What to do with all those Easter eggs
I know I’m a bit early with my Easter egg tips, but April 4 will be here before we know it, trust me.
I was inspired to share after flipping through the latest edition of Family Fun magazine, a Disney publication that I got for the amazing price of $4.29 for a year’s subscription on a tip from a favorite blogger (and friend) of mine. (Check her awesome deals and witty writing at frombottle2box.com — the title refers to her money-saving switch from expensive bottled wines to the asceptic varietal.)
Anywho, back to Easter eggs. When I was cleaning out the pantry the other day, I found a Nickelodeon egg-dyeing kit (that I can’t even remember purchasing), so we are good to go on that front.
I can’t imagine not dyeing eggs! I even made Hubby do it before we had kids. Now it’s an engaging activity for us all. I just make sure we’re all wearing grubby clothes, which makes the pictures even more precious.
After the dyeing, hiding, finding, the problem becomes: What to do with all those boiled eggs?
Family Fun provided the answer with this article on upgrading the underappreciated deviled egg. Their creations are just too cute!
(Although AllFreeCrafts.com offers an equally adorable chickie.)
Now that I have a plan, that basket of Easter eggs will no longer taunt me each time I open the refrigerator door.

Yes, keep the egg dippers from year to year!! Every year, my hubby makes a run around the house for wire hangers. Then he’s off to the garage to find a wire cutter. Each and every kid gets their own dipper or it’s unbearable.

ooohhh, I forgot to mention: Buy a kit that includes a wax crayon so you can personalize the eggs before you dye. And keep the crayons and egg dippers from year to year to reduce squabbles (we stash ours in a baggie in the junk drawer).
