The first time I saw this idea was in an elementary school office. Perhaps they were attempting to make the office more friendly? Then my niece made a pile of these to sell at a school fundraiser and she gave me one, which I treasured. What am I talking about? The lovely, colorful, beautiful, uber cool, spectacular, pencil with a fake flower taped to it. What kid, particularly girls, wouldn't feel more interested in writing with these babies in hand? Since I don't have any girls, my boys get to use them. And guess what? They don't mind at all.

The Easel
Our easel is one of the most used items in our home. We use it every day for school - mostly the whiteboard side. The boys also use the chalkboard sometimes and enjoy drawing/painting on the paper roll. I was so happy to be able to get one from IKEA here in Poland, just like the one we have at home, inexpensive, sturdy, and just so handy. I cannot tell you how much I recommend having one of these in your home! (I have this dream of someday putting an easel by the sidewalk in front of our house, with a different quote on it every day, that passersby can read.)

These might be my favorite eggs, ever! I'm a sucker for all things "natural" and dyeing eggs this way was such a pleasure:

Easter Nests
We might not have plastic eggs or jelly beans this year, but do not fret, we are still having a festive time! Of course, we focus on the reason for Easter, a celebration of Christ dying for us and rising from the grave (much like Christmas, it's too easy to get wrapped up in the commercialization, but we all know this, right?). We also embrace the traditional fun of baskets and egg hunts. So, what to do this year?
