As the Easter season rolls around, it becomes clear just how spoiled our kids really are. It feels like Christmas is barely behind us before we’re bombarded with the sugary frenzy of Valentine’s Day. If parents genuinely want to show their affection, there’s even a leprechaun leaving little goodies in March. (I guess I’m just not the best parent because every St. Patrick’s Day, my kids head to school with downcast expressions, shoulders slumped, while their peers boast about their treasure-filled baskets. Honestly, with so many holidays, it’s overwhelming!)
Then comes Easter, which somehow manages to be the most challenging of all. Not only do we have to load our energetic children up with even more sugar, but we also have to pretend that a giant bunny has invaded our home to deliver it. Honestly, wouldn’t a giant Easter chicken be more believable? At least chickens lay eggs! (Still just as bizarre, though.)
But we go through the motions anyway. We indulge in extravagant celebrations, from Christmas to Valentine’s Day and even the leprechaun antics if you’re aiming for “Mom of the Year.” We do it not just out of love for our little ones, but also so we can snag the good candy (like those delicious Reese’s eggs) and discreetly toss the less desirable treats (such as blue peeps from Great-Aunt Martha) into the trash after the kids have drifted off to sleep.
Of course, we do all this because we care, but let’s be real—it’s mostly for the candy!

- And then there are the inevitable messes.
- Spoiler alert: It’s probably not chocolate!
- This kid definitely knows how to work the system.
- Is it a crime scene, or did the kids just earn themselves a few cavities? (Honestly, the first option sounds better.)
- “Go find more eggs, sweetheart! Mommy just needs to grab something from the pantry!”
- Savage.

So, here’s to the quirky day of bunny-delivered candy! May your homes be filled with laughter, Starburst jellybeans, and an abundance of chocolate bunnies (and zero Peeps, please). I hope your celebration unfolds just as you’ve envisioned it. My little ones will likely battle for the last egg in the yard and indulge in sweets until they’re sick, just as it should be. And honestly, I wouldn’t change a thing!
