    Week in Review – A Belated Easter, Surfing Moms, a Podcast, a Baby Shower and an Early Christmas

    This week we dyed Easter eggs (a little late), I took a surfing lesson, threw a baby shower, did a podcast with Tandem Media and got a pretty personalized ornament from Ornaments with Love.

It was a special “Neon Molten Magic” kit that was supposed to make cool swirly eggs. They give you three color tablets (yellow, pink and blue) and then several wax crayon squares to melt on top. So,…
