Preparations...

Today we prepared for and acknowledged both Easter and Autumn...... We started by baking some gingerbread bunnies.....

Some very cute faces created by Mia....and she found it quite nice to munch our new little friends!


While they were baking Mia and I scoured the yard to create an Autumn/ Easter centrepiece for our table. Mia searched for Autumn colours and came up with beautiful leaves, flowers and rocks in breathtaking shades of red, orange, yellow and a magnificent magenta. Delicious!

She topped off her display with a delicate little birds nest....a lovely touch

Later in the afternoon she discovered this common bromeliad flower. Isn't it spectacular! From such a common "brom".... Straight into our display it went for us to enjoy and admire over dinner. Nature always provides endless beauty in every form.

This is such a lovely idea to do with children. I bet my boys would like to do something similar. I'll have to ask them. It's nice to recognise this time of year beyond the bunnies and mainstream marketing.
