Happy Easter, dear  Happy Home Friends!

I am praying that your day is filled with the celebration and joy of Christ’s glorious resurrection!

The Happy Buddy wanted you to know that “SomeBUNNY loves you!” (and that ‘somebunny’ is him!) 🙂

I’d love to hear how your Scavenger Hunt went, or how your Happy Buddies (and Happy Hubby!) enjoyed their Easter Baskets, or how your delicious Brunch turned out, or how your Happy Home reacted when their Easter Garden tomb was found empty – feel free to leave a comment!

God Bless You!!!!! 🙂

We had a wonderful Easter brunch at my mom’s house with Easter Jokes and my daughters even presented their Resurrection Eggs to the family (SO cute!!) I made the adorable bunny cake which everyone loved. It was a day filled with SO much FUN and JOY. HE IS RISEN!!! xoxo

    My sons (ages 1 1/2 and 4 1/2) have LOVED all the crafts, activities, games, etc. from your site that we have been doing the past few weeks. But this morning was especially magical, with the scavenger hunt and bunny footprints…my older son told all his friends at church that the Easter Bunny had hopped into his house and left him a basket! And our Easter garden tomb was a beautiful reminder of the true meaning of this special day…a great visual to help him understand what Easter is all about! Also, we live in an apartment so we don’t have neighbors with front yards, but today before walking into church we “egged” one of our friends cars! We put the “You’ve Been Egged” sign, along with easter eggs, on their windshield and we even put some all inside their car and in the kids’ car seats, because the doors were unlocked! They had been sick the past week and had missed out on some easter events so it was super exciting for them to come out to their car after church and find that surprise! Thank you for your fantastically magical ideas!!!

    I had so much fun with all your ideas for Easter. We did the Preschool Version of the Resurrection Eggs and made the Resurrection Rolls. My children really grasped the true meaning of Easter. My husband appreciated the little notes. I left them in places that I knew he would go to Easter morning. He was really surprised and looking forward to cashing some in. I used the Fun with Peeps Tags for gifts for the children in my family.
    Thanks so much,
    Caterina

    We had so much fun this Easter thanks to your ideas! That little bunny left footprints ALL OVER my house when he left eggs for the basket scavenger hunt. The footprints thrilled my almost 4yo son to pieces!! I even left a tail of cotton balls in the door. He got a little upset about the bunny losing his tail, but I assured him bunny tails grow back… right? haha

    I made some preschool ressurection eggs and explained those to the little ones at church. We also talked about the “real” Easter bunny. That was such a lovely idea.

    The best part of the day was when we were in the car coming home from a wonderful lunch with lots of friends and my son says, “Hey Daddy. Jesus died on the cross, but he didn’t stay dead. He is alive with God in Heaven!” I’m about to cry just thinking about it. =)

    When my little almost 4 year old girl found the tomb empty in our Easter Garden, early on Easter Sunday, she squealed “Jesus is ALIVE!”
    *sigh* Yes He is 🙂

    Hey Lady,

    We started off the day with some cute little bunny pancakes. Ryan actually found that idea on here when I asked him to print off the clues for the scavenger hunt. We did the scavenger hunt with Hannah, and she loved it. We have it on video, so I’ll have to show it to you sometime. She tore up and down the stairs looking for more clues! We had an awesome lunch with some friends, complete with Easter egg hunt. It was a super fun day. Hope you guys had a nice service and dinner with Mom & Dad!

I like to make people happy.✨ Author of #thekindnessantennae 🎉 💛Psalm 28:7💛
  • One of these amazing boys made me a thoughtful card and gave me a small box of chocolates.

One of these amazing boys made me a special edition of his homemade comic strips in honor of Mother’s Day.

And one of these amazing boys patted my stomach during the sermon at church and whispered, “I think there’s a baby in there.”

😂🫠😂🫠😂

Happy Mother’s Day!

  • We are celebrating that because of the cross we have the unwavering favor of God. Because of the cross we are pursued daily by God’s perfect love, we are offered forgiveness and freedom, and we are equipped with the hope of the Holy Spirit. Thank you, Jesus!

  • Things I’ve learned from breaking my tailbone >>

1. It is possible to wear only 4 outfits in 2 weeks.

2. God is more concerned with developing character and deep roots than about our physical comfort.

3. My children don’t love to see me bedridden, but they love that they have been able to eat nuggets, pizza, and fries for 2 weeks.

4. When you can’t sleep because of pain or wild imagination that is not helpful, put on worship music.

5. A good prayer to pray, “Show me the depth of my need for You and shatter my self-sufficiency. Change my mindset so that prayer becomes my first response in every situation. May I seek You in all things. Help me to put all my hope in You...”

6. Hold on to a sense of humor. Or find someone to get you laughing. Even though it will hurt to laugh. You need to not take it all so seriously!

7. God’s people are so precious. People showed up on our doorstep with lasagnas, flowers, sandwiches, Uber Eats gift cards, and one dear soul even sent her cleaning ladies to our house to undo the damage of mama being down for days on end. Whenever I was tempted to despair, someone would text or bring by some freshly cut fruit. The message here is don’t ask, just do > because every act of kindness reminded me of Who is in charge.

8. When hard times come, lean into gratitude instead of fussiness and resistance. Thank your husband for carrying everything while you’re down, thank your community for carrying you to Jesus, thank the Lord for being present in all circumstances with a plan for your good and His glory. There is a reason God tells us in the Bible to do all things without complaining or disputing-so that you. will. shine. It’s not easy, but the reward is GREAT. I want the world to see Jesus shining in me in my adversity. Doesn’t mean you can’t cry and admit that what you are facing is so very difficult, but this can be done with a surrendered heart. This is the new assignment. Accept it, receive it as something that is from a loving Father. Look for the provisions along the way. You will go from strength to strength. Move forward with hope. He’s got you!

“Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer.” Romans 12:12

  • Mom and Dad are here and now it’s officially Christmas! ❤️🎄❤️

I haven’t opened our home to host anything since 4 years ago when we got a dog and I lost complete control of the house. Also because this is a house of boys and the bathroom permanently smells like an outhouse and I’m a little self conscious about all of it. 🫠

But when your parents come to town, it’s time to dust off the plates that aren’t made out of paper and plan a delicious breakfast menu! ✨

The dog was absolutely thrilled to have so many new friends. Also he probably ate more than all of us combined. 😆

All is calm and all is bright! And even the toilets aren’t so bad! 🥲
  • ✨When we wake up, it will be Christmas!✨

I felt the Holy Spirit nudging me to bake a cake for a family very dear to us. I went to the store, bought the ingredients, and carefully followed the recipe. The recipe said multiple times not to overcook the cake because it will very easily become dry. So I watched the oven diligently. But when I pulled the cake out, I could tell it had baked a little too long.

God called me to bake this cake for this family. It wasn’t time to quit, but it wasn’t time to make another cake! So instead of getting discouraged, I chose to pray about it. I asked the Lord to take my offering and make much of it. If He can multiply the loaves and fish, He can moisten up a cake!

Precisely one day after delivering the cake, we received a text stating what I thought was impossible. The cake was good! Delicious even!

Seems silly to pray about an overcooked cake, but I believe God is honored in these small acts of faith. Believing in the impossible was something God asked Mary to do, so why not trust Him to do the impossible here, too?

What impossible thing can we bring to Him in prayer today? He loves to hear from us. He loves to delight and surprise us when we choose to believe He is good and powerful and kind. He is no magic genie, but I think when our desires align with His heart, when obedience is the priority, and we are fully surrendered come what may, we can trust He will do a good thing. 

“For nothing is impossible with God!” Luke 1:37

“He satisfies the hungry with good things.” Luke 1:53

Sleep tight, friends!

“He satisfies the hungry with good things.” Luke 1:53

Sleep tight, friends!

✨When we wake up, it will be Christmas!✨ I felt the Holy Spirit nudging me to bake a cake for a family very dear to us. I went to the store, bought the ingredients, and carefully followed the recipe. The recipe said multiple times not to overcook the cake because it will very easily become dry. So I watched the oven diligently. But when I pulled the cake out, I could tell it had baked a little too long. God called me to bake this cake for this family. It wasn’t time to quit, but it wasn’t time to make another cake! So instead of getting discouraged, I chose to pray about it. I asked the Lord to take my offering and make much of it. If He can multiply the loaves and fish, He can moisten up a cake! Precisely one day after delivering the cake, we received a text stating what I thought was impossible. The cake was good! Delicious even! Seems silly to pray about an overcooked cake, but I believe God is honored in these small acts of faith. Believing in the impossible was something God asked Mary to do, so why not trust Him to do the impossible here, too? What impossible thing can we bring to Him in prayer today? He loves to hear from us. He loves to delight and surprise us when we choose to believe He is good and powerful and kind. He is no magic genie, but I think when our desires align with His heart, when obedience is the priority, and we are fully surrendered come what may, we can trust He will do a good thing. “For nothing is impossible with God!” Luke 1:37 “He satisfies the hungry with good things.” Luke 1:53 Sleep tight, friends! ❤️💚🎄💚❤️
