I'm all about making and documenting special memories, so I knew we'd want to take photos of the girls meeting characters at Disney World. We thought the girls would enjoy getting the characters' autographs too, so we got them little autograph books to take on the trip. It was Ken who thought of a great way to combine the two concepts!
By the reactions we were getting from the characters and Disney photographers there, this was a new idea that they hadn't seen before! Today I'm going to show you how to get your character meet & greet photos signed at Disney Parks!
Free Printable Easter Basket Tags (Real Meaning of Easter)
As the Easter bunny prepares to visit our homes in celebration of things that we associate with Spring, I like to try to find ways to remind my kids about the reason we celebrate Easter. I posted a little poem that I wrote last year that compares springtime symbols from Easter time to the real story of Easter, involving Jesus. I love this pretty Easter basket tag that Melissa Esplin created because it suggests that we take some time to look through our baskets to see how each item could relate to our Saviour. If you'd like some ideas, check out the post with the poem (there's a free printable there, too). :)

Free Printable Nesting Easter Envelopes & Cards
As I continue to share a collection of beautiful Easter printables with you this month, I'm excited about these beautiful Nesting Doll-style Easter Envelopes. They're a creative way to give someone a little gift that focuses on the real meaning of Easter. These were created by Heidi Swapp. Each envelope has a scripture reference inside. When you put them together, you'll be able to keep opening them and revealing a new message on each that helps to tell the story and miracle of Easter.
There are 5 envelopes that get progressively smaller, tucked inside each other. Opening them this way will allow the reader time to look up the scripture references and think about each one as the story unfolds.
These are the little messages inside of the envelopes:

Nutrition Facts Game & Grocery Giveaway
For the majority of my adult life, I seem to have subconsciously subscribed to the idea that you only need to worry about what you eat if you're trying to lose weight. I wasn't trying to lose weight, so I was telling myself that I could eat whatever I wanted with no consequences. Obviously, I knew that wasn't really true, but I was willing to ignore that as I blissfully ate as much junk food as I wanted (which, combined with a total lack of exercise, contributed to a general feeling of weakness and lack of energy). Finally, near the beginning of this year, I started to feel a stronger drive to improve my diet and actually incorporate exercise into my life. It has been great so far! I am excited to feel stronger and more energetic, and I'm happy to be teaching my children about the importance of health and the roles that exercise and nutrition play in that!
Nutrition Facts Challenge
I was thinking about the Nutrition Facts charts that can be found on all of our food packaging in Canada and I wondered what kind of an idea I had of what was in different foods that I eat. I decided to try an experiment: I grabbed a few cereals from my cupboard and took a picture of each with my phone (and of each of their Nutrition Facts tables).
I knew that the serving sizes were all different (one would be 3/4 cup of cereal, one would be 1 cup, and the oatmeal would be somewhere in between), but that the number of grams in each were about the same. Then I ignored the top part (so that the "1 packet" serving size wouldn't give away which chart I was looking at) and I tried to guess which table belonged with which cereal.
