I'm not sure about you, but Spring is flying by! I'm not sure if its because of coaching or all the extra stuff packed in my schedule, but I still can't believe that we are half way through April. Easter already came and gone and Mother's day is on the horizon. Part of me is feeling disappointed in myself for not launching a website as expected, barely making Easter shirts on time, and I am not doing Mother's day shirts or aprons. I even have a fundraising type project on my lap, but haven't had a chance to put it together with a clear mind. The one thing that I am doing, but not daily, is posting something encouraging on facebook. To all my PRAISEwear fan, I PROMISE that after track season, a NEW line of designs will be displayed and this summer will be a good time to get a website up and running. I am sorry if I have disappointed any of you or if none have you noticed, prayers would be appreciated. :)
Thanks and many blessings today.

Through the eyes of a 3yr old
Here is Jayden explaining the Easter Garden we made on Good Friday. Jayden talks about what cross Jesus died on, who died on the other crosses, what happened to Jesus' body after he died, how many days did he stay in the tomb and where he is today!
Jayden always says that Jesus died on the cross for our sins and a sin is being naughty. And being naughty is not listening, not sharing, being unloving and not being gentle with sister Maddy.
My heart melts teaching the kids about Jesus!

Easter Garden
I saw this super cool idea- Resurrection Garden on http://www.pinterest.com/ (from a college friends fb post) which led me to the blog of: http://wearethatfamily.com/2012/03/diy-mini-resurrection-garden/. I fell in love with this concept for many reasons. The main reason being that it was a great visual to teach my kids what Easter weekend is all about and felt that it was relative to make on Good Friday! Although Maddy is alittle young to understand and Jayden seems confused with 'Jesus is risen', the seed is planted and growing! :)
It was super easy and fun to make! We modified the DIY instructions of the project that suited our family as well as the availability of supplies at the store. Originally, my mind was set on the 2 inch mini terracotta flower pot, but Walmart only had the bigger ones. So I bought the bigger tray to accommodate the bigger flower pot. With two little ones in tow, the last thing I wanted to do is drive store to store to the perfect size flower pot.
Here's what you need for your Easter Garden:
1. Your sweetest blessing(s). Maddy was running around the yard, she eventually helped :)

2. pile of rocks- courtesy of our backyard
You can buy your preference of rock
3. Artifical flowers
(or plant grass seeds and watch it grow)
4. Big rock from Gramma's backyard
5. Terra Cotta plate from the gardening section at Wal-mart
6 twigs (from our backyard).
Super glue didn't work for us so I found brown thread from
my sewing kit and figure-eight the twigs together.
6. 4 inch mini flower pot
(I think the two inch would work better if you want a "hill" look shown on pinterest)
7. Potting soil
Thankfully we already had some at home
because we are planning on planting some flowers.
8. Set the mini flower pot on the plate
9. Moisture the soil and pat around the mini flower pot
Add rocks
10. Have your sweetest blessing(s) place the crosses in the soil.
11. Maddy added the final touches of the flowers
Final Look!
We are all so happy with the way it turned out!
HAPPY GOOD FRIDAY AND EASTER WEEKEND!
Blessings from our family to yours!

Believe it or not, but Easter is less than a month away! What does Easter mean to you?!
Its a great reflection on what Christ has done for YOU, US! The CROSS! I always think of the lyrics from "Here I am to Worship" http://youtu.be/qCeIKgdKrGc...'I'll never know how much it cost, to see my sin upon that cross'...by this point, I have both hands in the air, tears falling down my face because the cross means that much- wow! I can relate to that, can you? I mean really, I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross- too hard to comprehend...but what a gift that JESUS did that for ME, US! I know I sin everyday, but I always think of this scripture- "This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe. There is no difference, for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus." Romans 3:22-24.
Thank You Jesus!

Hey there fans!
If case you were wondering where I have been...I have embraced an amazing opportunity coaching high school long and triple jump. This has been an amazing blessing in my life and so grateful for it! My jumpers are great kids, all have hearts of gold, work hard and make me proud.
"whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God" 1 Corinthians 10:31
I am also so thankful for my amazing helping hands and sitters to help me watch my kids during this seasonal journey...friends are gifts from God to help us. That's how I feel about each family that has graciously opened their homes to my children. Thank you friends!!!
