Not only is this French toast recipe super easy with ingredients you already have around the house, you can also make it the night before to maximize coffee and paper time in the morning. There are any number of little variations on baked French toast, but we like this one from AllRecipes.
Earlier this week, we asked for sidewalk chalk drawings inspired by summer. Boston-based Bunchlander Nanda snapped a photos of her preschooler’s depiction Mickey and Minnie and sent it along. Thank you Nanda and talented young daughter! Great work!
Have your kids been scribbling summery fun scenes on the sidewalk? We’d love to see them. Send pictures to meghan@bunchfamily.ca or even upload to our Facebook page or tweet a photo @Bunchfamily on Twitter.
Here at Bunch we can’t think of anything more awesome than combining water balloons and the always awesome sidewalk chalk. And just to sweeten the deal, combining them for some live action Angry Birds. It is, in fact, even better than playing Angry Birds on your phone. Believe us. We gotta credit the brilliant Allison McDonald at No Time For Flashcards, who’s always coming up with creative activities.
You’ll need:
Balloons (preferably in red, yellow and blue)
Water
Permanent marker (to draw your birds faces on the balloons)
Washable sidewalk chalk. Don’t have any sidewalk chalk laying around? It’s actually quite easy to make, and you can get the recipe here.

You may have one of those kids who doesn’t like chocolate, or you may just want to limit the amount of egg and bunny-shaped sugary treats they’re receiving this year. Either way, here are five Easter treats that lack both chocolate and high fructose corn syrup.
1. Egg sidewalk chalk: This treat comes closest to looking like what you might dip into a bowl of coloured water. Best part: A chalk egg lasts way longer than its chocolatey counterpart. Downside: Since we’ve been having such a grey/wet/snowy/crummy April, Sunday’s not looking like an optimal “get out and colour” day. Monday does though!
2. Bunny egg cups: The incredible, edible egg! Like, the real kind. Once you’ve boiled your free-run chicken eggs just enough so that the white is solid and the yolk is toast-dippingly perfect, a sweet little egg cup is the perfect way to serve breakfast on Easter morning. Read more...
2. Just because you’re divorced doesn’t mean you can’t vacation with the whole family (plus the new spouses) anymore. If the split was amicable, why not split one big beach house and do away with the arguing over who gets March Break and who gets July etc. Via Parentcentral.ca
3. Speaking of divorced parents, do Facebook friendships with your kids add a sense of normalcy when you’re not living under the same roof? Via New York Times
4. Police in Ceres, California arrested a mom for “child endangerment” after she encouraged her son to fight another kid. She wanted her boy to “F*ck him up.” Via Jezebel
