As you know, Easter is my favorite holiday. I love the flowers, the food, and the way the world finally wakes up from winter. And even though I couldn't enjoy the traditional fare of ravioli (I'm Italian 🍝), ham, cheesecake, and chocolate, I went all in on festive fashion by splashing out on a new fascinator. This one is a departure from my usual tulle-topped, I'm-off-to-the-Kentucky-Derby numbers. The upturned straw, lace, and huge rose give it a Victorian-meets-'90s-meets-cottagecore feel, which, having sported more than a few Blossom-style chapeaux as a preteen, I loved. What's more, its bright yellow makes me happy.
That said, I did eat a delicious dinner prepared by my mom, full of beef, veggies, and -- this was a real treat -- cheesy mashed potatoes. Best of all, the starch didn't affect my glucose. I'll take my wins where I can get them!
On that note, if you celebrate, then I hope you had a winning Easter too. And if not, then a winning Sunday. Because it's nice to know that a smile is just a family meal -- or accessory -- away.
Clearly, impending motherhood is infiltrating my snark with sap. 😏
