I know that my little ones loved starting the day with an Easter egg hunt and gorging themselves on candy. I spent most of the day feeling guilty for letting my kids consume so much candy but hey—Easter only happens once a year! The challenge is staying away from all the left-over candy!!! Fri, 13 Apr 2012 09:41:59 -0400 http://www.capecodkidz.com/index.php?name=News&file=article&sid=740 I love spring—it’s just such a hopeful time of the year here in New England. The temperature has been a bit of a mixed bag, but today, it was just gorgeous—water gleaming on the canal as I crossed the Sagamore Bridge. Just gorgeous. It makes me feel so grateful to have lived with Cape Cod a real, integral part of their early years. We are lucky to live in such a beautiful place.
