While the great egg price hike of 2025 might not garner the same number of headlines as the great toilet paper shortage of 2020, it has nonetheless been a topic of conversation and cause for consternation across the country.

It feels like holidays show up earlier and move faster than ever. This year, I’m learning to slow down, hold space for Lent and Easter, and maybe even say no to a few early egg hunts along the way.

Murrieta: Children under age 12 can grab their Easter basket and join an egg hunt at 9 a.m. April 19 at Rancho Bella Vista Park, 31757 Browning St., French Valley. The event will feature games and visits with the Easter Bunny. Information: gorecreation.org or 951-654-1505
