Easter Fun Facts!
I hope that nobody minds my tiny obsession with useless knowledge concerning statistics and facts about food and holidays. I happen to think that knowing a plethora of nonsensical information is an incredibly fun conversation starter, especially in awkward or uncomfortable moments. Although DearSugar may not approve, I'm all for avoiding horrid questions by quickly changing the subject.
Yum Market Finds: Easter Basket Chocolates
Easter is this weekend and if you are running around like a chicken with your head cut off looking for goodies to fill your loved one's Easter baskets why not consider a few cool chocolate treats?

Plan Ahead For the Perfect Easter Basket
Easter goodie aisles at drug, craft and grocery stores are overflowing with robin eggs and chocolate delights, but if you'd rather bring home a bunch of bunnies then give your children a basketful of candy — the secret to Easter basket success is planning ahead and purchasing one medium sized treat (like a stuffed animal or book that's under $20) and a few healthy snacks or mini toys.
- Aim for an inexpensive basket like this festive Colored Easter Basket ($6) from Pottery Barn Kids. If you don't want to make a mess skip the fake grass and use tissue paper.
- Forgo candy and instead fill your basket with toys that will last longer than a single sweet moment.
Delilicious: Chocolate-Covered Peeps on Sticks
Inspired by the book Peeps: Recipes and Crafts to Make With Your Favorite Marshmallow Treat, my bakers-in-training and I set out to dress up the colorful Easter staple. I heated chocolate chips in a double boiler, scooped the chocolate into a bowl, and helped my lil ones spread it on Peeps, which we had impaled with Popsicle sticks. The result was a semihomemade treat that would be perfect for a family garden party, play date, or preschool celebration.
Holiday Eating Tip: Healthier Easter Basket
Easter is coming up this Sunday, and for those of you who celebrate and are also trying to watch your weight, this means another holiday of dealing with candy and sweets. The positive side is that there is no rule that says you have to fill your Easter basket with pounds of chocolate eggs and jellybeans. Fill your basket with these healthier alternatives instead:
- Carrots (since the Easter Bunny likes to share)
- Fresh fruit
- Homemade cookies that are filled with healthy ingredients like oats, raisins, dried cranberries, walnuts, and dark chocolate chips
- Bars of Dark chocolate
- Colored eggs made with homemade dyes
- Dark chocolate covered peanuts, pretzels, or raisins
- Mini banana bread muffins
- Fitness DVDs
- A scented candle
- Animal shaped hand soaps (my girls love these)
Trendtotting: The Perfect Easter Outfit For Girls
Easter Sunday is swiftly approaching, which means moms are running around searching for Easter baskets, eggs and goodies and pretty outfits for Easter photos. While I don't think children's fashion rules should be stiff, it is traditionally the date we are allowed (and encouraged!) to wear white again. Embrace floral prints, pastels and all things Spring with a youthful and fun look for your daughter that can withstand a chocolate smear and egg hunt in the yard.
Happy Easter!
Happy Easter, readers! I hope you have a safe and pleasant holiday with your friends and family, filled with plenty of festive Easter décor and delicious eats. Don't go overboard on the chocolate bunnies!Source
