Highlights: Easter + Sponsor Shout Out

Published on April 13, 2014 By Emily. Updated on April 13, 2014

Can you believe Easter is only a week away?  Are you ready? I’m not, on a practical or spiritual level.  I always intend to prepare myself more for the major Christian holidays and spend more time soaking in their significance, but making that a priority is much easier said than done, though the She Reads Truth series on Lent and my own self-imposed sacrifice have helped focus me somewhat.  That said,  our spring break at school begins the Friday before Easter this year, meaning that this week will be more about finishing up loose ends in my classroom than contemplating the Resurrection.

I’m looking forward to Easter though.  This week spring has really sprung in the Berkshires and it’s easy to get excited about new life on all levels.  Brian and I don’t have much in the way of Easter traditions yet; since we’ve been married we’ve celebrated Easter at the home of friends, hosted his parents and cooked the meal for our friends.  Honestly, I’m not even sure what we did last year.  This year we’ll be having some friends from church over for Easter lunch.  I haven’t decided yet what I’ll be serving, but I think it will be fairly traditional.  Or maybe I’ll make something from one of the links below!

Not only do I love the name Stress Baking for a food blog, but the content of the site is pretty awesome too.  The recipe index is full of incredible looking baked goods and I’ve saved a couple recipes already.

But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
