SideWalk Chalk Message

09/03/2013 By: Kelliecomment

I found this idea on Pinterest and thought, “How cool!” Father’s Day was approaching and this was my chance to run with this fun idea.   I am not a professional photographer but absolutely love taking pictures. I am a “work in process” in this field.

I had my children wake up early  that morning and dress in clothes with a pop of color.  We headed outside to the driveway where my daughter, who is the artist in the family, began drawing our message. She drew fun balloons and  the date so we can look back in time and know exactly the year this “work of art” took place. The children placed themselves on the ground as they wished.  My daughter held her arm to give the impression she was holding the balloons in her hand. Love it!  I have to say, “My son was a little shy about this as he felt it was a too babyish but he was a good sport and did it  for his Mom, anyhow.”  He decided to be “cool” and look like he was chillin.  I will probably never get him to do this again, so get it done while they are young!

I positioned a tall ladder directly in front of the children so I was looking straight down at them with my camera. The lighting was tricky because we have many pine trees next to the driveway and the shade was interfering with capturing the perfect photo.  We decided to keep my husband busy until the sun moved just enough to snap a good photo. I was surprised how many shots it took to get this completed but it was worth it.

My husband was tickled pink we took the time to do something special and I will always have this photo to look back on when my children were young.   

Make a beautiful memory for your family or friends. Go ahead and chalk it up!

Well hippity hoppity! I finished the kitchen table Well hippity hoppity! I finished the kitchen table. I'm loving the Easter Egg and Lambs Ear Wooden Crate Centerpiece from @kirklands Perfect size for this smaller table. First, I laid a colorful checkered Easter runner from @belk. Then came the centerpiece. My place settings were brown chargers, yellow French plates from @dillards, and adorable 🐥 plates from @southernliving. I then whipped up bunny napkins and placed vibrant alabaster eggs in the loop from @williamssonoma Tied them up with raffia string. So cute! Put out my small bunny holders and candles.  Lastly, my @potterybarn 🐣 chick salt and pepper shakers flowed beautifully with the chick theme. The fact I already had mostly everything, made it more easy. Surprising the things we have but it's out-of-sight out- of-mind. I hope this can inspire you to decorate your table. Simple and pretty and you're on your way. 💜 Swipe for more photos #bunnynapkin #chick #chickplates #easterdishes #easter #eastertable #easterdecor #eastertablescape #eastereggs #southernliving #dillards #belk #belkstyle #potterbarn #williamssonoma #kirklands #atl #atlanta #georgia #southern #easterplacesetting #placesetting #decor #farmhousedecor #farmhousestyle #mytradhome #alabaster

Perfect for a Spring table. Alabaster eggs are placed throughout the setting and bring a pop of spring colors.

Do you have a family tradition for Easter? ✝️S Do you have a family tradition for Easter? ✝️Since my kids were toddlers, we gather around the kitchen island to color eggs 🐣 while the Ten Commandments plays in the background. It's getting to be more of a challenge as I have a son who is a sophomore in college and a daughter who is a senior in high school. God willing, The tradition will continue this weekend and I'm blessed beyond belief. 💜#easter #eastertraditions #eastertradition #jesus #jesuschrist #eastereggs #tencommandments #love #peace #happiness #fayettecounty #fayettecountyga #atl #atlanta #family

I had so much fun putting this kid's Easter board I had so much fun putting this kid's Easter board together. I mean I snacked on all the goodies 😂 The light colored cheese board I purchased from @williamssonoma along with the German chocolate lady bugs and the adorable marshmallows. Filled a few bowls with m&m's, jelly beans and vanilla popcorn. Couldn't leave out a few peeps and chocolate covered pretzel sticks. Topping off in the center with edible grass and a chocolate 🐰 #williamsonoma #eastercharcuterie #eastercharcuterieboard #easterboard #easter #eastertreats #kidscharcuterie #kidseastercharcuterie #kids #kidstreats #atl #atlanta #fayettecounty #easter2021
