Do you remember what it was like to wake up on Easter morning to a basket filled with chocolaty surprises? Growing up we always had the most wonderful homemade Easter baskets that my mother made for us. What I loved most is that you couldn’t find them in a store, and not a single other friend of mine had the same one. Those little baskets are still put out every year at my mom’s house, still holding up strong, and they’re filled with decades of memories. Needless to say I wasn’t sure if I wanted to share this little family tradition, but it’s just too wonderful not to. All the credit goes to my cute little mom and her crafty little self. Happy Easter everyone!
