On my closet doorknob, waiting in the dark, was my light blue sailor dress, with a large collar and bow front, and a white cardigan with fake pearl buttons. My outfit was ready for me to slip on, buckle my white patin shoes and head to the big white church on the hill.
Do you remember the days of waking up on Easter morning to a tall, colored wicker basket, plastic green grass, primary colored plastic eggs, and a hollow chocolate bunny that looked better than it tasted? I sure do. Those were sweet memories. As an adult, I miss those days.
Besides those closest to you, who do you know that needs an Easter basket? What opportunity have you been given to show the true Easter spirit to an underprivileged child in your kiddos' school, a widow in your community, or maybe a friend that's lost their job and hoping that they can pay their food bill for Easter lunch?
Get creative and you could win a set of Resurrection Eggs!
To be entered, just leave a comment sharing who you're giving an Easter basket to this year and why. The winner will be announced on Monday, March 30th.

I've been intending to start practicing random acts of kindness with my kids this year, and it's taken me this long to get started. Anyhow, inspired by these eggs, my children and I are going to put together 2 Easter baskets filled with pre-packaged candies and treats (read: tamper-safe). Then, we're going to go sit on a bench near our house, where many families take walks. Each of my children (hence the 2 baskets) will get to give their basket to anybody on the trail that they want to. It will be up to them and totally random. I am so excited!
