Tip of The Day |
Put a permanent marker in your Easter basket prep bin. When you’re filling eggs, baskets, treat bags, or party items, having a marker nearby makes it easy to label names, age groups, allergy-safe treats, or “do not open until Sunday” reminders. It’s a tiny thing but it saves a lot of last-minute confusion. |
