Love Thursday

Love is building family traditions, because traditions give a sense of continuity and belonging. One of our family traditions is around Easter. We always dye eggs, and have an egg hunt. Sometimes we do it outdoors, sometimes we do it indoors (read: too much snow!)



This year, I had been feeling particularly unprepared, but we managed to get our Easter prep shopping done about eight hours before Easter started. Not bad , eh? Procrastination is a fine art.



I would like to tell that we used all natural dyes, boiling our own, organically grown beets into stunning colours. But the reality is that we got whatever cheap egg dye packages we could find at Kmart, since sometimes practicality ranks higher than idealism.



Egg dying was fun, even without beet dye. Hmmm, maybe especially without beet dye, since I am not sure whether my kids would have appreciated it as much as I would.







Happy Love Thursday from our family to yours!
