The Stay at Home Mother

The Easter Bunny came hopping in to our home during the wee hours of the night and left waaaaaaaay too much chocolate! ;)

It doesn't help the matter either that the kids also had an egg hunt at a friend's Easter party yesterday - and have two other scheduled eater egg hunts at both sets of grandparents later today!

The kids want to share with mommy, but I have no desire to go near the chocolate this year.  Summer is going to be here in no time and I've spent the greater of six months trying to stay thin... but alas....I can see the chocolate handwriting on the wall.......

So are you ready for the great Easter egg hunt from the Easter Bunny?

Last week, like many other parents, I headed out to the mall in search of chocolate eggs, bunnies and candy.

It seems like every second month I am buying chocolates and/or candy! Case in point - Oct - Halloween candies, Dec - Christmas chocolates, Feb - Valentine candy (this was more than any other holiday so far celebrated!) and now alas - here is Easter.....

Tomorrow marks Easter Sunday, and a day my children have been looking forward to for the last few weeks. The Easter Bunny is making his way to our house (and to my mom's) to bring lots of love in the form of chocolate. :)

We are also hosting an Easter Dinner for my family and my sister's inlaws. I am really looking forward to it - as it has been some time since we have all been together. It is a day that will be filled with mixed emotions. On Friday this week, we received news that my Aunt passed away from Cancer...
