EASTER IDEAS: FOOD DECOR FASHION

Hello Fashion dolls,

With cities being on lockdown and social distancing worldwide these days makes having a regular Easter gathering more of a challenge since it was requested by health officials not to invite anyone who doesn't live in your household regularly over for dinner. A lot has changed in two months during this pandemic, so I have come up with some creative ways to keep us all in the mood to continue to celebrate regardless of all the social distancing/lockdown guidelines that still keep you and those we love safe/healthy, because this virus is spreading at a tremendous rate with deaths rising daily.

So let's get into planning for a untraditional Easter that will be the highlight of enduring what has broughten the world to a complete standstill. If you have been a fashion doll for awhile you know how much I enjoy planning parties and all the decor, this will have a social distancing twist but like my previous planning content this won't disappoint.

NEED DECOR IDEAS?... HERE ARE SOME DIY IDEAS

With so many businesses deemed nonessential a lot of businesses are closed to slow the spread of the virus and the way we shop has also changed. A lot of items will be given later delivery dates unless it's considered to be a essential item, For example, food or water.

With 6.6 million people filing for unemployment, everyone is shopping on a budget and I've been noticing that there is a good craft section at Dollar tree and I will be doong some. This is something fun to do with your family and be creative together, I know Nevaeh will enjoy painting or glueing stuff together to put around our house.

WHAT SHOULD YOU COOK?... I HAVE SOME SUGGESTIONS

Found photos: Google

The recipes are what I have tried before and my family really loves these dishes, so I know that yours will as well. Although this will be the first Holiday celebrated since the corona virus pandemic has began, we can still enjoy a dinner with those we love and I have a few ideas on how to share with guests who couldn't make it due to the stay at home orders. Prepare those guests a plate as if they were going to attend your dinner just pack it in a to go container and drive to their home to drop off their food and deserts, although we havw to celebrate apart doesn't mean we can't still include them.
