Awesome Christian Easter Basket Ideas
My kids both love Easter. In fact, they've been playing with last year's plastic Easter eggs at their Papa and Nana's house the last couple weeks. They hide them either in the house or out in the backyard. It's pretty cute, and it keeps them busy.

Each Easter I like to give them items the celebrate the true meaning of Easter -- Jesus Christ and His great love for us. I want them to celebrate … [Read more...]

Our Sunday Breakfast Party with the Princess Only
