Easter Weekend Fun (That Doesn’t Feel Like Work)

No need to overcomplicate things—Easter can be sweet and simple:

• Low-Key Egg Hunt: Keep it casual with eggs hidden around your backyard or living room. Add a few non-candy surprises like puzzle pieces or stickers.
• DIY Photo Booth: Grab a pastel sheet, cut out bunny ears, and let the kids pose with props—you’ll capture adorable memories without a photographer.
• Snackable Brunch Board: Create a grazing board with fruit, muffins, boiled eggs, and mini sandwiches. It’s festive and easy to clean up.

Pro tip: Let the kids help prep the hunt or assemble the board—it’s half the fun!

April Prep: Start the Month Off Smoothly

A little planning now = a lot less chaos later. Try these ideas to kick off the new month:

• Refresh Your Calendar: Add school events, birthdays, sports schedules, and yes—even some “do nothing” days.
• Spring Activity Sign-Ups: Don’t wait—check for sign-ups for camps, sports, or activities before they fill up.
• Mini Closet Refresh: Go through the kids’ wardrobes and pull anything that doesn’t fit. You’ll thank yourself later.

Hack: Use color-coded calendars for each family member—it’s a game-changer for staying organized.

Dinner Made Easier: Smart Tips for the Week Ahead

Let’s simplify dinner without resorting to cereal (again):

• Meal Plan Light: Plan 3–4 dinners max and leave space for leftovers or takeout. Less pressure = more success.
• Double-Up Ingredients: Use cooked chicken or ground turkey in two different meals to cut prep time.
• Prep When You Can: Chop veggies or marinate proteins when you’re already in the kitchen—it’ll pay off midweek.

Mom win: A little prep makes weeknights smoother and way less stressful.

Small Joys to Soak Up This Weekend

Because holidays are about more than the “stuff”:

• A sunny walk with your favorite playlist
• Easter storytime or a spring book before bed
• That first iced coffee of the season (you deserve it)

Reminder: You don’t have to do everything. Focus on what feels joyful—and let the rest go.
