The sun is shining, my belly is full, and it’s shaping up to be a pretty awesome day. I’m getting ready to head off to church right away before going over to my parents’ for brunch and dinner, but I just wanted to pop in quickly and wish you guys a Happy Easter before I go; and if you don’t celebrate, then I hope you’re having an amazing Sunday and partaking in at least some of the festivities by enjoying some candy and chocolate…
I’m feeling ridiculously sappy and sentimental this morning, so in an effort to save myself some embarrassment I’m going to cut this post short and come back tomorrow with a recap of the weekend.
Happy Easter/Sunday, friends! What’s your favorite Easter candy/tradition?
Heather @ Kiss My Broccoli
My family doesn’t really have a lot of holiday traditions, but I was lucky enough this year to be able to spend it with some of my extended family at my grandmother’s. It was great…especially since I haven’t seen most of them since around Christmas! I’m really hoping after the weather warms up a bit more that we’ll be able to plan more activities together!
I actually really like dyeing eggs…but I haven’t done it in YEARS! Hmm, maybe I should try to find a kit at the store since everything is so cheap right now? 😉
Chelsea @ One Healthy Munchkin
Happy Easter girl! I hope you had a wonderful time with your parents. 🙂
I’ve never seen that brand of chocolate anywhere! Are they peanut/nut free? My favourite Easter candy are mini eggs and I definitely ate a lot of those this weekend. 😀 My favourite tradition is just having dinner with my extended family.

They may contain traces of tree nuts, but I haven’t ever had any problems with them.

I’ve got to say I love peeps 🙂 Haha. Sure they’re not the most amazing things tastewise, but they’re so cute I can never pass them up
Sara @ Nourish and Flourish
Happy Easter, Amanda!! I hope your day was filled with joy!
Favorite Easter candy: you already know this, but it’s a tie between Reese’s eggs and Peeps. Favorite tradition: definitely hunting for Easter baskets at the crack of dawn on Easter morning. The bunny would hide them in some pretty strange places. One year, it took me 30+ minutes before I found mine in the oven. 🙂
Jessie
I hope you had a fabulous Easter weekend dear! Can’t wait to hear all about the recap.
Favorite Easter Candy: The reeses’s pb easter eggs.. yum!
Victoria @ Reluctantly Skinny
My family has been doing brunch for the past few years and it’s becoming our favorite. We’re not real “dinner party” people, so good food, mimosas, and some outdoor games is usually the best way to go for us!
Sarah @PickyRunner
Happy Easter! I hope you got to enjoy lots of candy and family time! My favorite candy is most definitely starburst jellybeans. There’s something about them that I just can’t get enough of.
Kammie @ Sensual Appeal

Happy Easter, Amanda! Guess what? I was wrong and my mum actually got me a vegan dark chocolate Easter bunny so I didn’t end up empty-handed :).
Alex
Happy Easter!
I live in NY but I am German and my favorite Easter tradition is actually the super tasty vanilla cake in the shape of a lamb that we eat on Easter morning for breakfast. I took me quite some effort to track down a cake mold in lamb shape (and my husband still thinks it’s weird..) but I love it and Easter wouldn’t feel right without it.
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
That’s awesome! I’m Polish, and although we’ve never baked our own lamb shaped cake, we buy one from the store every year.

Aww! Happy Easter! Have an amazing time with your parents.
I’m stuck in Los Angeles working all day but I’ll be wishing I was at home with my family. And I’m definitely planning to stop by the drugstore on my way home this evening to pick up an Easter treat for myself. It’s not a holiday without some chocolate!
Amanda @ .running with spoons.
And it’s even better when you can really stock up on discount post-holiday chocolate
