I have been so busy lately with my boys, schooling, ministry and have had so many ideas about how I want to celebrate and teach my boys about the Resurrection. I wish I could do all of them but that probably won't happen!! So I came up with a last minute list that I thought I could share with all of you. I hope it helps!!
Easter Garden
So one thing that I am doing today is this. I already made one last week and nothing has grown... so we are doing a do over!!
For Homeschooling Mommas I highly recommend
Homeschool Creations. There a lot of great ideas and encouragement here. Check it out!!
Family Time
This is something you can do as a family. I like that I will be focusing on the last days before Easter. I will be reading passages and most likely renacting them or explaining them to our boys. If you haven't heard of Thriving Family Magazine - IT IS WONDERFUL!! It is by Focus on the Family.

In the Kitchen - Resurrection Cookies
I plan on being in the kitchen with my boys on Friday. We will be making these Resurrection Cookies
You can find the recipe at
The Alabaster Jar. Jolene Engle is a wonderful woman of God. On the post she has many other ideas to do. Her blog is wonderful!!
Mini- Movie
I believe that visuals are so important for a child to grasp the meaning of anything - at least for my boys it's a must!! So I thought of sharing this 3 minute video with them. The greatest part is that it is narrated by two little girls. It is a must see!!
Worship House Kids - A Very Special Sunday
Momma Reads
Here is a list of recommended reading. I love to read... especially when I have time!!! So I thought I would share this as well.

THIS BOOK IS A MUST ! The illustrations are beautiful!

I will be putting up a new "page" on my blog for Sunday School Teachers. I myself am a Sunday School Teacher and the Director of Children's Ministry at our church. I would love to get some feed back as to how many Sunday School Teachers follow and what kind of help/ideas you would like - crafts, lessons, discipline, etc. I love to help!!! So please just leave me a comment and I will respond ASAP!! If you know of any other Sunday School Teachers spread the word to follow along!!
I hope pray and hope you have a BLESSED EASTER, celebrating in teaching God's AMAZING LOVE!!
By His GRACE,
