If you are planning an Easter hunt, here are some clues for hiding spots you can use to make it a fun treasure hunt style game for the kids!

1. When you sit against it, its comfy but with an egg behind it, its bumpy! (Cushions on sofa)
2. We close them to keep out the light….but today behind them is an egg in sight ( behind curtains)
3. Behind the seat….is a chocolatey treat (behind the chair in living room)
4. Look behind the books….in the crannies and nooks (in a bookshelf)
5. We use them to dry the plates…today the treats inside are great (hidden in the tea-towel drawer)
6. It’s what we use for stew.…but today, it’s for chocolate too (the big stew pot)
7. This box is full of fun….but today inside are things yum (inside their toy box)
8. When the sun is in the sky, we use these to shield our eyes…..but today there’s some eggs inside (the drawer where we keep sunglasses)
9. Flowers are pretty and sweet – look in the vase for something to eat (in our dry flower arrangement)

If you’ve got teens and want to treat them to something other than chocolate this Easter, the new make-up collection from Sabrina Carpenter, ‘Sweet Tooth’ has beauty products shaped like chocolate bars. Fab treat for teens along with some yummy Easter eggs.

For Mammies, Irish brand Mervue Organic has a beautiful range of skincare including body oils, serums, as well as soy candles and diffusers which all smell amazing!

If you are planning a family break this Easter, Bracken Court Hotel Balbriggan is an ideal spot. Close to buses and trains for easy access to Dublin, right beside the beach and just up the road from Flynn Park which is now open for 2025. Flynn Park is a wonderful spot for families with loads of activities both on and off the water, including paintball and the Aqua Lough!

Another fab spot for a family break is Silken Thomas in Kildare town. We’re heading down over Easter with our kids. It’s close to Irish National Stud and near Kildare Village, so all our kids will be happy! The food, music and atmosphere in Silken Thomas is fantastic – if you haven’t been, we highlight recommend!
