At the Easter egg hunt in the park this past weekend, it was a bit cool and the kids had to bundle up. Loved this pretty red and pink jacket!

    Hi! How cute, seeing all the kids and their families for an Easter egg hunt! Too bad it was so chilly, but I hear Easter is supposed to be pretty nice out, at least in my neck of the “great northeast”! As for the recipe, I just recently posted some “birds nests” myself, but yours are different. I’ve never tried them like this before! Thanks for sharing the recipe!.. Happy Rednesday! ~tina

    The hyacinth and Bradford Pear are so pretty. I’ve enjoyed watching the trees bloom this Spring, as always. I hope you’ll drop by AtticMag #8 to see the butterflies.
