\"\"It\u2019s Easter Monday and I have what can only be described as a holiday hangover. But not from alcohol \u2013 I only had one peach Bellini yesterday, tossed back in between flipping Easter egg-shaped pancakes and stirring pesto gnocchi. Hardly hangover-inducing.<\/p>\n

No, I have a hangover that only results from the pursuit of too much FUN. Too many activities crammed into one weekend. Too many Pinterest projects for too many celebrations. Not enough sleep.<\/p>\n

But this is my life as a mom, a legacy I inherited from my own mother (who knows how to inject fun into every minute of every day and has taught me well). I am on an endless quest as a mother to find magic in the big moments and magic in the little moments too.<\/p>\n

The result: I\u2019m #NeverDoneWithFun.<\/p>\n

I know I have a tendency to overdo it, a tendency that\u2019s never more apparent than on big \u201cevent\u201d weekends like Easter. But for me, a holiday or other special event is an opportunity to bring together alllllll of the things I love: Baking, cooking, getting creative in the kitchen. Getting my hands messy with arts and crafts. Introducing my boys to cherished experiences I remember from my childhood. Establishing new traditions for our little family of 4, and sharing old traditions with extended family and friends. Creating, nourishing, celebrating, exploring. Together.<\/p>\n
