When we got home, the boys made their way to the kitchen island – a spot where our crew spends lots of time together, and I explained to them that we were each going to put together a spring scene that we could eat! : I showed them how we were going to use chocolate candies to decorate our cookies… transforming each one in to a brightly colored spring flower. : We also used chocolate candies to create a sun and then a large marshmallow to represent a cloud that gives rain to the flower – discussing all of the important things a plant needs to grow and thrive.

All things springtime are fun for sure, but adding faith-based resources to each child’s basket is really important to me. In this post, I’m sharing some of my favorite Christian Easter Basket Ideas and my hope is that it will inspire you as you put together baskets for your own kids. My kids love M&Ms and all things Reese’s, and my hubby’s favorite is Cadbury Caramel Eggs. • Summer Tops and Swimwear (from last year’s spring/summer clearance racks! )

If daddy’s at work, we’re at home staying in our routine, but our official school year usually runs from the day after Labor Day to the Friday before Memorial Day. Caleb enjoyed the practices and games so much that he smiled the whole time, but what the coach didn’t know is that about half-way through the season – during practice one night – a boy on another team said something so.mean. When Caleb told me about it, I said all the right things to him…you know, about being kind in return and all of that, but what I wanted to do was walk over and ask little Meanie Face if he always treated people like garbage or if this was just a special experience he’d saved for us Thursday Game Nights are such a fun way for us to not only play fun family games together, but they also give us time to play educational games at a time when daddy is home and can be involved in our learning.

Reading Eggs reached out about wanting to connect with the This Little Home of Mine audience, so we decided to give their program a try! This gives Reading Eggs the information it needs to provide each child with individualized lessons that work for them! So excited we’ve officially added Reading Eggs/MathSeeds to our homeschooling lifestyle and loving the parent area that allows me to track each child’s progress as they go! Mommy lets us use Reading Eggs when: • she’s working on homeschooling lessons with our brother(s) or sister(s).
