#Your kids will actually love these!
Do you ever feel like every holiday is centered around sugar? I do. While I know the major holidays in my life have a much deeper meaning, it seems like food is often the focus. For example, we just took our kids to an Easter Egg hunt at church last week. They both came home with a bucket full of candy; way too much candy. Sugar rush, anyone?
Now, I love candy as much as any mom on the verge of a breakdown, but too much is not a good thing. Too much, and my kiddos are bouncing off the walls like crazy, which only makes me crazier. Maybe you’re thinking, “Okay, just don’t give it to them all at once.” Well, duh, I know that! But, I also know the more candy we have the more tempting it is for everyone (me included).
So, to help save a little bit of my sanity and yours, I have compiled a list of Easter Egg fillers that aren’t candy. I think you and your kids will love these!

Our family Easter Egg hunt is one of my favorite Easter traditions, along with dying eggs and sunrise service on Easter morning. How does your family celebrate Easter?
I would love to hear from you!
