This bunny cake is a festive dessert for Easter, but it can be made anytime of the year for celebrations such as the first day of spring, a child's birthday or Passover. The construction isn't complicated, and it takes no icing skills to get the fuzzy bunny fur just right. Kids can help with the fur and adding the face, too.
Yesterday, I attended my son’s grade one school Passover Seder. For those of you who don’t know, a Seder is a Jewish ritual feast /meal that marks the beginning of Passover (our Easter, I guess you could say). Of course I was proud. Of course we were all there, with camera, and video camera, holding onto every word, every song with bated breath. And oh we were proud. The kids were over the top. Incredible. And while sitting in the synagogue, just before their “show,” some of the moms asked me where I was going for my two Seders/dinners next week. The women were talking about how they’d been cooking and preparing all week and how exhausted they are. And when I left the synagogue, I couldn’t help but reflect upon the conversation while on my way to Pilates class. By the way, I love this picture of “The White House Seder.”
Watch out for the wee folk"little leprechauns, that is! It’s time for
“the wearing o’ the green” as we celebrate everything Irish. Host a
St. Patty’s Day party with festive four-leafed invitations, Emerald
Isle food and Lucky Leprechaun games. It’s easy being green on St.
Patrick’s Day!
Stroll on over to your local Krispy Kreme and you can custom design your multi-tiered donut pyramid. Krispy Kreme will dye the frosting to just about any color in the Crayola crayon box.
Why is it that the day we’re supposed to celebrate the person who makes us feel the most special ends up being the day that makes us feel the most stressed? What should I get them? What will they get me? Is this romantic enough? Should we go somewhere fancy or spend an intimate night in? Whatever the stresses are, it usually ends up being about expectations, and whether you or your special someone meets them. What ends up on the sidelines is the reason for the holiday in the first place. Love.
