Is It Wrong To Eat Your Kids Easter Candy? [POLL]

Jackie — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:41:26 +0000

My kids collected five Ziploc bags full of candy for Easter plus four chocolate bunnies so I have been helping them eat it. My husband insists that it is wrong of me to eat their candy because it is theirs. I know there is no way they will be able to eat all of the [...]

Things You Can Make with All Those Left Over Easter Eggs

Brad Weiser — Sun, 31 Mar 2013 14:38:00 +0000

I know that most Easter egg hunts have moved to the “plastic egg” variety instead of using real eggs. But it seems like real eggs make it into the mix one way or another… Especially if you have little kids that still like to color eggs. In either case, you’re probably going to find that you’ll [...]

If you haven’t seen this before, now is the time to watch it. It’s a piece of video art by Lernert Engleberts and Sander Plug as part of a preschool art project called “Big Art for Little People.” Watching it is an annual Easter tradition for us. You might find it a bit too creepy [...]

Daily Distraction — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 23:00:47 +0000

[onescreen item="5045137"] Seems like a waste of perfectly good eggs, doesn’t it? This whole forehead-egg-smashing thing comes in numerous forms. Some people just do it to themselves, others use a partner, and some of them are trying to set the world record for eggs smashed with your forehead. Everyone’s gotta have a dream, we guess. [...]

Cameron Simcik — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 19:00:27 +0000

In case you haven’t noticed, costumed characters can be super creepy. Remember those scary Santas? It’s the stuff of nightmares. Unfortunately, the Easter Bunny is no exception. Think about it– there’s nothing charming or adorable about a giant walking rabbit. It’s not normal, and it can be plain old terrifying. Don’t believe us? Then check [...]

You Won't Believe This, It's a War on Easter

Jackie — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 13:22:19 +0000

It's a war on Easter. According to ABC 4 - Seattle the city of Edmonds, Washington has changed the name of their official Easter Egg Hunt to just "Egg Hunt." Quote, "We want to welcome all citizens to our events, regardless of faith."

Do You Put Money or Candy In Plastic Easter Eggs?

Jackie — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 12:44:04 +0000

Every year we buy a mass amount of chocolate malt balls and jelly beans to fill plastic eggs for Easter. This year my husband suggested putting money in all of the eggs so that the kids wouldn’t have as much candy after Easter. If the kids only get money I think they will be disappointed. [...]

Make Your Own Marshmallow Peeps, Whether It's Easter or Not

Danny Gallagher — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 12:25:12 +0000

Easter features some of the tastiest treats of all times like Cadbury Creme Eggs and Heavenly Hash. (But not Mini Eggs. Whoever invented those chalky chocolate tablets clearly didn’t get Easter candy as a kid and is trying to punish the rest of us.)

Marshmallow Peeps may also be a traditional Easter candy, but they are still good on every other day on the calendar.

Make Your Own LED Easter Eggs

Terry Morgan — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:00:41 +0000

It's Easter! That means it's time for brightly colored Easter Eggs hid all over the house, which you may or may not ever find (until they start to smell). Instead of using real eggs this year, why not tech up your Easter a bit by creating your own LED Glowing Easter Eggs! The project is really simple, and once completed the glowing eggs look pretty decent. My son Jack, who is three, helped me build six of the little glowy eggs, and had a good time.

Here's the step by step tutorial to make your own LED Easter Eggs!

SELF Magazine has a list of easy ways to keep yourself from pigging out on Easter candy this weekend. Here are the top three.

1.) Only Eat Candy You LOVE. Reward yourself with your favorites, and skip the filler. So if you just KIND OF like jelly beans, don't eat any. They're empty calories, and there's not much payoff.

The Easter Bunny is once again hippity-hopping his way toward our brightly-colored baskets. And while we may never be able to find the logic in a rabbit that lays eggs, (?!?!) we CAN say with certainty that the adorable cotton tails in these videos are sweeter than a Cadbury Creme Egg…and far less likely to melt in your purse.

Do We Go Over-board on Easter Gifts?

Jackie — Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:20:20 +0000

Don't get me wrong I think Easter is an important Holiday, and everyone in our community seems to be very involved in Easter activities. But I think we go over board with gifts on Holidays like Valentines Day and Easter. My kids were truly a little disappointing this Valentines Day because all they received was chocolate when all of their friends received some sort of video game or toy.

Mithun Divakaran — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 15:40:44 +0000

An annual Easter egg hunt in Colorado Springs has been canceled this year because of misbehavior — by parents, not kids. Organizers of the neighborhood egg hunt say last year’s event saw parents go after the Easter eggs with a “no holds barred” attitude. The pushing and shoving got a bit too much, and became [...]

Jackie — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 13:48:47 +0000

Easter is one of my favorite Holidays. I look forward to Easter Service at Church, and I love to see my little boys hunt for Easter Eggs.

Year to year Easter is usually the same, but this year I was surprised when I arrived at mom's house and found everyone in the back yard shooting a bow and arrow.
