Happy Easter from Uplifting Families!

Easter Sunday is an important holiday and is a day of celebration.  It is the day that of our Savior “Jesus Christ” returns from the dead.  He was resurrected three days after he died and he was placed into the tomb which was heavily guarded.  Easter is celebrated on Pentecost Sunday, which is the Sunday following Holy Week.  Many people attend church and spend time with their families on Easter Sunday.  Easter does not fall on a particular…

Whoa now. Did someone say leopard print Easter eggs?…

Easter Sunday is fast approaching. Not sure where to start to give your home an Easter twist? Take inspiration from things you like and admire and work them into your decor and scheme. Flowers are the easiest accent to transform your home into a bright re-creation of a garden – a look that’s perfect for Easter but doesn’t have to change post-holiday. Irises, lilies and grape hyacinths add brilliant pops of color to any arrangement. If you happen to have the actual bulbs, you can plant them…

Confession: I am completely over all the Easter candy. You would think the Easter bunny lived in my house based on the amount of chocolate bunnies, chicks and carrots currently residing here. Enough already. I love sugar as much as the next girl, but for the most part, I really try and limit giving sugar to my kids. My children have already dug into the stockpile of chocolate disguised as an Easter basket that was dropped off a few days ago by their loving Grandparents. This year the Easter…

I can’t believe that Easter is right around the corner.  I am always looking for fun things to make with my son and while at the grocery store last weekend I saw all the marshmallow peeps!  You know the cute little marshmallow candies in the shape of little chicks covered in colorful sugar.  Well now they make them covered in chocolate!  Since we love marshmallow peeps and I have tons of chocolate chips at home I thought my son and I could make our own chocolate covered marshmallow…

Who says that Easter baskets have to be just for kids! Last week I wrote about your child’s Easter basket being for more than just Chocolate. We think that the adults should have a little something-something too. For the them, the Easter basket is all about delicacies. Be prepared to be indulged!…

What are your plans for Easter weekend?

Last year we had all 5 of the kids and I took them to a local egg hunt. My hubby worked 7 days a week then (at his last job) and couldn’t go with me, but I was able to talk my mom into going to help out with the kids. It wouldn’t have been too difficult by myself, but since my son was just a year and a half he needed most of the attention. They split the area up into sections for different age groups and have games and little booths for…

It's always my goal to plan, throw, and coordinate a super cute and super affordable party. I have always "done" the decorations myself and know there are so many moms out there that do the same. I have created little party kits to help moms who want to "do it themselves" but still need a little boost with the design. I fell in love with design work solely by creating party invitations, cupcake toppers, and favor tags and bags for my own kids. I had no idea other people were as fanatical…
