Happy Friday everyone! I hope you have a lovely weekend ahead -- if you observe Easter and/or Passover, I hope your reflections and celebrations are wonderful. I am off with Laurel today and she loves all things holiday projects so we have a fun lineup of activities (she's actually prepping the paper for #4 right now). Meanwhile, here is a roundup of 15 weekend picks and projects to consider. Enjoy!
Today's Dear Boston Mamas question comes from @papaproducts via Twitter:
Hey @bostonmamas do you have ideas for places to go out to Easter brunch/dinner with little kids? Have you seen a roundup of spots anywhere? Thanks!

Here's a roundup of inspiration as you plan for Easter and Passover. At Make & Takes, I love the tips for growing wheatgrass and adorable Easter coloring pages. I'm not a ham person, but if you are, A Southern Fairytale can hook you up with some mouth watering ham recipes. How cute is this DIY bird's nest from Alpha Mom, or the Easter clothing picks from Design Mom? And for your Easter baskets: $15 or less ideas from Cool Mom Picks, basket picks for grownups from Mighty Goods, and gorgeous bunny and egg gift picks from Lil Sugar.
If your kids are eager to get the Easter party started early, there are plenty of eggs to be hunted for this weekend in Massachusetts. Consider the Capen Hill Great Egg Hunt in Charlton, the LEGGacy Place Easter Hunt in Dedham, the Choate Park Easter Egg Hunt in Medway, the Winslow Farm Easter Egg Hunt in Norton, and the Westborough Easter Egg Hunt and Family Fun Day.
Do you know of other local Easter egg hunts on tap for this weekend? Feel free to share in the comments below.
Today, April shares an easy last minute Easter egg dye how-to:
For a crafty person, I have a desire to do general crafts, but I rarely do any planning ahead to prepare for them. I always worry that if I plan to do something date-related, we'll have a rough week (e.g., meltdowns, colds, etc.) and I'll feel a sort of crafty failure and sadness for my girl as I stuff the unused box of Paas into the back of the closet on Easter Monday...only to not be able to find it again next year when it turns out we do have time and inclination to color eggs. So, yes, I suffer from avoidance of craft disappointment.
I have this thing about cake, and if you're interested in creating a showstopper for Easter, try this bunny cake (also fabulous for a baby shower or birthday party). The construction actually is very straightforward (plus, think about all the sculpting experience you have via Play-doh).
