I whole-heartedly agree. I just went to Hobby Lobby yesterday and filled up my cart with Easter goodies, eggs and trinkets for my five kids’ baskets. As I was standing in the checkout line I looked down and realized that none of the things in my cart would teach my kids anything about the real meaning of Easter. I ended up walking out empty handed. Thankfully, your post has helped me think of new ways to keep the holiday cheery and bright without overshadowing the purpose of the day. Thank so much for the ideas.

I dearly love that dress, Nicki! I think it is so wonderful that you make her dress for her. I love that it is made with your grandmother’s fabric. What a treasure!

Your post is beautiful, sweetie!

Andrea- Pulling out the dresses from last summer is a GREAT idea! They’ll think they are new

I love that dress!! So cute. And I love that the fabric was from you grandmother.

We keep the commercialism down because we didn’t really grow up with Easter gifts so we don’t give them! Easy! We color eggs and hide them along with a few plastic eggs we fill with crackers or coins. Almost free! I haven’t even thought about Easter dresses. Maybe I should make them. Hmm… Or, maybe I’ll pull out the Summer dresses they haven’t seen in 8 months and they’ll be more than excited to wear one of them.

I can’t believe how commercialized Easter is! I know so many holidays are, but with Easter it bugs me more so than others. I like doing new clothes for church on Easter Sunday. Last year, it was just me who had something new. I was going to get the kids something, but they really didn’t need new church clothes and just wore the previous year’s matching neckties. This year, I think everyone will get a little something new, mainly because we are all due for some new dress clothes.

For the Easter basket, it’s usually just some treats and a small toy or book. Last year we did an egg hunt with friends and hopefully will do the same this year.
