Easter with PBK (Tuesday Talk Link up)

I originally typed up this post on February 9th, but realized it wasn't even Valentine's Day and I am certainly NOT one to typically think about/shop for/or decorate for an upcoming holiday until we have fully celebrated the current one.  However, PBK loves to jump the gun on these things and send emails out early about their products. And I am a sucker for all things holidays when it involves my kids. The Easter line is just darling!! And I want it all! (Not to mention, we are currently snowed in and I have spent way to long browsing my favorite online stores!)

And speaking of snow, here's a sneak peek of what we've been up to! The below collage displays before, during, and after (enjoying hot chocolate). I think it's safe to say they were happiest after they came back inside. It was bitter cold out and pouring the snow!! Maybe tomorrow will be more enjoyable!

And I'm not a fan of the snow AT ALL but at least I get to wear my pink boots! :)

Now back to Easter at PBK! :)

Peter Rabbit plates

Peter Rabbit utensils

Peter Rabbit tumblers

I absolutely LOVE this egg garland!

Oh, and these plush bunnies!! (Also available in Pink or Gray).

Last, but not least, the Easter baskets/personalized liners.

 I will say, in my opinion, I prefer the smaller size. When I bought my daughter's (7 years ago), I wasn't sure which size and figured the bigger the better. But it arrived, it was seriously HUGE! So i shipped it back for the smaller one. That's not to say you wouldn't prefer the bigger one, it just depends on how you intend to fill it for your child as they grow.

My kids love them and love having their names on them! (Pic below from the annual egg hunt that we host.)

 As I was looking back at past pics and the size of the baskets, it probably is better to have bigger ones when they young b/c the items they get might be bigger (books, shoes, etc, since candy isn't usually part of it). But I wanted to buy a basket they will have until their grown and in college, and knew it would just be candy/smaller items at that point. (And yes, I said college. My mom filled/hid our Easter baskets until I was married. And I think she even filled one of my hubs and I both the first year we were married.)

Happy Shopping!!

Don't forget the link up with Sweet Little Ones!

 

It's Friday, Y'all!

Happy Friday!! Today's post is a very random brain dump!

~ONE~

I'm not a huge fan of January, so I usually immediately start thinking about Valentine's Day (and my son's birthday which is the day after Vday). And I love making all of the holidays special for the kids. These plates are just adorable! PBK never disappoints!

~TWO~

My Christmas wishes came true and I received these coasters and immediately LOVED them even more in person!

Along with the coasters, I received the Kate Spade Gold Dot Tumblers. I sure do love these too! I've been using the tumbler and coaster on a daily basis. Love!

~THREE~

My sweet baby boy has been very clingy lately. He constantly says he wants to sit on my lap and I have been enjoying every second of it. At times, I do hesitate b/c it's hard for me to sit with my forever long "to-do" list in my mind, but then I realize it won't be long before he will NEVER want to sit on my lap. He's always been my cuddler and I do hope he stays that way!

~FOUR~

I'm not a huge ice cream person, but over the weekend I was shopping (with my daughter) for ingredients to make ice cream sundaes. B/c I knew I wouldn't be eating any of them, I decided to indulge in my own kind. Oh my word, y'all, it was sooo good. And after putting the pic on instagram, I was told to try the Salted Caramel flavor too! I'm not a huge caramel person but just from so many recommendations, I may have to give it a try! Have you tried this brand before? It was my first time and it did NOT disappoint!

~FIVE~

It's no secret, I'm a huge Bachelor/Bachelorette fan. And I have to admit, I was pretty shocked to learn of the break up between Andi and Josh. I know that most couples don't end up making it, but I just thought they really clicked. 

So there ya have it, my random Friday brain dump! Hope you have a great weekend! It'll be a 3 day weekend for my entire family - hubs is off and Cate has Monday off from school. Wahoo!

And don't forget to check out the awesome hostesses of the link up; Darci, Liz, Natasha, and Christina.
