Your guide to a Happy, Healthy Easter !

It’s an early Easter this year! Are you ready?

This pagan celebration has somehow turned into a giant choc-fest! I also think it’s outrageous that hot cross buns appear on Boxing Day. More and more catalogues and shops are suggesting that Easter is another Christmas and we should buy gifts as well as copious amounts of chemical-laden chocolate.

It is easy for kids to get caught up the hype.

Okay, so how do you participate in Easter, enjoy some chocolate and not be a party-pooper? Well, it’s easy. Just go back to basics – home made is best or choose your products wisely. Create family traditions based around making treats together on the Easter weekend. We ask family and friends to not buy chocolate for our kids. We all just get one small portion of chocolate each. That is really enough and we all enjoy it!
