Easter is only days away, so it’s time to decorate eggs! This past weekend, we hosted a charming Easter egg decorating party for our children and their cousins.

Rather than panic, I think I’ll just eat a quart of local strawberries, enjoy the start of my favorite season, and forget about the overwhelming list of stuff to do before It #2’s arrival in August.
