I have 10 favorites to share with you today!
{ONE}

Dreams do come true!

Pink Starburst are my favorite!
{TWO}
My sister got the girls this book a couple months ago.
It's all about how scarce clean water is in Africa & it's one of Claire's favorite books.
{THREE}
One of the women in our town owns a fencing company with her husband and in the past year, she has been creating signs from old fence boards. Recently, she started hosting Mom's nights out for us to make our own signs.
It was an Easter themed night...here are the signs we made:
It was such a fun night! I can't wait to go again.
{FOUR}
Avocado Toast.
It is my current favorite thing to have for lunch.
So good!!
I toasted a slice of sourdough bread, added half a mashed up avocado,
lime juice, sea salt, a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese & a dash of
crushed red peppers.
{FIVE}
Celebrating Holidays is my FAVORITE!
2 weeks ago was St. Patty's Day
Here is what we did to celebrate..
The girls made a trap the night before. This was all Kate...she made some sort of pulley so that the leprechaun would be trapped and couldn't get out of the box.
The leprechaun came & brought Lucky Charms....
The Leprachaun left a note saying Nice Try on trying to trap him :)
The kids were so excited about the trail of gold coins (Rolos)
This year he brought Kate m&m's, Claire got Sour Watermleon & Luke got Sour Patch kids.
He also left a mess in the bathroom:
Yay for fun, chessey holidays!
{SIX}
Speaking of favorite holidays.... now it's time to focus on Easter, since it's 2 weeks from Sunday!
Here are some fun activities that you can do with your kids this week to get you in the Easter Spirit! Many of these will help you focus on the true meaning of Easter....that Jesus died on the cross for all of us and rose again 3 days later. Some of the other activities are just for fun!
Planting Jelly Beans
We do this on Good Friday & have the lollipops appear on
Easter Sunday representing that God has taken the old and given us new
life.
You can read Luke Chapter 18 in the
Bible with this activity.
Talk about how Jesus’s body was laid in the tomb then on the 3rd
day was raised from the dead and lived again.
Bunny Prints
On our front walkway made with flour on Easter Morning:
Bunny Trail
(Marshmallows leading them to their Easter Baskets)
Empty Tomb Easter Cookies with Scripture
Resurrection Rolls:
(Recipe HERE)
Easter Egg Coupons:
Instead of filing eggs with candy, you can add these coupons to some of your kids eggs!
My girls LOVE getting these in their eggs!

Tie Dyed Easter Eggs:
This year I want to try out dying eggs with Cool Whip? I saw it on Buzz Feed and want to try it with my kids! I will let you know if it works....stay tuned :)

March Madness.....this is my FAVORITE time of year!!!
I LOVE it. I have done a bracket every year for the past 20+ years.
This year my bracket is officially busted:
I am in charge of my school staff bracket every year.
This year, I even did a bracket challenge with my students.
They are loving it. The winners will get a donut party :)
We also have our kids fill out brackets.
Parenting tip: Have your kids fill out brackets & make it a friendly family competition.
For the past 5 years we created online family pool & let the kids their own pick brackets.
They love it & this way they don't mind that we have college basketball constantly on the TV during March Madness #parentsoftheyear
The winner gets to chose where we get frozen yogurt/ice cream (all 5 of us have different places we like) and the winner doesn't have to do any chores for a week :)
It looks like Claire is going to win our family pool this year.
Got to start them young in gambling ;)
Are you doing a bracket?
Who do you have winning?
