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!

QOTD: What is your favorite holiday candy and why? Favorite Easter candy?

    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’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

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
