Easter in Your Home

Easter Sunday is my MOST FAVORITE day of the entire year!!! I love it more than any other day!

Easter 2023

Easter is the greatest day as it is the day we celebrate, give thanks and honor the greatest gift we'll ever receive, Christ's resurrection after his death on the cross for our sins.

It's important to my family that we exemplify this foremost in our home & lives - but we also enjoy the bunny and all the other fun and beautiful things this season brings.

This past Sunday Vivian and I created a resurrection garden to care for in preparation for Easter Sunday.

First we added some small rocks/pea gravel to a plant saucer.

We used a small pot and a large stone we found outside for the tomb.

We added potting soil all the way around and on top of the pot/tomb.

We sprinkled grass seed all over the dirt.

Then lightly covered it with a sprinkle of more dirt.

We used sticks from our back yard & glued them together to make 3 crosses.

Using a spray bottle, we'll water the top and watch the grass grow!

Note: My dear friend gifted me with the supplies for this garden (she knows I don't have a crafting bone in my body!)

HOLY WEEK IN A BOX

3 years ago I shared this activity for children for learning about the events of Easter.

Read about it: ON THIS BLOG POST.

It includes the supplies and print out.

We also read lots of books about Easter throughout the month.

Easter dressing is VERY important!

My Easter dress & Vivian's this year are very cheerful :)

Friday Favorites: Blue & White Motif

Good Friday blessings to you! May we remember, we are saved not by what we do but by what Christ has done.

It is finished!

Spend today and this Easter weekend enjoying the blessings God has generously given you. Soak up the joy with the people you do have around you to help diminish the sadness of missing those you can not see. Gracious, I'm heartbroken to not be worshiping in our church, hugging on my Mamma and watching Vivian hunt eggs with her cousins. But praise for technology that allows us to video and love that knows no distance.

On a colorful note, I love a blue and white motif. I mean, I live in it as it's the design palette of our home. It's a cool and calm contrasting pairing and it's something Ryan and I both agree on. He's a UNC Chapel Hill alum so Carolina blue is his favorite.

There something refreshing and very classic about blue and white. It's truly my favorite combination!

Here are several beautiful blue and white pieces I'm loving ...

Friday Favorites: Long Dresses

TGIF! I don't know about you but I feel like this week went by much faster that the first two weeks of quarantine. I'll take it as a sign that we are finally in a groove and place of acceptance. Although I'm heartbroken every day that I can't see my Mamma, sister, nephew & niece and gracious my sweet gal pals. Well, technically I have 'seen' them through video. Funny, how this technology has become such a prized possession!

It may be hard to think about dressing up or it could be something that keeps you hopeful.
I'm keeping the faith that we will be able to step out soon and when we do, gracious I'm going to be dressed and ready for it!

Long dresses have gained more footage in my closet over the past several years. I was hesitant for a long time to invest because they were not office appropriate, I'm petite and didn't want to be overwhelmed and I wasn't sure how to make them work outside of being on vacation.
Well, they're still not a fit for the work place but they most certainly are pretty no matter your stature and shouldn't be limited to the beach.

Wear them to church, luncheons, showers, date nights or even better gals night out (missing my friends something fierce!!) Shoot, wear them lounging in your back yard with your family and neighbors. Just swap the wedges/heels for a pair of sandals or sneakers.

Here are some favorite long dresses ....

Bonus: With a long dress you can skip shaving and self tanner! #winnerwinner
