It’s my first Easter morning with my daughter. The eggs are hidden, the basket is filled. I get up early to make a delicious special breakfast. Last night I laid out the ingredients for a maple oatmeal muffin recipe I wanted to try (with a few alterations to make them slightly more healthful). Making them “healthful” combined with my inability to discern a tablespoon from a teaspoon resulted in perhaps the most ugly muffin in the world. Pretty they are not – my daughter determined, “Well, you shouldn’t put these in a magazine!” But the taste was delightful however the texture a bit crumbly. Read more
Just finished the traditional dyeing of the eggs. Aren’t they gorgeous? For some reason the pink dye was really crummy and failed to produce bright enough color. No worries – I may not have food coloring but I do have watercolor pigment! I will solve this problem in no time….
I doesn’t really work. Kind of makes the eggs come out blotchy. And probably poisoned from the paint. Luckily there’s a few that did not get watercolor all over. Looking forward to sprinkling some hard boiled (non-toxic) eggs on my salad tomorrow 
Did you dye eggs this year? Kind of fun, huh?
My daughter made a bunny craft at our favorite neighbor’s house. A few days later she decides that it is really great and she should share her expertise with the world. She got as far as the materials list in her tutorial. She’s eight. Give her a break. I am so proud that my crafty-project-oriented personality is rubbing off on my little princess. Normally she isn’t terribly excited about art or what I do…but I can just see it now…Mom and daughter crafty queens….So in case you are in the market for a fun, fuzzy bunny craft have we got the project for you! At least the materials… Enjoy!
