Amid the odd circumstances of this Easter, we’ve tried to keep our traditions. Streaming religious services isn’t the same as being there, but I’m grateful we’re at least able to do that.

We prayed a modified Stations of the Cross that became part scavenger hunt when the 7-year-old hung the fourteen photos randomly around the house. We made Resurrection eggs (search Pinterest for examples), baked Hot Cross Muffins (found here) and Paska bread, dyed eggs, and in place of the Easter flowers we usually buy, my daughter picked us a bouquet of violets. We’ll re-read a new favorite Easter book, The Other Side of Easter by Beth Gully.

It’s all lovely. But there’s a subtle undercurrent that something’s not right.

If you’re expecting a charming and witty run-down of Easter festivities, you many want to keep moving. If, on the other hand, you have about two minutes to glimpse a REAL Easter, scroll on.

Holy Week started with one sick kid at home and my slicing open my pinky on a tin can, so let’s just set the bar accordingly, shall we? LOW.

As I adapted to life with a pinky splint and multiple sick kids, a silver lining did emerge. I could not manage washing dishes with said splint and therefore am enjoying a week-long dishwashing reprieve.
