Easter time is all about eggs for some people, but in our household things are a little bit different. Although we are not religious, we celebrate Easter as it’s a great time of year to bring the family together and enjoy some great quality time. I also love using as the perfect opportunity to treat the children to something lovely. My children are inundated with chocolate eggs from family, friends and even school and although I have no problem with them eating a bit of chocolate, I do love to treat them to something that will last a little bit longer. In fact, we still have some of last years eggs left in the kitchen!! I will be doing some posts on Easter Activities over the next few weeks in the run up to Easter and the school half term, alot of which won’t involve and money but just some family fun time, but there will also be some fabulous Gift Guides which I have spent a lot of time researching.
Next up is babies. Now obviously if a baby is very young then they will not be eating chocolate, but I still loved treating my children when they were tiny.
