Happy Easter from our family to yours! He is risen Happy Easter from our family to yours! He is risen! Христос воскрес! 🕊✝️💗
This strange season of life has brought on a rolle This strange season of life has brought on a rollercoaster of emotions. But whether we are celebrating or mourning, thriving or surviving, questioning or trusting, we can't lose sight of hope. "In [God's] great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." (1 Peter 1:3) 💗 I'd love to hear what you and your family have planned for tomorrow?!
Mom fail: Throughout yesterday's nature walk and l Mom fail: Throughout yesterday's nature walk and later when we were dyeing the eggs I explained the meaning of Easter for Mila in terms I thought she might understand. I kept it short and simple and basically said that Jesus gave us the best gift in the world – eternal life – and that the eggs we were dyeing are a symbol of life – which reminds us of the gift from Jesus. She was very interested in what I was saying and kept repeating things back to me like she actually understood. Later that day when my husband came home from work I asked Mila if she wanted to tell daddy what she learned about Easter. Yes! – she said enthusiastically... "We will go to church one day and bring the eggs and the chickens will come and they will eat the eggs!" 😳😑 "And Jesus gave us a gift!" she added. Oh we're finally getting somewhere – I thought to myself. "What kind of gift?" I inquired. "...a blue one!" 😆 Blue is her favorite color so she might be on to something... But needless to say we will try again next year. P.S. I shared the tutorial for how we dyed these in my Stories.

What's yours?
We uncovered the floors at the house and I cannot We uncovered the floors at the house and I cannot believe we are so so close to being finished! I better start sourcing furniture if I want to stage this place in time! P.S. Can you spot the new exterior color and deck through the windows? 😮 P.S.S. Yes I know a lot is happening in the world right now but I'm choosing to redirect my energy to more productive things instead of breaking my brain trying to figure out this madness.

Side note: why are there so many things?! ••• But in case you were wondering...I am definitely team "Light Fixtures in the Bedroom." ☺️ I understand that some may prefer a fan to help cool a room. If you're renovating for yourself and a fan is an absolute necessity for your lifestyle then by all means put the fan up. BUT if you're looking to market a home for sale (and especially if you plan to stage the house) then go for the beautiful light fixture. No buyer has ever walked into a room and said "my goodness what a gorgeous fan!" but it's not uncommon to hear "look at that beautiful chandelier – such a statement!" and we all know first impressions are important in real estate. ••• Psychologists say that we make up our mind about a person within the first fifteen seconds of meeting them and I think the same is true of a house. So yes...when selling go for what looks best – at least that's my rationale and I'm sticking to it. 😆 Besides...it's a very easy change if someone is a diehard fan fan...see what I did there??? ••• P.S. We've been cooped up in the house for far too long. ••• P.S.S. The end vote was 50|50 in my stories.
