Yes, it’s Easter tomorrow and a joyous event. However, here in Cincinnati people are also really looking forward to Monday. Baseball’s Opening Day and the Findlay Market Parade. My dad called me on Friday morning and asked if I wanted to take a field trip with the kids to the west side. Apparently there were
I decided to give this a try since we have TONS of hard boiled eggs for Easter. There are many variations of egg salad online…here’s the one I put together: EggsA couple of spoonfuls of Miracle WhipA few squirts of spicy brown mustardFresh diced chives from our backyardDiced onion
Do you need a simple Easter craft to do with your kid(s)? If you’ve been reading Take 10 for the last year, you probably know by now that I love fingerprint or thumbprint crafts. The St. Patrick’s Day Clovers, the Fall Tree, and the Reindeer ornaments are just a few things we’ve put together at
