Saturday before Easter day, most Moms like me have our hands tied on decorating the whole place with Easter decorations, and at the same time, thinking about the different meals to prepare for our Easter Sunday dinner. It has long been a tradition for my family not to plan anything on that particular day. For us, Easter is a day that brings everyone a new hope – a new tomorrow, a brand new beginning. This is the season that the birds come out from their hibernating place, the grass is turning a beautiful shade of green, flowers are beginning to bloom and trees are budding out – we love to welcome the spring.
Doing all of this, it is totally understandable that most Moms are having a hard time preparing everything on this very special day. If you are someone who already has your hands full and you are feeling stressed about the whole Easter Sunday preparation, here are some tips that can help you out.
1. One week before Easter Sunday, make sure that you have your plans made for Easter. For example, write all of the activities that you intend to do. Having a checklist may be of great help too. You can also make a checklist of the things that you have to buy and at the same time, the kind of decorations that you would be putting up. For example, for this year, maybe you plan to have an Easter egg hunt for both adults and children. Make sure that you have materials that you need for the egg baskets (if you intend to make them on your own), the paper that you would use to write those personalized letters to The Easter Bunny on and even the small treats for your children. Make sure that you have enough budget for this occasion. You don’t want to run short and end up not having everything you wanted to make the holiday special for the kids.
2. Perhaps after a day or two you can start shopping for the items in your checklist. On that same night, you may also decide it’s time for the kids to write their personalized Easter bunny letters. Remember, that most kids have been writing these letters all along, with or without your knowledge and they always hope to receive personalized Easter bunny letters, the real tip is to order those letters so you and your children can enjoy them. They will be the highlight of the holiday!
3. No later than the day before the Easter Sunday, you can go to the groceries and purchase your ingredient for your Easter Sunday dinner. Remember that it does not need to be a gourmet meal – even the simplest meals would do. It is the bond between you, your spouse, your kids and other family members that matters. You can just add some special messages along with your meals, perhaps a letter or an inspiring message before you eat your traditional Easter Sunday Dinner.
4. Kids are likely to wake up very early on Easter Sunday. Make sure that all of your preparations are done the night before or you will need to get up extremely early to beat them! Insure that the decorations, eggs and other items are ready.
