Friday Picks

Happy Good Friday! For the first time in years, we had off from school today (typically Good Friday is a bad weather makeup day, but we had no snow days to make up this year) so my mom, sisters, and I took a trip to our local botanical gardens and did a little shopping. My grandparents are coming later today, and overall, I can't wait for Easter! I'm kind of upset that I never got to do a post about Easter, but who knows? I might do one on Sunday. Anyways, let's get into the links!

I hope you all have a great Easter weekend and you remember what it's really about. The extra day off from school and work, the candy, and the celebrations are great, but that's not what Easter is about. Easter is about how Jesus loved us so much that he died for us, and I hope y'all never forget that.

What are your plans for this weekend?
