Remember around Valentines Day how I said I was an ambassador for Columbia Center Mall? I never really dove into that much more but what you will be seeing is a few blog posts a year featuring things going on at Columbia Center Mall AND usually a giveaway. So I have another amazing opportunity for you guys this Easter. I know it seems really early to be talking about the Easter Bunny and Easter fashion but with Easter so early this year it really isn't. So with that being said I have a big blog post in store for you and another amazing giveaway valued at $150!
We headed to the mall this weekend to get our picture with the Easter Bunny. I wasn't too worried because Leo wasn't scared of Santa. On Friday I showed him some photos of the Easter Bunny as well as some videos of the Easter Bunny. We then talked about giving the Easter Bunny a high 5 and getting candy. Saturday morning came around and Leo was JAZZED to see the bunny. When we got to the mall he was a little timid. Jay and I first went and sat down with the bunny with Leo and took a picture. Then we went back and gave the bunny a high 5 and Leo sat next to him and the girls started snapping the photos. They seemed to know all the tips and tricks to get Leo to look and I was lucky they did. It was such a great experience.
All this bunny talk leads to the first part of our giveaway, I'll be giving away an Easter Bunny Photo Package at Columbia Center Mall which includes 3 prints of your photo as well as a digital download and a $25 Shutterfly Promo Card. I'll also be giving away a $100 gift card so you can do some shopping for your bunny photos. More about how to enter the giveaway at the bottom of this post. But for those of you wondering bunny hours you can find them HERE!

Leo Fashion
I took a little different approach to Leo's Easter bunny outfit this year. Leo is such a cool little boy, I mean last week at mommy and me class a kid tried to take his toy away and Leo looked him in the eye and simply said "no way dude" and walked away with the toy. I mean talk about cool, calm, and collected. So I channeled that in our outfit. Leo is a big dinosaur fan so we opted for some cool looking jeans, a white and blue button up and a dinosaur hoodie. We got this entire outfit at Concept Kids at Columbia Center Mall. This store carries some seriously cool stuff. From books to toys to an array of trendy kids clothing.
Don't miss out stopping by this shop at the mall. It is located by Old Navy. Be sure to follow their Facebook Here!
Mommy Fashion
I also got a little time to pick out some clothes for Easter too. I went a little out of my comfort zone with some pink pants. Who am I? I loved the little detail of the gold buttons on the pocket. Since Easter is so early this year I went for a light sweater. I am a little brave wearing white with a toddler but that is what bleach is for? I picked up both the top and the pants at The Loft. Make sure you follow along on their facebook for the newest trendsHERE. I ran across the parking lot over to DSW and picked up some new shoes cause I didn't have any to match pink pants at home. I love this mauve pink wedges for spring. Wedges are a must during an egg hunt.
Shop This Look:
As you can see both of these outfits are fitting for outdoor play and Easter egg hunts. If you are looking for some ideas for your Easter basket for toddlers and want to avoid all the candy. I suggest books, summer shoes (I personally love Natives), bubbles, chalk, art or sensory activity, educational toys, puzzles, kinetic sand, and blocks. Concept Kids had a ton of unique and education toys for your Easter baskets.
Oh ok let's not forget about the giveaway. I will be running the Easter Bunny Experience and a $100 gift card giveaway on Instagram my handle is @champagneandshimmer. It starts today and runs through Friday so be sure to log on and check it out. This giveaway is for people within the Tri-Cities area who have kids, grandkids, or kids in your life that would love to see the Easter Bunny. I will contact you via instagram and let you know where you can pick up the Bunny gift certificate and then I will mail you the $100 gift card. So don't miss out on this giveaway.
Good luck on the contest and I will be back with another post soon!
Cheers,
Jess
