So, we decided to try an all natural dye with tea for our Easter eggs this year. I’ve been seeing all these naturally dyed easter eggs all over pinterest for a couple years, and I have been seriously been dying to try them.

Being home again has been so refreshing. I am on my own with my own life going on, but my pop’s farm will always be home to me. This time, there’s a special member of the family that I’d like to introduce…we call her Little Lambo! She’s a special little angel that was born earlier…
