Hopping Home















Easter weekend is wonderful because it's the only spring holiday that encourages you to dress up and wear your prettiest dresses and sandals that have been nestled in the back of your closet all season long.

Growing up, the arrival of the Easter bunny meant a trip to the store to buy a new frilly floral dress with lace-trimmed socks and matching patent leather mary janes. In keeping with traditions, I will still be wearing floral and mary janes come Sunday; the lace-trimmed socks will stay in storage.

Just like when I was five, the Easter bunny fills my basket with chocolate eggs. I love candy as much as the next girl, but I wish he would consider picking this dress up on the way to my parent's house.
