    I have a tip for you. After boiling your eggs and adding cool water. Just set your pot in the snow bank/porch.
    And good job on basket ideas.

    I make Easter eggs without using food coloring and people love them.I use 100 % silk material cut into squares big enough to wrap an egg in then cover it with a pice of whit cotton material,put them in water to boil with a couple Tablespoons of vinegar then when they cool off just unwrap them and you have some awesome looking eggs

    Love the lamb & rabbit molds.
    They look vintage. 🐑🐰🐇
    That Egg-Mazing Decorator looks like fun & easy to decorate eggs. Much cleaner too! No egg dye everywhere! 😂
    My Mother aka Easter Bunny hid the eggs in the house but our baskets were the first thing we saw when we woke up. I'd get a white chocolate lamb every year & other treats.
    We'd get dressed up in our Easter finest and go to church. Then off to my grandparents house for Easter dinner and more Easter egg hunting.
    My grandmother always cooked holiday dinners. Great memories!
    Have a blessed Easter! 🌺🌸🌷🏵️🌻

    I don’t know if you knew this or not but in a lot of cases especially at Walmart a boys size 16 is an adult men’s size small so if you find something in the boys section and you want to see if they have it a little bit cheaper the men’s size, small and medium are usually a little bit cheaper

    If you put your hands inside the lapels of the suit jacket and fold shoulder-shoulder inside out (so the lining material is on the outside with the arms trapped inside), the suit will be less likely to get dirty and to get creased. I used to work in the suit department of a department store and we would fold like this if they weren't being boxed up. When boxing, you're best using tissue paper and creating the fewest amount of creases possible.

    We do the golden egg every year and whoever finds the egg gets a set amount of money. We make a golden color by combining egg dyes until we get gold then leave a hard boiled egg in it for a few hours until it is so bright it wont be confused with any other "gold" colored egg. The kids always enjoyed searching for eggs, we combined real eggs and plastic for hunting. In the plastic eggs we put slips of paper with silly things to do, go tell dad a joke, ask grandma how Easter was when she was little, getting them to interact with the family is always good, once they were done the adult give them their prize, or some change. We do it this way due to lost eggs with money in them one year. We learned fast slips of paper works fine. Hope you have a blessed Easter. Until next time much love.

    The egg decorating looks so fun. I'd love doing that now never mind being a kid 😂 I love the Easter baskets too. It's a really fun idea. When I was a kid we just got Easter eggs and maybe some money but I don't really want to do that this year as they still have a lot of chocolate from Christmas so I'm thinking maybe an outfit and games instead but I like the idea of maybe putting some of their favourite things in a basket as well. I hope you all have a great Easter. I'm sure the boys will love their baskets.
