Happy April Fool's Day! Totally excited about all the goodness over at House of 3.
but...also
fun in the Farrer home:
It's a family tradition to have 'Backwards Day' today.
When I was young, we'd complain to my mom about things like,
'Why do we always have to eat our dinner before we can have dessert?"
"Why do we always have to do our chores before we can play?"
"Why do we always have to do our homework before we can hang out!"

So, in her brilliance, she made a proclamation: One day a year we'd throw out all the 'rules' & do it backwards.
So...We wake up & do our daily schedule backwards! Dessert first.
Then , dinner.
Then, school...& after school we do our daily chores/jobs.
As a mom..it's fun to continue this fun tradition! My kids love dessert first! And so do i..i love the whole concept...dessert first.

My mom was very smart....we felt like at least one day out of the year we got to have it 'our way'. Dessert first. The best first...no waiting. best thing first. love it!

Traditionally, we always had strawberry shortcake. But, since we are Gluten Free now...

I stayed up making Pavlova for our traditional 'Backwards Day' dessert!
Thanks to my dear friend, Em, for introducing this delight! mmm*wah!

We woke up...had our strawberry Pavlova & it's SNOWING! Can you believe it?
Oh well...focus today on 'the best first'...treat your family. Make a craft. Decorate your house. Do a fun project...all before you have to do something else!
Make these cute Easter Bag Printables! It's refreshing!

Happy Backwards' day!
