EASTER EGG HUNT HACK

Easter egg hunts are always so much fun for the little ones (and us parents who get to watch) but often it can lead to the dreaded "SHE GOT MORE EGGS THAN ME" tantrum.

Here's an easy way to prevent this - purchase some plastic-coloured eggs and give each child a "colour" to find. Fill the eggs with chocolate eggs or little treats. That way, everyone gets the same number of eggs to find and you can reuse the plastic eggs year after year.
In need of the freshest seafood in town?? Preston Fresh Seafood Cairns is open every day during the long weekend except Monday. Yum! 🍤
GOOD FRIDAY

Taking time today to reflect, remember, and be grateful. Wishing everyone a peaceful Good Friday
Happy Easter!
