easter

Some folks love them, some don't. But you'll have to admit, these dancing Easter peeps are pretty cool, even cute and funny at times! (Who thinks of these things?)

Candy is great in Easter baskets, but can wreak havoc with teeth and temperments, so how about some affordable alternatives, just to spice things up on Easter morning.

My fondest Easter tradition in my family was one my Dad would do every Easter by hiding jelly beans all over the house the night before. My sister and I would wake up Easter morning, and before we went to church, would dash around the house to see who could collect the most jelly beans.

Kids love to color Easter Eggs, but is the food dye dangerous to their health?  Some studies have linked various dyes to Hyperactivity, cancer and other diseases.  If you prefer to be on the safe side, you can make your own dye.

A Buffalo tradition kicks off this weekend with the Easter Season at the Broadway Market. Thousands throng to the market to take advantage of the amazing food items. My favorites include the butter lambs, Chocolate peeps, and angel wing pastry! The Easter bunny is there

I am looking forward to heading out to the Fisher Price Toy Store in East Aurora tomorrow to welcome the Easter Bunny!  Since my kids were little, I have spent a lot of time shopping there.  Tomorrow should be lots of fun!

Easter may seem far off, but stop by any store and the Easter candy is out already! I took a weekend trip to Oliver's in Batavia and they are ready for the season. Including a 35 pound Chocolate Rabbit. (I won't mention the price!) While buying things I shouldn't eat, I noticed the marsh mallow peeps.
