I hope you had a nice Easter! We finally got our Easter eggs colored in the nick of time on Saturday night. My daughter really loves hard boiled eggs so I've been packing them in her lunches this week. My son, my picky eater, did try eating a colored egg but I think he mostly just picked at it. I'm thankful he at least sort of tried it. It's all about presentation.....I don't think he would have ever on his own tried a white, non-colored hard boiled egg.
This is kind of funny, my son likes applesauce and I wanted him to try apple butter on his toast. So I told him it was applesauce jelly and he tried it and liked it! It's amazing to me how just the way something is worded, or presented to a child makes such a difference in whether they will eat it or not. For example, If I make pancakes that look like vegetables, my son wont eat them even though pancakes are one of his favorite foods. Isn't that so funny?!!!
Oh, by the way, I've added a new “sneak preview” page on my top buttons. I'm often working on new pancake tutorials behind the scenes so now you can see what they are even before I get a chance to list them in my shop! Fun!
We seriously had a real bunny in our back yard on Easter morning! That was an awesome treat for everyone!

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8
My kids are professionals at making royal messes everywhere and I have become a professional at cleaning up after them! I walked into the kitchen the other morning to find that my kids had gotten into an Easter basket, dumped out all the eggs and then left to go make more messes somewhere else. I don't even think they played with the eggs. As I stood there staring at the mess, I realized how beautiful the Easter egg colors looked all over the floor. So I grabbed my camera and took a bunch of photos. This got my kids attention from their professional mess making fun to come see why Mommy was on the floor taking photos. After this, I was noticing beautiful messes all morning!
Blessings,

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said." Matthew 28:5-6
I can't believe that it's Easter week already! I am definitely not prepared for it. We haven't colored any eggs and I don't have the kid's Easter baskets ready either but really that doesn't matter. This is the biggest week for Christians and I really want my children to know the true meaning of why we celebrate Easter. So, we read the Bible about Christ's death for our sins and resurrection and I told them how this is such a love story of God for us.
This past weekend we played an Easter game. Do you know that typical one where you have your kids balance an egg on a spoon and walk across the room? My daughter tried all different types of kitchen spoons and eventually gave a teaspoon a try.
On Saturday, we took a drive to a local lake and let the kids run around and throw rocks in the water. Then we went home and grilled some steaks and hot dogs and the kids played outside. These dandelion seeds looked so pretty all glowing in the afternoon sunlight. My son loves picking them and all week he has brought them in the house many times (which I stopped immediately before the seeds could go flying!).
I love how my son is wearing rubber bands on his wrists (I can't say bracelets because that's too girly!).
Blessings,
Jenni
"For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise..." Psalm 96:4
These daffodils are the first to bloom in our yard and it's always so exciting to see them! Spring is on it's merry way! I'm not sure though how long these pretty blooms can stay in my kitchen because of my allergies but I tend to fight it out and bring them in every year anyway.
Well it's been "one of those mornings" for me....the kind where my patience is tested quite a bit. It started off with my children getting up a little too early. Then one of my kids accidentally broke my candy thermometer which shattered tiny glass pieces everywhere. Yikes! My other child decided to create "artwork" on the window by smearing food all over it. Now, I don't want to discourage art if possible, but that's just not going to fly with me! Anyhow, I just pray the Lord will help me praise him through it all because I need to hold on to the joy that comes from him.
May joy rest in your heart today,
Jenni
