Easter Maze & Free Printable

With Easter around the corner as well as the Easter holidays, I thought it would be fantastic to create Easter Week here on my blog. This week I have some fantastic printable's making an appearance, some gift ideas as well as a recipe may making an appearance. Stay tuned this week for lots of ideas to keep the children entertained this Easter. My ideas have been created with a budget in mind.
Easter On A Budget
Saturday, 4 April 2015
This Easter has been based on a budget in our household. Ben and I have not bought Easter Eggs for one another and we have not purchased anything for other family members. Easter has been based on Maxwell and with that in mind we had a budget of £5 to keep him happy.
I think people often forget the true meaning of Easter and I do think people go overboard when it comes to buying Easter eggs and other items. Easter to me, means spending time with my family. It mean's seeing Maxwell's face light up and this would happen if we spent £1 or £25 on him.
This Easter Maxwell will be getting a Easter hunt. He will also have a visit from Mr Bunny who has left him instructions on how to complete his Easter Hunt. Mr Bunny was created by me. I already had materials to make Mr Bunny so he cost me 0 pence. He took me around just a hour to make.
.
Mr Bunny is simply made out of paper plates, cotton wall, paper and pipe cleaners. I also used a lot of glue. I think Mr Bunny is a simple idea but one which Maxwell will love come morning. I have made a perfect little rhyme up to accompany Mr Bunny and I am hoping it will encourage Maxwell to behave this Easter holiday.
Maxwell's Easter hunt is made up from reduced items or items which I managed to blag for free. Maxwell's Easter Egg hunt consists of 2 small chocolate Nestle Easter Eggs which I got for 50p with coupons, I managed to get 2 packs of mini kinder eggs which were free with coupons, I also got a big bag of Haribo which is made up of multi packs - I purchased this from the £1 store. Along with this I also managed to pick Maxwell up some Mr tumble books which were reduced to just £1.25, he also has a Easter colouring book which was reduced to 30p, a pack of crayons which were free from a competition win and a craft box which I managed to pick up again for £1.25. Finally we purchased Maxwell a felt basket form the £1 store so he is able to collect his Easter gifts with ease, this is a item which we will use again in the future.
I know Maxwell will be more than happy with the items we got him this Easter and I am extremely excited to watch him go on his hunt tomorrow. I am also extremely proud that we did not spend a lot of money on him. The money which we saved will go towards Swimming lessons for him.
Easter does not have to be a expensive event! Memories last longer than material objects.

Celebrate Yankee Candle
Friday, 20 March 2015
Easter is just a few weeks away and it will be Maxwell's 3rd Easter. I adore Easter as I find that it is a exciting event especially now that I have a child. Each year I often get small Easter presents from my loved ones however I often opt for a small gift rather than chocolate as I am not a huge fan of chocolate. If you are like me and prefer gifts to chocolate why not opt for a Yankee Candle this Easter?
Recently I was sent the "Celebrate" Yankee Candle. I was extremely excited to receive the candle as I had never seen this candle or smelt it whilst browsing my local shops. The candle which I was sent was the large jar type and it was cream in colour. The colour of the candle reminded me of frosted Birthday cake and I found that where the colour of the candle was plain, it fitted in with the decor of my house well.
Upon opening the lid of the candle I was greeted with a very sweet smell. The smell hit me straight away and the candle scent reminded me of lemon cake. I instantly found the scent refreshing and I decided to light the candle. After around a hour my house smelt delightful and the lemon cake scent had wafted around my house and managed to get into each room. I found that the candle was a great air freshener.
This large jar type of Yankee candle burns for around 110 hours which means that the candle will last a long period of time. The candle is priced at just £19.99 which I think is a great price for such a lovely gift or a treat for yourself.
Although this candle was sent to me as a Easter treat I believe that the candle would be perfect for other occasions such as Birthdays, weddings and even christenings.My sister has a wedding coming up and I think this candle would be a lovely addition to her wedding morning.

A Week Of Learning And New Experiences

Maxwell enjoyed Easter
He learnt why boxes are so much fun!
- Maxwell learnt why boxes are so fun to play in
- Maxwell enjoyed his second Easter
- Maxwell played with bubbles for the first time
- Maxwell painted his eggs for Easter
- Maxwell was poorly
- We had a PJ day
This week Maxwell has developed a interest in boxes. He enjoys tipping them over and playing in them, either hiding or using them as a tunnel. We often get stuff delivered so Maxwell can look forward to plenty more playing in the future.
This year, it was Maxwell's second Easter. Last year he was very small and we couldn't do that much. This year we changed that by decorating eggs and spoiling Maxwell just a little. We had a fun day and even went out to make the most of the little sunshine we had and got a ice cream.
We went round Auntie Rachel's this week and she had made a lovely toy box up for Maxwell. Inside she had put some bubbles and of course Maxwell had to investigate what they were. Auntie Rachel blew the bubbles around the room. At first Maxwell was a little suspicious of them but eventually got used to them and liked popping them.
For Easter, I really wanted to do a Easter egg hunt, however Maxwell is too young so I decided we would decorate eggs for Easter! Maxwell had lots of fun, especially with the felt tips and lots of feathers.
Maxwell was poorly this week with a bad tummy, we had a nice PJ day and Maxwell enjoyed watching films with Mummy and having lots of cuddles! He is better now which I am glad about.

How much chocolate will your children be eating this Easter?
Apparently the average British child will munch through a staggering £24 worth of chocolate!
Maxwell is now 15 months old, he loves chocolate however he gets far to hypo on chocolate so this year I decided NO Easter eggs. Instead I have got him things he will use and need.
In June, as many of you would have read, I am going to BritMums Live thanks to our wonderful sponsors SilentNight Beds. Maxwell is spending his 1st night ever away from me and I wanted to get him something special.
He is off to stay with Nanny and Grandad so he has a Skoot to go and visit them with. I was stuck between buying Maxwell a Trunki or a Skoot but in the end the Skoot won as it was on a deal I couldn't resist!
Maxwell also has s few other little bits which I put into his skoot to suprise him including a book, a soft toy and a DVD. He had other gifts too including a Tomy toy eggs from my sister and a new outfit and PJ's from my parents.
We woud like to wish you all a very Happy Easter!
