April is truly the beginning of spring! Most years, Easter occurs during the month of April, but sometimes it’s scheduled for the last weekend of March.
There are also plenty of significant events just around the corner for many people: graduation, prom, Mother’s Day, weddings, and pregnancy announcements. Wedding and pregnancy announcements occur all year round but I do think there are plenty of people out there that like to surprise their parents with exciting news on Mother’s and Father’s Day.

Food & Drink
If you celebrate the holiday, consider creating recipes that would be perfect for Easter. Or you can focus on sharing “spring recipes” with fruits and vegetables that are in season right now.
Easter-themed desserts include cakes, cookies, and brownies that resemble Easter baskets. Look at how cute these cookie cups are! Carrot cake, strawberry rhubarb pie, lemon tarts, strawberry shortcake, and pound cake are especially enjoyable in the spring.
And for Easter dinner, everyone has their own traditions. The main entree is typically ham or a pork roast. Side dishes could be honey glazed carrots, roasted brussels sprouts, broccoli salad, green beans, mashed potatoes, and spring salads.
