na-da farm easter baskets...


Easter baskets here on the farm come straight from my kitchen -
(except for jelly beans....which I haven't tried yet)


homemade Bunny Breads filled with chocolate......




"na-da peeps"

(last year they looked like heffalumps)


and little cookie baskets filled with green coconut and natural fruit juice jelly beans



there's also these beauties, which are more for my husband and myself........
~chocolate covered peanut butter eggs with caramel drizzle~


I have my work cut out for me this week with making all those treats, but that's just how it is here.......it's a tradition now, to hand make the baskets........

I'm sure you are all getting ready yourselves.......

isn't getting ready so fun!?!

I love the cleaning.......the baking........the sewing........

I truly feel like I'm a Mama at this time of the year, when I get the privilege to give my kids and husband these special treats.

~Blessings from the farm~

    Since your note to me I've been touring the place - I'm in love! I too want a gypsy wagon bad!! You're one cool mama - I'm very excited about this Barn Sale! I really hope we can make it. I see it is Chicagoland so it would be quite the drive, but hopefully I can do it!

    I am having some of my grandchildren over for the Easter holiday and I think that the bunny bread is a great idea! I am going to try to make them because I was looking for an idea of doing something different for my grandbabies, since the parents are suppling the candy. Have a happy Easter!

    You are incredible. And how I wish I lived close enough to learn from you in person and glean knowlege and experience from you. I would love to shadow you for a day or a week, heck, you would have to chase me away.
    What a life Anne Marie. You truly are inspiring.
    Many Blessings,
    Molly
