SPOILERS! Moviegoers who were able to puzzle out the storyline of Batman v Superman may have also been aware of the parallel but perhaps just as important plot thread: the establishment of a cohesive DCU movie universe that ties in various characters and plot lines for future movies. Perhaps the most debated scene is […]

This year Grandma Chocalicious has made a pyramid of Easter eggs for her party on Easter Sunday. Billy and Monster want one of the Easter eggs but Grandma says they have to wait till Easter Sunday.

It's rare that an author and illustrator get to work closely together while creating a picture book—this makes it very fun to get a peek into a conversation between a picture book duo that have been paired together by an editor and live in two different countries. In the case of the adorable Here Comes the Easter Cat, bestselling author Deborah Underwood wanted to know how award-winning illustrator Claudia Rueda managed to capture both Cat's crankiness and his sweetness.

Hello There:
Today is the beginning of a new week and the end of the Easter week. A perfect time to share a few photos of my family's Easter eggs. Each year, we like to try a new application for decorating eggs. This year we came up with the clever idea to use bubble wrap as part of our decorating process. The results were fabulous.....
Throughout the years, we have learned to use rubberbands, painters tape, scotch tape, paper towels and lots of other household items. This mosaic egg was created by cutting lots of triangular shapes from blue painter's tape and applying them to the egg before dying....
This "mummy" egg was created by weaving tape over and under itself....
There hasn't been a single year since my first son was born that we haven't decorated eggs. As a child, my mom and I would decorate eggs using the pre-packaged egg decorating kits, but Gary and I found that we had better results mixing our own colors using food dye.
The kids are all too old for hiding and finding the eggs, but we still have fun decorating. I suppose that when my husband and I become "empty nesters" we'll still take a couple of hours on the Saturday night before Easter to decorate eggs, just the two of us.
Until Next Time:

Sounds like DC’s try-hard was turned up to 11 and they managed to do enough. This “strength” might include a fair bit of smoke and mirrors, which is even worse than failure as many might pin their fortunes to something that has the veneer of success but isn’t actually comprised of it.
What my man, Tim, is trying to say is that It sucked but it sure did look pretty doing it. While I respect Ben for his efforts, he just wasn’t the Bat. The story line, if you can call it that, was scattered and painfully redundant. We all know by now what planet Superman is from and how Batman’s mommy and daddy got shot in that bum-ass alley cause they don’t know what a Daimler limousine is, I guess. We don’t need to waste the first 3o minutes of every DC movie retelling the same origin crap over and over except this time daddy has a mustache. If people don’t know by now why waste the time and money. They’re probably not the ones that are going to see the film anyway. DC just has to except the fact that Marvel is the franchise authority. They literally have it all. Especially the writing. Jesus H, the script had to have been downright awful Oh, and Lex Luthor was shite. The casting director should be shot in that same alley along with Batmom and Batdad and the bloody script.
