EASTER EGG HUNT HACK 🐰 A few years ago, we learned

EASTER EGG HUNT HACK 🐰 A few years ago, we learned the hard way that a free-for-all egg hunt with a wide age range is basically just a contact sport. The older ones don't stand a chance — the little kids are faster, more strategic, and apparently have no mercy when there are candy-filled eggs on the line. And yes... I said the little kids. They are savages.
.
The solution? Color-coded eggs.
.
Each child gets assigned their own egg color before the hunt starts, and they can only collect their color. No exceptions. It sounds simple, but honestly it was revolutionary. The younger grandkids actually get to find eggs now instead of just watching their older cousins sprint past them. The wrestling matches have been dramatically reduced. The parents are much calmer. We're all happier.

If you have a big family gathering with a wide range of ages, I cannot recommend this enough. It is an absolute game changer. #eastertraditions #easteregghunt #easterhack

Brunch at Le Café Louis Vuitton in NYC with my fav

Brunch at Le Café Louis Vuitton in NYC with my favorite Moms/girls. This was one of the best parts of our trip to New York City to celebrate one of the littles' 10th birthdays because none of the girls knew where we were going in our fur coats and fabulous outfits.... their squeals of delight when we pulled up in front of the iconic store is a sound I'll never forget!
.
I would 100% return to Le Café LV ✨ Incredibly delicious everything, the most outstanding service, insanely sophisticated decor and the cutest little LV chocolates I've ever seen 💝 I cannot thank @maxnpiper enough for the most luxuriously wonderful experience.
