The Art of Easter Egg-ing

March 9, 2015 by Shari

While living in Chicago our family was going through some tough times as my 4 year old was struggling with asthma.  We’d made late-night runs to the emergency room, given her nebulizer treatments and multiple medications, slept little, and worried a lot.
