So Easter is less than two weeks away. Breathe. It’s okay that you completely forgot there even was an Easter and have no ideas whatsoever about what to get the kids or what to bring to your aunt’s and, omg, they didn’t schedule a hockey game for Easter freaking morning, did they?! Or, you know, whatever it is you’re stressing about. That was just a wild guess.
As far as the kids go, all that matters is an impressive display of chocolate. And by impressive, I mean BIG and LOTS OF and LOOK! BUNNIES. They really don’t care about your selection of fine, artisanal, handcrafted eggs — especially if it’s a small selection. Last year I spent way too much money on not nearly enough chocolate at a better chocolate shop and then still wound up at the Walmart’s trying to fill out the stash at the last minute.
But if you really want to feel good this Easter, Kinder’s Joy to Share campaign supports the Children’s Miracle Network (a seriously good cause that gives money to children’s hospitals in your community) through their Kinder Seasonal Easter Products. Or you can make a personal donation online. The Kinder Facebook page also has some truly inspiring stories of families that have been touched by the Children’s Miracle Network in their local children’s hospitals.
As for us, I think getting up early to hunt for chocolate and then watching my son play one of the last hockey games of the season will make for a pretty fantastic Easter morning after all. And no potluck dinner can have enough salad, right? What’s your must-have Easter morning treat?
