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!

I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just o I used to think dairy-free desserts were “just okay.” Like, fine in a pinch… but never something I craved. 👀

But then this little picnic happened—just me, my girl, and a sweet treat we both loved enough to fight over the last bite. 😅

We’ve been trying to be more mindful with food choices lately (especially with summer travel coming up), and I grabbed these So Delicious treats at Kroger kind of on a whim. The new packaging caught my eye, but it was the taste that totally surprised us. Creamy. Indulgent. No weird aftertaste. And no, we’re not fully dairy-free—and we still loved them.

It’s one of those little swaps that doesn’t feel like giving anything up.

And that? That’s a win for both of us. ✨@So_Delicious

🚨 Homeschool decision!! If you have been aroun 🚨 Homeschool decision!!

If you have been around here since Christmas time, then you know we pulled Emma Kate out of her private school after the first semester and put her in a hybrid homeschool for the spring. The main reason being we wanted more absences than the school allowed. 

What is a hybrid? In our case, she went to a school all day 3 days a week, and we taught her at home two days a week. 

It seemed like the best of both worlds, not having absences count since we were also her teachers, being able to stay home some, sleep in, and travel. 

Well, it wasn’t all rainbows and butterflies. For one, the school we sent her to ended up not being what we thought. We were told being absent wouldn’t be a problem, but it became clear very early on her teacher was not a fan and she was not kind or accommodating to Emma Kate. There’s a lot of other reasons we didn’t blown the school I won’t go into. (If you are local and considering hybrid feel free to dm me and I will share my concerns and grievances.)

Teaching your kid is hard. There were lots of tears and frustrations, and she got bored since Bobby and I also work from home/I’m not a stay at hoke mom. We couldn’t just sit with her all day and teach her with our crazy long hours owning two businesses. 

It was tough to keep a schedule and while getting to travel a lot was great, she didn’t thrive on not having a routine and struggled with the randomness of everything.

She is also a very social only child who missed her friends and also wants to play sports for her school.

 In the end while there were a lot of pros to hybrid homeschool, the cons outweighed them for us so we are returning to her old school in the fall. 

Am I glad we did it? Yes! I always would have wondered otherwise and now we know. We will still be pulling her out of school some to travel in the fall, just not as much. 

If you have any questions feel free to drop them in the comments below and I will be happy to answer the best I can! 🩷
