter baskets, with the beautiful put-together charcuterie boards, and don’t forget the boomerang of the mimosa toast at brunch. I am 1000% guilty of all of those. I don’t know that there is anything wrong with all of that either. Why not aim for a great holiday? However, sometimes…it just isn’t meant to be and we should be okay with that too.

Evelyn wanted to wear her Easter dress and I originally thought no. Why risk getting a brand new dress dirty if we were just going to stay home right? Then I decided to go ahead and let her wear it. So we pulled of the tags, and then quickly grab a few family pictures. I’m glad we did that. Otherwise we wouldn’t have this gem of a picture of both girls.

So again, I hope you always remember that social media is the highlight reel. It’s not at all representative of the reality. These pictures were all taken within a span of 10 minutes and then we all put back on our loungewear and had a quiet day.

It was still a wonderful day with my family, even though it was different from how I thought the day was going to go. But wonderful all the same and we felt blessed.

Spring is just a few weeks away and we couldn’t be more ready for it! I’m ready for the flowers, the warmer temperatures, and more daylight!

We are so excited to be launching a new product this week.

Our personalized wooden eggs are perfect for any Easter basket, hostess gift, or place card for your holiday table. Since this is our first year selling these, we’ve limited our availability. There is a possibility of a restock but we wouldn’t count on it.

So don’t wait if you want one, get your order in as soon as you can!
