Decorating my home is one of my favorite things to do. Enjoy this post full of thrifty Easter decor ideas.
Now that most of us are home more, why not make your home as beautiful a possible?
If spring isn’t showing up yet where you live, we can at least bring spring inside, right? I know I’m ready for cheerful colors.
This is how I decorated my Blue Cottage for Easter! It’s happy and colorful — and didn’t cost much.
Easter is coming up soon! Coloring Easter eggs naturally is a lot of fun and results in beautiful, pastel colors. Have you ever tired it? I’ll also teach you how to make easy, edible alien eggs in this post. The kids will love these!
Do you wonder how to dye Easter eggs naturally and avoid those unhealthy food colors?
Spring is here, and I’m excited to decorate and get ready for Easter although it will be very different this year. There might still not be any Easter egg hunts because of the virus, many of us won’t get together with family or friends.
But we’ll make the best of it, right?
Which brings me to coloring Easter eggs…
I cringe at the sight of bright food dyes probably more than most people because I grew up in Germany without them.
You won’t find much food coloring in Germany — I think they don’t allow it in food.
Food dyes not only make food look unnaturally and unnecessarily colorful, they are plain unhealthy.
Food dyes have been linked to cancer, and hyperactivity, plus more and more kids are allergic to food colors.

Have you dreamed about having a she shed or a guest house? Make that dream a reality!

The Blue Cottage is decorated for St. Patrick’s Day! I made this super easy DIY St. Patrick’s Day banner — here is the tutorial.
You know me, I don’t pay much for decorations – I usually find inexpensive ones at thrift stores, craft stores, or tag sales.
I always have the next holiday in mind and my eye out for decorations for that holiday when I shop.
St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated on March 17 every year, the traditional death date of Saint Patrick (c. AD 385–461), the foremost patron saint of Ireland.
I always love all of the green in my living room when I decorate for this holiday — it means spring is near, finally.
I made this DIY Day Valentine’s gift “I Love You Because”… frame a few years ago for Valentine’s Day, but you can use it all year, thanks to it being reusable.
You can erase the note you wrote on the glass with a dry-erase pen over and over again, so you can use this for years to come.
This is definitely a cute gift for your boyfriend or husband, or you could decorate your home with it for Valentine’s Day.
Every family member can use it to leave little love notes to each other.
