Hi, everyone—Happy Spring!

Are your crocuses peeping out of the ground? Are your daffodils blooming? Spring is HERE. It’s really here! And I’m thinking about gardening, spring parties, and Easter. The holiday is a little late this year, but I just think of that as more time to plan...which I really need. After all, we’ve got decorating to do, eggs to color, and the Easter dinner to think about.

But, here’s the most important question: do you still have Easter egg hunts at your house? I’m not sure how much longer my kids will want to do Easter egg hunts (hopefully forever), but as of yesterday, Easter egg hunts are still cool. So the Easter Bunny is going all out for them this year. Ready. Set. Glow-in-the-dark eggs!

Isn’t that fun!? And it’s so easy…not to mention far less smelly. I KNOW I’m not the only one who has found a pink hard-boiled egg behind the couch weeks later…

All you need are glow bracelets—and the eggs, of course. I was able to get bracelets in packages of 12 or 16 at my local craft store. Bend the bracelets to activate the light, roll them into shape, and they should fit nicely inside the eggs. I’m always surprised how long the bracelets glow, but that juice doesn’t last forever. So, tell the kids to play with their DS or iPod for 20 minutes while the Easter Bunny stuffs the eggs...surely he won't forget to also put candy and money in there! If it’s a nice night, perhaps he'll hide the eggs outside. Otherwise, he'll hide them inside and turn off all the lights.

If you try this, let me know how you and your children like it! 

 From my home to yours,
