This Easter isn’t an easy one. Some don’t get to see loved ones, don’t have any plans, can’t go spend the day with family, can’t afford Easter baskets or eggs. This year is definitely not easy.
Things might be strange & things might not feel okay but just know it will be okay. It will work out. You can make the most of today, if you don’t have easter things planned you can still make the days YOURS.
Read books together, watch movies, snuggle, eat popcorn, go for a walk, facetime your family, and enjoy the day. This isn’t what we all planned for… we didn’t plan to spend this day alone or have to tell our kids the Easter bunny isn’t coming this year.
To the mama who’s spending her Easter alone with her kids, it’s not okay and I’m praying for you.
To the family who’s not able to leave and see their loved ones because of lockdown, it’s not okay and I’m praying for you.
To the family member who’s stuck at work because it’s considered essential when you just want to be home with your family, it’s not okay and I’m praying for you.
To the one who’s currently quarantined because they might have covid-19 and they can’t see family, it’s not okay and I’m praying for you.
To the mama who isn’t able to get Easter stuff this year so you have to tell your kids the Easter bunny isn’t coming, it’s not okay BUT it’s not your fault and I’m praying for you.
None of this is okay, but the important thing is, it will be. Next year we can make it better, we can go above and beyond for those babies & make it the absolute best Easter they’ve ever had. They don’t understand and it isn’t easy trying to explain this.
I’m praying for each and every one of you. We are all in this together and I don’t think this will get easier, we just need to push through and do our best. Pray for one another, help one another however we can, we are a tribe and we are all hoping and praying for the same thing.
I’m here and I’m praying for you.

I’m trying to be as normal as I can this Easter so I did a little photo shoot with my kids. Just used some stuff I had around and tried to make the best of it. You’ve got this mama. I’m praying for you.
Thank you for your words of encouragement, this Easter was definitely more downing but we got through it. Thank you for your prayers. I love the mini shoot, they are too adorable❤
Easter wasn’t so bad, but I did grieve my daughters birthday. It was the first birthday of hers that I was mentally ok after having ppd her first birthday. We’re all struggling right now.
This is such a great reminder! Thank you?
I loved all the pictures at the end and seeing how you ended up celebrating it your own way. What a crazy year it’s been, huh?
Thank you for writing such a beautifully written post! Easter was defiantly hard this year, but we got through it as a family ? it’s been such a crazy start to 2020, and I pray for better days ? hope you and your family are staying safe and healthy!
