"Heyyyy guys!

Is it just me or did Easter sneak up on us this year? I mean it’s normally in April, right? I prefer April Easter cuz it’s warmer (which could potentially be bad when you think about eggs…haha). But the best is when every few years Good Friday falls on my Birthday – which means no work (or school when I was younger).

Growing up we always did the full Easter thing: Church, egg hunt and brunch with extended family – it was one of those holidays we were guaranteed to see our cousins. And until I was like 10 my grandma Stella would sew colorful Easter dresses for my little sisters and I. I loved when she would let me help her pick out the fabric :) I seriously miss those dresses, they were the jam.

Nowadays Easters are much less epic since there aren’t many small kids in my family, but it’s still fun to get together and see my little nephews hunt around for eggs. But this year I have a plan to make Easter with the fam a little more fun. It starts with san and ends with gria.

We know I love my Sangria – it’s the perfect pitcher drink and this one overflowing with Spring flavors. Plus sangria is best when made in advance (I recommend the night before), which means you can pull off a fancy adult beverage at your Easter brunch with little time commitment. ....."
