Come one, come all – because the Eggscellent Social Media Scavenger Hunt is about to begin!
With Easter around the corner, I created a scavenger hunt and I hope many of you will participate and join in the fun! The adventure begins on Monday, April 1, 2019 and ends on Monday, April 15th. You’ll have two weeks to try and answer as many of the questions listed below correctly.
If you start and stick it through, by the end of the hunt – even if you don’t win a prize – you will have gotten to know me, my blog, and my family a little better. You might even learn some things along the way or find some new book recommendations, which is always a plus!
Does that sound okay?
Good, let’s get going!
