Resurrection Eggs

Welcome Back Gal Pals!

Spring is in the air and Easter is just around the corner.  Like many of us, I come from a family with different holiday traditions.  My birth side of the family celebrates Easter with church, egg hunts, the Easter Bunny and a special family dinner.  My husband's side of the family, opted several years ago to not participate in eggs hunts nor do they recognize the Easter Bunny.  Instead, they chose to focus on the more religious aspects of this day and the resurrection of our Lord and Savior.  So, much like Christmas and Santa Claus (as mentioned in a previous post), the quandary yet again becomes, how do we handle Easter with our daughter?  How do we celebrate this holiday without focusing too much on the commercialized, fluffy bunny, chocolate covered aspects of this holiday, but still make it fun for a little one, especially when half of her cousins are going to receive a visit from the Easter Bunny and participate in egg hunts? 


Well, in a recent meeting with my mommy group, I was introduced to this cute and clever spin on the traditional Easter egg.  They are called resurrection eggs and we made them at our last meeting.  Here's how it works.

My Favorite Spring Chicken Recipes

Good Morning Gals!

As I looked out my kitchen window this morning, I noticed that the pussy willow bush that my husband and I planted in the fall is beginning to get white little buds all over it.  I also noticed that there are more bugs roaming around and the weather has been flip-flopping quite a bit lately.  One day its 50 degrees with thunder storms and the next day its in the 30s with light snow; all signs that spring is definitely on its way.
