Happy Monday! 

With Easter right on our heels I made these adorable little chocolate eggs nest for Ava to take to school last week.  They were so easy to throw together and they turned out to be a huge hit! I placed two small nests in cute Easter ziplock baggies I found out the Dollar Tree!  It was a festive snack for her class. 

This week the kids are on Spring Break!! Woot woot! It makes me wish I was in school again, just to have fun/care-free week off.
