Easter preps in full swing

Never a dull moment in this household.

Sometimes I wish there was!

We are in the midst of Holy Week--the holiest week of the year for us.

Along with all of the solemn remembrances and services, we've got some cooking to do!

Not gonna let this year go by without attempting to make everything Mom made at Easter.

Will it taste the same? Will it even look the same? Time will tell.

Mom may be gone physically, but I know she wants me to continue our traditions, continue living, and carrying out all of the religious observances so near and dear to our hearts.

Forget about the house and making any headway on cleaning or decorating. Heck, I still have all of my Christmas stuff up. That will not come down until I have a free weekend to sort through every Christmas item, organize, and pack it back up to be placed in our Christmas closet until next Christmas season.

In the midst of filling 300 plastic eggs for our church kids and lots of cooking and baking to finish up over the next 48 hours!

I think I can do it.

I must do it.

It's tradition. I refuse to let a day go by without honoring Mom, her legacy, trying to make her and God proud and continuing on with life as I think it should be played out.
