The past few days have been delightfully warm; birds have been chirping, sun has been shining, and days have been filled with walks in the park. If I didn't know any better I'd say spring has sprung.

Add a pair of baby bunny ears gifted to mm by a good friend over an afternoon glass of iced tea, and you have a festive-feeling girl on your hands. 

This batch of gooey funfetti bars channeled all my springtime feelings- giving the house the sweetest scent and the perfect pop of color. 

And the bunny ears? They made for a great distraction while mama baked the afternoon away- or for a few minutes, at least.
