Friday Favorites: Cadbury eggs

April 1, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Ah, Easter. Easter happens to be my favorite candy season. What do I mean? Well, most seasons have candy. You have Halloween candy, which is pretty good. Valentine’s day candy which I could care less about, Christmas candy which can be yummy, and then you have Easter. I don’t know what it is, but something about it makes me lose all self control!

Since I was a little girl, the big Cadbury eggs have been my favorite treat. At age 6 I even lost a tooth biting into one. yeah, we go way back. When I got older I discovered how much I love the mini eggs. not the small version of the big ones, I am talking about the ones that come in the purple bag. You know what I am talking about!

Ah, chocolate bliss.

I started tweeting about my love for these creamy chocolate drops of heaven last night, and got a HUGE response from people saying how much they love them! Looks like I am not alone! These candies definitely deserve a spot in my Friday favorites, especially since they won’t be around much longer! Don’t worry, I will stock up considerably before the season is over.

Daddy, can I PLEASE have a Cadbury egg?

Last night Bobby and I did a sprint workout of almost 3 miles, and it felt so good to stretch out, but my knee is a little sore today. Drat! Looks like I need to get back to stretching and strengthening.

Oh, exciting news. Our neighborhood is hosting a triathlon tomorrow! We are going to go watch, I am so stoked to spectate at my first triathlon. I will be sure to take pictures! So be sure to come back this weekend and see!

Also I took some more house pictures of areas that are actually finished and those will be up soon as well. Lots of exciting stuff! Thanks for the feedback on what you would like to see on the blog. E mail me if you have any input, I want to write about what YOU want to read about!

**Disney just came out with a new summer deal this morning for DELUXE resorts and DELUXE VILLAS. Contact me for a quote if you are looking to go to Disney from sometime in April till mid August! Remember my services are free!

    I have two friends with serious mini-Cadbury Egg issues. I prefer my chocolate straight-up! That said, my favorite holiday candy is peppermint bark.

    As soon as I see Cadbury mini eggs on the shelves, I must have them! I keep a bag on hand all season. They are my absolute favorite.

    Have fun at the tri! I really want to do one this year, but I’m terrified.

  12. Kayla says

    April 2, 2011 at 2:04 pm

    I am thinking about doing a mini tri next year…maybe! I am trying to find something close to here so that I can try it out. We will see though! Have fun at it. I wouldn’t mind seeing those pictures either.

    Reese’s eggs are my favorite!! More peanut butter than regular Reese’s makes them so much better!

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica

🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on tr 🏖️ I’m so thankful my parents took us on trips growing up. When I was young, we didn’t have a lot of money, but they made every weekend getaway or camping trip special, and I have so many great memories. 

We may not have gotten to travel often until I was a teenager, but we still had a blast, and they even took us to a @spectrumresorts  property! (Ad)

As an adult, I am so grateful to be able to return the favor. To see them laugh and play with my daughter like they did with me. It’s one of those special full circle moments, those core memories that will stay with me forever. 🥹

Staying at @turquoiseplaceofficial makes things so easy, too. The condos are huge and we easily all fit without being on top of each other. There’s plenty to do with pools, a waterslide, lazy river, the beach, movie nights, kids activities, food, and more. ✨

It truly is the perfect place for a multigenerational vacation. So if you are looking for a great place to go with your parents, grandkids, aunts, uncles, or cousins, this is it. 💖

And, you can save 10% on your stay by using my code LOOKGLASS in the promo box when you are booking, here or at @thebeachclubresortandspa! 🏖️ 

Have you taken a multigenerational vacation? Where did you go?

We take her on these trips and cruises hoping she’ll soak in the adventure, the beauty, and maybe even the food from places different from where we live… but to her, nothing beats a corn dog and mac & cheese. 🧀 

And honestly, that’s the best reminder for us, that joy doesn’t have to be fancy, it just has to be yours. 🛳✨

YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the YES I was dancing, eating mac and cheese from the kids menu, and singing “Let it Go” with a butter knife while wearing Mickey ears on our Disney cruise. 🚢 

When I was 12, I was worried a lot… worried about failing, scared of what people would think of me, and of not fitting in or being “cool”. 
I turned 40 this year and have been spending time trying to figure out exactly who I really am with all expectations stripped away. I don’t love the term “finding yourself”, but here I feel like it fits. ✨

Maybe finding yourself means going back to being 12.… and being myself without being scared. Heather at 12 would never believe this version of me… but I think she’d be proud. 💛✨

Emma Kate turned 11 last month during our sailing and we did so many birthday things! She got a ton of “happy birthday’s” from crew and guests to make it extra special. ✨
