Easter Traditions Worth Sharing

How fun is Easter. Girls in their Easter Dresses, Egg Hunts, celebrations, and excitement about the frost finally thawing across the country.

Our church hosts an Service on Easter Sunday at the Hollywood Bowl every year, so attending that service has become a wonderful part of our Easter Tradition. If you are ever in Los Angeles it is a not to be missed way to celebrate Easter!

I Set Out to Discover More Easter Traditions

The Easter Egg

My Eco Savvy Friends Dye Easter Eggs too… only they don’t grab a dye kit for this fun activity… they turn instead to the spice rack, and the produce isle! What a simple fun way to get children involved in having fun with their food!

Naturally Colorful - from Debra at Bungalow

Beets, cabbage, coffee and grass are a few of the ingredients that will lend just the hue you are after for your eggs this holiday season. You can learn how Debra did her eggs over at Blissfully Domestic.

Lisa Douglas from Adventures In Parenting has a great post on naturally dying Easter eggs. Plus, she adds some information that hopefully make us think twice before grabbing those handy kits from the market.

And… let’s face it… Egg Dying can get messy… so for a few tips on the chaos that can ensue when color and children intersect… read Lolli’s tips from Better In Bulk she’ll share wisdom like don’t leave 4 kids alone in a kitchen with 8 cups of dye!

Beyond The Basket

I love hearing inspiration that takes a step back from the commercialism. Last year instead of Baskets, Gena Morris from the Morris bunch gave her lil’s Bibles, this year everyone is getting covers. An approach like seems like it would reinforce family beliefs and values.

Borrow A Tradition

Cascarones (Confetti Eggs) are a Mexican Tradition that looks like a lot of fun… maybe too much fun. I’m not sure this is one for me. I can imagine trying to de-glitter my home & yard for months after Easter – I bet Lil Diva & Dude would love it!!! This post was shared with my by Carrie Ferguson Weir of Tiki Tiki Blog and they have all the instructions you need to craft Cascarones of your own this Easter!

Easter Coloring

OK – coloring may not be an Easter Tradition, but Winnie the Pooh is certainly a family tradition in our home and when I saw these I knew they would be a great to have on hand when you need a quiet moment at Brunch or Dinner.
