I would like to lose maybe three or four more pounds, five pounds at the most. I don’t need diet pills to lose a few pounds because just eating healthy, cutting out junk foods, and going for walks is usually what I do to lose a few pounds. Some people may want to lose more, and if they choose to use diet pills then they should consult their doctor.

Happy Easter!
Easter is a joyful time of year, when many people remember how Jesus, God’s only son, died on the cross for our sins, was resurrected from the dead and came back to life on the third day. It is a happy time for Christians on Easter and every day because of the relationship they have with Jesus.
Easter eggs have symbolized new life for hundreds of years. They make me think of how we have new life when we become a Christian. This is something I think about often and not just at Easter.
Easter is a time when a lot of families get together for Easter dinner, to hunt Easter eggs, and to enjoy being together. In case you need to refer to any of these Easter posts, here they are for easy access:

Computers, Video cards, Etc.
When my husband, son, and s-i-l get to talking about computers and all the accessories that go with them, my daughter and I would rather talk about something else like babies, recipes, or shopping. I have heard the guys talk about video cards, and I know those are important to a computer. I just trust them to take care of the computers and make sure they have everything on them that is needed.
Dream Home
Do you have your idea of a dream house? I guess mine would be to have a large dining area with an extra-long dining table so we could have lots of people sitting at the same table for dinner, a larger kitchen, and a separate office area. This is just thinking off the top of my head. I’m sure there is more I could think of.
Now where would be a good place to live? Would you be interested in Wilmington NC real estate? That would be coastal property. Or would you be interested in living in the mountains? Wherever one’s house is located, though, it’s family that makes a house a home. That’s a true dream home!
Hobbies
A lot of people have hobbies of various sorts. For some, it might be cooking or baking, sewing or crafting, gardening, a sport such as tennis or jogging, reading, and the list can go on and on. Some might even like to put together Carrera slot cars from a kit. There are all kinds of hobby materials available from hobby shops. Whatever the hobby, it is a good way to relax from the tensions of the day, to reduce stress, and maybe even make other people happy.
Easter Books & Activities for Children
If you’re looking for some children’s books about Easter or a children’s Easter DVD, then you might want to check out How to Teach Kids for a few ideas. Some interesting facts about the origin of Easter are given as well, such as how did the Easter bunny and Easter eggs originate. I thought I knew about the eggs, but what I thought wasn’t accurate.
Computer Jargon
From time to time, I will hear my husband, son, or son-in-law talk about memory upgrades. My daughter and I just look at each other when they start talking in computer jargon about all the technical stuff, RAM, etc. We just want the computers to work. I must admit, though, that she knows a lot about computers since she works with them every day at work. I still have a lot to learn!
Blogging
I have been blogging for one year and nine months now and have really enjoyed it. Some bloggers are up on everything such as conversion rate optimization and other things. I basically just check my stats and what posts are read the most. My goal is to write what will benefit readers and help them in some small way. I have lots of room for improvement, so if you think of something you would like to see on my blog then just let me know.
Note of Explanation
Sometimes ads will appear on my site that I would not choose to have here. When that occurs, I will have those taken off as soon as I can. So if you ever see any ads that seem distasteful in any way, please let me know either through email or comment. It may take several hours before they’re taken off.
Save Your Kid’s Dyed Easter Eggs – Enjoy Their Eggs Year After Year
How do you like the dyed Easter eggs in the picture? My kids decorated those! Our daughter, s-i-l, and son had so much fun coloring these eggs several years ago. But… I didn’t boil the eggs and instead blew out the insides so we could save their eggs. I’m SO glad I did that! I just wish I had put their initials on the eggs so I would know who decorated each egg.
I store the eggs in an egg carton during the year, and then we enjoy them every Easter. They make a pretty centerpiece!
Here’s how to blow the insides out of an egg:
- Let the eggs sit out for half an hour or so. Make sure they don’t have any cracks, etc.
- Hold the egg over a clean bowl and gently poke the smaller end of the egg with a straight pin and then made the hole a little larger with a sharp knife until the hole is about 1/16 of an inch in diameter. Make sure to puncture the membrane inside the egg.
- Then gently poke the larger end of the egg with a sharp knife until the hole is about 1/4 inch in diameter but no larger. Again, make sure to puncture the membrane inside the egg. Insert a toothpick into the hole and gently stir to loosen the inside of the egg.
- Hold the egg over the bowl with the smaller end on top. Gently wipe the outside of the egg to clean it, and then blow into the smaller hole. The inside of the egg should drip out of the larger hole into the bowl.
- After the eggs are completely emptied, add a drop of dishwashing detergent and water inside each egg. Cover the ends and gently shake the egg. Then rinse out the egg with water.
- Let eggs dry and then decorate as usual. (We used an Easter egg kit.)
