Challenge:
In your Easter Bonnet with all the frills upon it
WHERE IS MY BONNET?
I can't think of anytime in my childhood/adolescence/adult life where I was decked out with a bonnet or frills. I remember my Mom coaxing me to wear makeup when I was a teenager. And I can also remember thinking that if I brushed my hair super good for Prom that I would look quite polished.
Yeah I'd say I'm not so much the prim and proper type (shout out to my favorite British Matriarch Hyacinth Bucket (Bouquet!):
as I am the girly girl with stains and dirt in my finger nails (gross I know!):
Strangely this little task makes me realize that for me the Easter holiday was less about looking prim and proper as it was a time to get together with family, eat, and laugh. And as a kid I did most of my laughing as I was rolling down a hill or getting really messy--a girl can't wear a bonnet with that type of action going on can they? I look at my little girls and realize that a tradition I am passing on to them is to enjoy life, don't worry about getting messy or looking perfect. Have some fun--if you fall down get back up and try with all your might to not let the scrapes get you down.
