Right now, it may not look that way at Walmart or your favorite grocery store, but it’s true. As an alternative to candy, he’s filling the hollow eggs with notes of appreciation, motivation and inspiration and you can do it too.  If you love busting open a fortune cookie, then you know your kids will love hunting for eggs and getting note-after-note of encouragement, fun activities and surprises in the eggs they find.   ## **Here’s a list of suggestions we got from the Big Bunny:**         This coupon is good for a foot rub.         This coupon is good for a back rub.         This note is good for one download on iTunes.         This coupon is good for a book, next time we go shopping.         Your laughter makes us happy.   [Read More](https://blog.housefairy.org/a-sugar-free-easter-egg-hunt) ## [Tolerant Parents = Tolerant Children](https://blog.housefairy.org/tolerant-parents-tolerant-children) Posted by [HouseFairy](https://blog.housefairy.org/author/housefairy) Feb 19, 2018 6:00:00 AM [![](https://blog.housefairy.org/hs-fs/hubfs/DSC02917.jpg?t=1519017860462&width=300&name=DSC02917.jpg) ](https://blog.housefairy.org/tolerant-parents-tolerant-children) [Read More](https://blog.housefairy.org/tolerant-parents-tolerant-children) ## [Holiday Fun Foods](https://blog.housefairy.org/holiday-fun-foods) Posted by [HouseFairy](https://blog.housefairy.org/author/housefairy) Nov 18, 2017 11:59:49 AM [![](https://blog.housefairy.org/hs-fs/hubfs/IMG_3165.jpg?t=1511016509220&width=400&name=IMG_3165.jpg) ](https://blog.housefairy.org/holiday-fun-foods) Holiday food is always fun, unless of course it's your last meal and you're on death row eating it right before Christmas. That can't be fun. Now with that said, to change the subject, what does a log cabin, a snowman, a sleigh, penguins and an igloo have in common? You probably said, "Snow or cold weather."

A stay-at-home mom of three, stepmother of two and grandmother of 12, Pam has enjoyed most of her life surrounded by happy children of all ages.
