The Savvy Guide to Easter
Hippity hop hop here we go — it’s Easter time again. It’s hard not to think of sunshine and bonnets and chocolate eggs (except when it’s a freezing and dark early Easter, yuck!) but sometimes this holiday weekend sneaks up on us. Which is why we put together this guide to Easter.
Our Savvy Guide to Easter is full of ideas for celebrating Easter — whether you’re hosting a family gathering or having a small egg hunt at home. Plus, we have lists of events and activities for Easter in Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and Vancouver.

Ideas for Non-Traditional Easter Meals
We’re so excited to finally be celebrating Easter with family, extended family, and friends (we hope – fingers crossed). But we have to admit to being a bit out of practice with hosting large get-togethers and all the prep work involved. This year, more than anything, we want to make sure we have time to visit with everyone and truly be present, not stuck in the kitchen for hours on end. With that in mind, our goal is to take the toil out of holiday meals – here are a few ways how.

Awesome Easter Basket Goodies That Aren’t Chocolate
Easter is right around the corner, and that means a whole lot of fun for the little ones (and parents, too). We adore hiding chocolate eggs for the hunt, but we relish our own search for some Easter basket goodies that aren’t chocolate (in all the sweet pastels and vibrant hues of spring) to top things up. Bonus – these toys, supplies, and collectibles can lead to hours of fun long after the last chocolate bunny has been devoured.
