It’s Good Friday today. If you have been reflecting on Holy Week this week, I hope you’ve had some growth in spirit.
Are you ready for Easter Sunday? I’m never sure! At least I know that my brunch menu is already planned and ready to go.
Having a delicious Easter brunch buffet menu is a fun way to enjoy the Easter celebration. But you need recipes that you can make ahead of time… because who wants to miss the egg hunt?
Easter is such a joyous time!
It’s one of our family’s favorite days. After our church celebration, we always come home to have a special brunch together.
It used to be that I would spend most of my Easter morning in the kitchen cooking up everyone’s favorite foods. And you know, that tends to flat out suck the fun out of the day for mom.
(Because even if you love to cook like I do…getting a big meal together, especially in a time crunch when everyone is “Huuuuuuungry…is it done yeeeeeet???” is I’m-not-raising-my-voice-you-are kind of stressful.)
But who wants to miss out on the joy of your kids enjoying their Easter treats and hunting for eggs while you slave over a stove?
I needed a way to spend less time in the kitchen and more time soaking up some childhood joy.
So I began my search for foods that were still super yummy…but not so fussy that I had to spend the morning slaving over them.
It took some years for all of the right foods to come together. But now we have what I think is the perfect Easter brunch menu.
The rules for these Easter recipes are simple: the food be easy to make ahead, special for Easter, and (obviously) they must taste delicious!
This week will be a busy one. We are very busy with baseball and softball season gearing up, plus it’s Holy Week which means extra things to do. And I’d like to find some quiet time to reflect on the meaning of these days.
I still have hopes of accomplishing some things on our March Goals list, though. We are running out of time!

Each week, I like to share the 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week. This is a popular series, because I share a variety of ways a family can save money (beyond not buying Starbucks).
If you’d like to see other posts in the series, you can find them here.
Tired of picking up toys every day? It’s a constant battle to keep a small kids room clean. Here’s how to fix it.
Moms are tired.
So tired.
Tired of cleaning the same mess every day. Tired of losing our tempers after having the same kids clean up the same mess for the 10th time in a row.
Tired of stepping on Legos on the way to the crib to get the crying baby.
Many people avoid meal planning because it’s about as much fun as washing dishes. But if you consider how much money a plan can save you, it’s almost like being paid to do a chore! Does that make it any better?
March is halfway over. So when I put together my plan for this week, I looked back at my March check in for our yearly goals.
There are certain things that I’ve been procrastinating on, because I don’t love doing them. But I do want them to get done! Since I’m not going to pay someone else to do them, it’s high time that I knuckled down and got to work on some of them.
This is the 25th edition of the 5 Ways We’ve Saved Money This Week series! Writing this series each week really stretches me in the best frugal ways.
It’s a challenge to come up with 5 different ways each week. But I have to tell you that it really helps me to consider my purchases more carefully!
I'm Jamie, and I want to help you afford a beautiful life with your family. Learn more.
