I Want Candy!!

I started prepping for Easter last night.  I love arranging flowers, prepping my menu, and setting the table.

And as I was filling these Depression glass baskets with jelly beans, I got to thinking about how candy has become the nucleus of most holidays.  It’s not just for Halloween anymore.  I guess not a bad thing; certainly comes in handy for those like us carrying a substantial sweet tooth.

Regardless, I was thrilled to have found a palette of jelly beans that match my table runner perfectly.

But before I knew it, we had all this candy.  Do you think we went overboard?

Perhaps.

I mean really.  Look at all this.  Good thing we visit our dentist regularly.

Sean and I do our best to teach Mac and Caroline the true meaning of Easter, and just how special of a holiday it is.  I could go there, saying that Easter has become just as commercial as the rest of the holidays.  But I feel what is the most important thing is quality family time, and loving your children infinitely.   Instilling good morals and values.  All that good stuff.

And as a parent, I’ve got to be honest;  a little candy does go a long way, if you know what I mean.
