Just wanted to remind everyone that Easter is almost here - and if you celebrate by doing the whole Easter basket thing - PLEASE rethink the whole go to kmart or walmart thing and buying the grass and the eggs and the baskets!!! Please check your local consignment stores and/or thrift stores for baskets/grass/eggs etc. - they have a lot of that stuff or post a want on freecycle.org - or re-use your stuff from last year. I went to the market the other night and looked down the Easter aisle and it made me want to gag (plus I am pretty sure all of that stuff is made in china - don't get me started). I don't know why anyone would buy all that stuff new every year- the kid's rip through it so fast -and my kid's don't know that the little eggs I put their candy in are 14 years old. : ) I swear I have been using some of the same grass and eggs since my son was little and he is 16!! Also, after the holiday -please don't throw any of it away. If you don't have the time or space to store it - take it to a thrift store so someone else can use it next year..
Thanks!
