The Easter Bunny Mommy

This is my last blog before a week of well-deserved Easter break. I haven't been on a trip without having to work (taking advantage of full time childcare by grandparents and my husband) since, well, since I started working again after my short maternity break. I've been a project break for a month now, but running the routines at home, and taking care of everything that doesnt fit into a working mom's schedule (dentists visits etc) doesnt quite feel like vacation, as any mother knows. My kids still believe in Easter bunny, which is sweet, but also means that the Easter bunny mommy is needed. I havent done anything close to as beautiful, delicious or creative as my own mother would do, but thankfully, I appreciate her skills, but am fully aware they need not be mine. Instead, after some egg hunt, easter fires (a tradition in Germany that is similiar to mid summer festivities up North), and a little glass of bubbly to celebrate the end of our 40-day fast (without alcohol), we are headed to Paris. Cant wait! Happy Easter!
