   Help! What are some good places to hide Easter Eggs?
   
   What if your kids already know the best spots?  Or there aren't a lot of bushes or trees?  Any ideas on how to create a fun Easter Egg Hunt for the little ones?

   I used to hide the eggs outside when my son was little. I'd put them on the buttons of pillows in my bistro chairs, in flower pots, by the pillars at my front entryway, in garden beds, on either side of the front door stoop, and in front of bushes, etc. The key is to have them in low spots that little ones can see and get to without too much trouble. Usually, they're so busy thinking of true "hiding" spots that they don't see what's right in front of their faces.
   
   We do have a lot of foliage here, but I'd try to put the eggs where my son could see them, especially when he was a toddler. He'd get so excited with each find! Funny thing is, he never did eat them and still doesn't eat eggs to this day. He says he's allergic to them. I have no idea where that came from! :-)
   
   Happy Easter, Marcy!

   I was just thinking maybe there could be a sort of treasure hunt. Get some plastic eggs and put little maps or directions to where the kids could find treats. And then hide those eggs. They open an egg and there is a note that says - look under a couch pillow inside the house (or somewhere unusual) . And there you could put a gift, like a DVD movie, a some packs of gums, etc or something.

   In the ferns at the front door where the kids can reach them. I have a whole bed of them!
