Happy Friday,
Ok letās chat about getting all that winter out of here and diving into what we are all excited about: SPRING!
Whew! Normally, I am loving the cozy vibes, but I am ready for SUNSHINE and outside!
And we are only 16 days from Easter! What are your Easter traditions?
I feel like I have leaned more into Christmas than Easter, but I want to grow in making it a special time for my kids!
After all, celebrating Jesus conquering the cross and raising from the dead is a pretty big deal!
So letās talk Spring and Easter ideas and please share any Easter traditions you do to point your kids to Christ!
IDEAS FOR INTENTIONALITY:
100% Cotton Easter Dresses for Girls:
- Little Girls:I got this one for family photos a couple weeks ago and it is simple and pretty! I am ordering this one for my 2 year old to match her.
- Dress for Big Girls: I am ordering this one for my 7 year old since the other dress doesnāt come in her size. She likes that it looks like a big girl dress and I like that it has good reviews.
Linen Baby Outfit: I am grabbing this cute linen outfit for my little buddy. I am a sucker for some linen baby outfits.
Baby Blanket with Bunnies: Ok I am not the biggest bunny Easter person, but I have this baby blanket and I LOVE it! Plus, it has precious bunnies on it with a linen material. It is dreamy!
Easter + Spring/Summer Sandals: I am measuring the girls feet today for spring and summer sandals. I have been ordering from Adelisa and Co for the last 6 or 7 years!
They are real leather sandals that hold up over time. I have been able to pass a lot of boots and sandals down for all my kids.
Here are 3 styles I love for littles! And here is the style I am eyeing this year for myself!Ā
And here are some cutie sandals for littles. And they look super cute with these socks too.

Books for Easter:
Picture Book: Have you heard of the Garden, the Curtain and the Cross? It is a childrenās book that is so good that the training program for theology at our church has their students read it!
Giftable Book: I have so many friends that love this resource! I think this is a great giftable book, it has prayers for almost every situation, because like the title suggests every moment is holy!
Fun Healthier Easter Candy:Ā
Here are some cleaner candy options for Easter: Sour Bears, Jelly Beans, and Milk ChocolateĀ M&M copycats.
