Our Easter Weekend Photo Dump




Easter Day 2020



Despite not being able to be with family on Easter which was my sister's birthday this year too, Easter was a really good day!

We colored eggs Saturday night and planted our jelly beans so they could "bloom" into lollipops.
We woke up Easter morning and had a Easter egg hunt.
We had breakfast of bacon, colored boiled eggs and cinnamon buns!
We went for a walk in the woods at one of our new favorite spots.
We drove by my sister's house singing Happy Birthday.
We hung out at home and made Easter dinner with all the trimmings.
We went for a walk after dinner down near the ocean and the kids ended up getting in and getting their feet wet.
Then we had pie!

The kids seem so much happier and childlike through this all and I'm loving every moment. The sun is shining after a day of constant rain, but you know what they say-“April shower’s, bring May flowers.  So we will be getting outside and soaking up the sunshine on this beautiful April day. Stay well all!!
A surprise in the mail from my grandma (Grandy) who we usually spend Easter with.

Shortest Month

It’s February!! - well the end anyways!!! The shortest month. Last week we woke up to heavy snow pounding down. This time of year is always deceitful, just when we think our part of the world is that much closer to spring-  the temps drop to chilling and a blizzard hits. Heavy snow that lasts until the sun shines bright each day and slowly melts away. At least there has been sunshine! Wonderful, wonderful sunshine that helps us survive through these dark months and guides us back into the light.  We've been doing a lot of house cleaning and greenhouse visits. Monday and Tuesday there was no school, so we hung out, were lazy, cooked good food. I started writing this as the kids skated around in circles at the ice rink. It was the last day open for the season. When things come to an end, they make room for new beginnings- like spring of course! But now, I’m finishing writing this a few days later. It was a short week, but it feels soooo long. We are ready for the weekend!  ...

Spring ahead

                                           While I’m out and down with a spell of something that I’m hoping isn’t bronchitis or lead to pneumonia- negative for the flu, COVID and RSV at least, I figured I’d come try and write a little. I’ve been so weak and tired and out of sorts. I’ve read two books this week and started my third.  As spring turns over to summer. The temperatures rise. The rain falls. The grass grows tall. The bugs crawl from their hiding places. The people emerge from their homes, ready to fling open the windows and take in the spring breeze to cleanse the winter blues and dust from their homes. The kids are shooed outside to soak up the fresh air and sunshine. The radio plays our favorite songs. There’s the unmistakable sound of the hose being turned on. Shoes are abandoned in a chaotic pile near the front door and long forgotten. Barefoot running throug...

I write.

What an absolutely beautiful life.  Sitting on our front porch with my head on your shoulder, you turn to me and say “look at this little life we’ve built.” 💕  It’s been almost 7 months since I last blogged, so many times I wrote and never finished. I'm always writing. Always writing whats in my heart or mind. I write to express myself, whether it be my wedding vows or about my son's football team winning the youth Super Bowl . I twist and turn the words until they make sense and are ready for me to share out into the world. I used to paint, scrapbook, write poetry and have a ton of other hobbies to pass the time, but for now I just write and take as many pictures as I can. I'm busy building life, homemaking, home schooling, working when I do, trying to be a good wife, daughter, sister, friend and raising my three children- and that to me is the most beautiful poetic thing I can think of.  Someday, there will be time to paint, to travel, but right now, I'm exactly wher...
