The things your kids will remember don't have to be --and frankly, shouldn't be--the thing that every other kids remembers. Trying to be the perfect "pinterist mom" is a setup for failure. I think your version of easter is lovely and your kids will value time spent as a family doing things you love together, not trying to get the best photo for the 'gram.

My mom used to hide little chocolate eggs around the house during the night, and we'd wake up to a basket and a note to start a scavenger hunt. It was cheap entertainment for a full morning, while she got to sip her coffee and we opened all the cupboards and checked behind every book and knicknack for a little surprise. My sister and I would then dump our baskets on the floor in the living room and then divide up the chocolate evenly, so we each got the same (even though she was older and always 'found' more treats). That's what I remember: the excitement and curiosity of the search, and then learning about equity and sharing. Not punching other kids to be 'the best.'

You do you, mama. Your kids will appreciate it.
