My Birthday and Easter

With the school's new "Balanced Calendar", I am almost guaranteed to have spring break over my birthday each year! Woo! This year, Jake and I went on a little adventure in the Fairfield, OH area. I have wanted to take a trip to IKEA for months now, so I used my birthday as a great excuse to get there. :) I just love that place. I always leave feeling inspired to redo every room in our house. Plus, I scored a few goodies as well, since it was my birthday and all...

A few days later, we celebrated my birthday and Easter with Mom's side of the family. We ate Aunt Cathy's eclair (aka my birthday cake), hunted Easter eggs (even the big kids!), and enjoyed spending time together. 

The un-icing side is for me. :)

We be huntin' eggs. Word.

Spring Break!

I had a wonderful, glorious two weeks off for Spring Break this year. We didn't go on any big trips, but I had time to do all of those little things I never have the time to fit in during a regular work week. It was my favorite kind of week, really.

I made a dream catcher.

(almost) finished our gallery wall.

Redecorated a bit.

Listened to lots of tunes.

Got cranky because of this white stuff (but it is pretty).

...and read one of my favorites.
