4.) Have you heard of the Preppy Aesthetic? I’m so intrigued! It’s a classic decor style that features a lived-in look. It focuses on mix and match items from estate sales and flea markets, and encourages you to stay away from big box stores. Learn more HERE.

9.) THINKING AHEAD: if you need inspiration for your Easter dinner, just pick up a spiral sliced ham. Then make these Delmonico Potatoes, and maybe this old-fashioned Jello salad, appropriately called Orange Fluff. You could also make this Jiffy Corn Casserole which is so easy and good. For dessert, whip up this Angel Food Bundt Cake, or make these Sour Cream Shortcake Biscuits to serve with fresh strawberries. Everything can be made the day before…that way you can enjoy yourself on Easter Sunday.
