Have you missed me?

I'll admit I haven't been as bloggy as usual lately. But there's a good reason, I promise. Want to know why? Watch this video to find out...

Thoughts on Easter...

I'm thinking a lot about how we'll celebrate Easter this weekend, and wishing I'd given it more thought before it snuck up on me. Since I only have a few minutes before Aaron's nap comes to an end, I'll quickly get to my point: I'm worried that all the fun with Easter eggs and candy and stuffed animals is going to get confused with the reality of the day. Easter is a celebration of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection - he paid for each of our sins with his own life. So how do I keep Jesus from becoming a fictional character amidst the egg hunts and photos with the Easter bunny? Can I keep Jesus the focus of our celebrations and still partake in all the cultural trappings that come with the day? I know a lot of you out there have young children, too, and are perhaps struggling with this same question. So what's your game plan? How will you make Jesus the star of your Easter celebration?

The Bread Art Challenge

My friend Rebecca has a great challenge on her blog today, and I took her up on it. :-)

A friend of mine posted about the Bread Art Project this week, and I thought it was super cool, so I participated, and I hope you'll think about it too!

Simply visit the website for the Bread Art Project, create a piece of artwork using a photo that you upload, and $1 will be donated to Feeding America. Feeding America works to help feed the hungry in all 50 states, DC and Puerto Rico, and their website says that a $1 donation helps them provide 10 pounds of food to people who are hungry.

So here's my very own bread art, made from our new Sharp Images logo:

Now it's your turn! Go to the Bread Art Project for yourself, make some fun art, and help those who are hungry. And send me the link to your art when you're done. I want to see how creative some of you can be. :-)
