Easter and #PowerbowlADay Recap with a new #RESTWEEK challenge!

April 1, 2013 By Kasey 1 Comment

Happy Monday all! I hope you had a great Easter Weekend! I saw this on Facebook the other day & couldn’t resist to repost it. I grew up with two rabbits as pets so this picture tugged at my heart strings a bit. Lately I’ve been on such a puppy kick & can’t help but screen shot a bunch of these pictures lately. How can you not smile while looking at that? Too cute! While Easter can be about the bunnies, candy, easter egg hunts, & adorable dog pictures, I was also very thankful for being able to spend the day with my family & boyfriend. Growing up we … [Read more...]
