Resurrection Eggs

One of Buddy's favorite traditions is our Easter egg hunt that we do for Family Home Evening on the Monday before Easter. It's a little different as the rewards inside the eggs are much bigger than chocolate and jelly beans. This is how we remember Christ the whole week.

If you are still looking for that perfect (easy!) lesson to teach your children about the Savior's final week and the sacrifices He made, this is the activity for you!

What you need:
12 plastic Easter eggs labeled with numbers 1-12
Items to fill the eggs (see picture)
The printable with the accompanying scriptures- found here

To put it together:
Cut each egg's scripture reference, fill the egg with the household items and the scripture.
Hide them.
Have your kiddos find them and line them up in the correct order.
Read through each scripture while emphasizing each part of the story.
Watch your testimonies grow!

*This isn't really an original idea but rather a compilation of the scriptures that I saw while researching a few years back that I wanted my children to learn*

Just "Popping in"...a fun reminder for General Conference

Did you think I had fallen off the face of the Earth? I sure have! I changed my description up top ^ to keep it real. I can only pop in from time to time as this new homeschooling momma's schedule allows. Ya'll are so sweet to keep up with me. I am still getting Pinterest hits and it amazes me! 

While we are on the subject of "popping in", check out this quick, easy and inexpensive reminder for General Conference that I whipped up! Go out and grab a box of microwavable popcorn, attach these cuties and remind the ladies you visit, your neighbors and your friends to "come listen to a Prophet's voice".

Have a great conference weekend!

To Claim the Embers

My heart is heavy today. Yesterday there was a palpable sadness in the air around me as I learned and witnessed so many strong, wonderful ladies going through the hardest trials I can imagine.
Then I was reminded- by the very ones who were hurting so- we have everything to look forward to. There is hope, and love and everything we need in our Savior and his Gospel.
There's not much I can do, but I did know that I couldn't go through my weekend without giving a gift to those ladies who emulate such perfect faith and courage.
I hope you enjoy this small reminder.
