The ressurection gives my life meaning and direction and the opportunity to start over NO MATTER WHAT my circumstances!

 Emerson’s basket is a vintage high chair for her dollies.  Can you resist the pink party chicks and the old Tutti paper dolls!?  I can’t wait to play tomorrow!

 

It’s been a crazy RAINY week.  So glad to have a sunny day to snap some pics and finish our last minute Easter prep!    

 

Green for the teen.

  Our New Easter Tradition: Little Golden Shoes

“Meaningful family traditions give our hectic lives some predictability and provide a sense of security and comfort.”  Mary LoVerrde

 

 

What I love most about holiday and everyday traditions is that they encourage us to pause and reconnect as a family.   Simple traditions connect us to memories of the past and bring new hope to the present.  This year we added the lovley story,  “The Country Bunny and the Little Golden Shoes”  by Duebose Heyword to our Easter tradition list.  We painted a little pair of antique baby shoes and on Easter weekend each child is going to add a hand painted story card to the shoe box.  When the kids are all grown they will have an heirloom of artwork and memories to share with their children!

This will be our first year exploring the story of Easter using Resurrection Eggs! 
Each day we plan on including simple stories, questions, artwork and a bible reading.  I’ll let ya know how it goes.  
These would be super simple to make on your own too!    
The Twelve Days Leading up to EASTER:
Day One:  Donkey- Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem
Day Two:  Three Coins-  Judas’ blood money
Day Three:  Cup-  The Last Supper
Day Four:  Praying Hands-  The Garden of Gethsemane
Day Five:  Leather Strip-  39 Lashes
Day Six:  Crown of Thorns-  Mocking of Jesus
Day Seven:  Nails-  Crucifixion
Day Eight:  One die-  Soldiers gambling 
Day Nine:  Spear-  Roman Soldiers piercing Jesus’ robe
Day Ten: Linen-  Grave clothes
Day Eleven:  Stone-  The tomb
Day Twelve:  Empty Egg-  RESURRECTION!
 
I hope you are savoring and enjoying every moment of this miraculous season!

Two for YOU!

We are ALL set for TOMORROW! 

To celebrate St. Patty’s the leprechauns are going to “drop” some these around town!  

We hope whoever finds ”a lucky shamrock” will get a laugh or two.  

 

Back of flag reads:  TWO for YOU!  If you find this Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  YES, it is real.  YES, it is for you.  ENJOY!   :)

I can’t believe we are on WEEK 11 of 52 SMILES!
