This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Hershey Company for IZEA. All opinions are 100% mine.

Easter is quickly approaching and I love a fun Easter treat to ring in the festivities. Better yet, I love a fun activity to do with the kids! As we get into the Easter spirit, we made these adorable Easter Cupcakes with Surprise Inside!

Easter Cupcakes

Easter Cupcakes using Hershey's chocolate eggsSometimes I see Easter treats on the internet and think, “Those are cute, but I could NEVER pull that off!” Well friends, anyone can pull off these cute cupcakes! They are really easy to make and are perfect for Easter brunch or just a special treat for the kids.

Hershey Kiss Filled Cupcakes

Easter Cupcakes 1I started with making a basic white cupcake batter, filled the tins about 3/4 full and placed one of these Hershey’s Kisses Vanilla Creme Filled Milk Chocolates inside! Easter Cupcakes 2I baked the cupcakes according to the package and then gave them a thick layer of a basic white butter cream frosting (1/4 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, 3-4 cups powdered sugar). Easter Cupcakes 3To create the little ‘nest’, I grated Hershey’s Solid Milk Chocolate Eggs and then sprinkled them on top, more concentrated in the center.

    I love the easy cute look and the surprise inside! I started doing kisses in the center on Valentines day and everyone loves them. Will have to try the white chocolate like you did here. Good job!

Have you thought about adding more smart home tech Have you thought about adding more smart home technology into your own home? #ad It's been something we have talked about a lot over the past year, and I am loving the new products we've recently added from @amazon and @ring to refresh our home! Check out this video to see how I use them in my everyday life and head to the blog to read more about each product and @alexa99 #askalexa #amazonhome #smarthome
Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee table are back in stock! We love both of these pieces from @overstock (gifted), and they are used daily around here. I will say when it comes to leather couches, we all give this one a 10/10, it’s incredibly comfortable and a piece you will have fore a looooong time.

We’ve really enjoyed the past week and low key weekend, it’s definitely getting us all a little more excited for summer and being outside a lot more!

One of my top questions is about the console table One of my top questions is about the console table in our entry way, I got it from Arhaus about 6 years ago and haven’t seen it in stock since... BUT they have two other ones on sale right now that have similar looks to them. I also rounded up a few more that will give you the same look. I linked them to this post in the @liketoknow.it app and will share in stories as well!

It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle nex It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle next week which means major work on the backyard will be taking place! Things are moving right along. Our exterior started to get a new paint job this week (see stories) which will be finished next week, we will finish layer the paver pathways and installing the new turf next week as well! Next up, landscape and lighting. I love how this space looks already, and I can’t wait to show you even more of it. 🖤

We spend normally spend a good part of our day in here and it’s proven to be so functional and cozy. I’m so glad we put in the countertop/bar top for the kids. It’s been working out great.

I will be the first to admit meal planning is not I will be the first to admit meal planning is not my strong suit, especially when life is so crazy busy right now. I'm all about easy meals and the quicker the better. But with all of our family food sensitivities and allergies meals can be a little trickier. I recently discovered @greenchef and I am so excited because they actually offer meal delivery service that caters towards different dietary needs, ie. gluten free, paleo, keto, etc. I tried it out last week and was super impressed. The meals come with all of the ingredients, all food allergies correctly labeled and most of the ingredients pre-cut for you. I timed both meals and they truly only took me 30 minutes to make and the flavors were so good. Swipe to watch the video!
