kool-eggs 2014

It's that time of year again! We dyed our Kool-Eggs yesterday and had some serious fun. Lo experimented more this year with making some lighter pastels; a quick dip in Berry Blue and then Lemon Lime made an awesome mint green. Mixing Strawberry with a little Orange ended up with a lovely shade of coral. And Strawberry Limeade makes a sweet pink. So much fun. If you haven't checked out my original Kool-Eggs post, look here and see how fun and easy it is to dye your Easter eggs with Kool-Aid. (No vinegar necessary - the citric acid does the trick!)

Happy weekend to you and your family.

Sometimes, even on the busiest of days, you need to take a second and make everyone sit down on the couch. Set the timer on the camera. And take a picture of everyone in your little family, yourself included.

Even if it turns out blurry. Or no one is looking at the camera. Whether you're all dressed up or just lounging around your pajamas, it doesn't matter. These precious days go by so incredibly fast – they really really do. So take a minute or two and preserve this moment, with everyone in the picture. Someday you'll be so glad you did.

** I have been more inspired to do this ever since taking part in the Dos Family Picture Tour a few years back. See the photo we submitted way back in 2009 here. (Scroll down until you see us with a tiny Lo peeking out of the Vespa sidecar.) And see even more ridiculously cool photos from last year's tour here. **

Remember these? It's that time of year again, and if you're dyeing Easter eggs this week, you may want to give Kool-eggs a try.

Check out my how-to from last year right here. Have fun and happy Easter to you!
