Hump Day Poll: Your Childhood Go To's
Candy Edition! I was thinking about my Mom's 50th birthday party. It was a wonderful memory because I worked really hard on it and planned it for 9 months to make it great for her. Because she didn't have a 25th wedding anniversary, I knew I was going to go all out for her 50th. I had family, friends, people from high school, co-workers (ones I knew she liked! 😁) and I loved seeing her face when she would see people she hadn't seen in a long time. One of the biggest hits that people talked about for years after were the retro candy baskets on every table. I bought ones that I knew were her favorites as well as looking at what were popular at the time. People lost their minds and were squealing like kids when they saw their favorites. I got all of the candy through Candy Favorites website and it's always so fun to look through. I was perusing the site, I was thinking of what stuff I'd want in the baskets on my table for a party like Mom's: Cher...
I am completely fine with dialing it back. I feel like I am overdue for some active rest days. My legs have been sore all week and I just started to feel better in my upper body yesterday and then yesterdays Proper rest is important and I think we could both benefit from that for a bit.
ReplyDeleteYeah me too. Matter of fact, a good stretching session may be on tap today.
DeleteOh my....I'm crying like a baby Anele over that precious puppy! Thank you for finding all these wonderful articles that not only inform us, they inspire us to donate and help - and they entertain us to no end!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
So did I! The Mr came upstairs and caught me ugly crying over it and had to watch it too.
DeleteYou're very welcome! Happy weekend to you as well!
I love the home-made snow globe. I'm going to be saving jars and guess what everyone is getting from the boy this year. That's my kind of craft - glue and glitter. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteI've been sick all week so my work has piled up and the house is a wreck so I'll be spending the weekend trying to get caught up. Hubby and the boy have been sick too, but they're both getting better now so I hope I will be too.
Aren't those cute! So glad you got some ideas from that!
DeleteHope the whole fam feels better soon! Rest up, buttercup!
Enjoy a very fun weekend! I had a meeting this morning, then a TB test for the new job, then picked up my glasses before coming home to some chores. Put the Christmas sheets on the bed so now we have trees and Santa and his sleigh welcoming us into the room. =o) The hubs put up the small three and decorated the bay window in lights galore yesterday while I was on the phone with mom's friend. It felt wonderful to walk into the living room and he had all the other lights off and I just sat on the couch with a peaceful smile on my face just getting lost in those lights. I have plenty of laundry and cleaning to do, but on Saturdays I tend to be pooped from six straight days of being up at 4am, so I'm toast right now. Tomorrow I'll have more oomph to be out and about.
ReplyDeleteAs for Christmas cards, I do send them out every year. I have them here, but haven't finished with them yet. A few of them will go out a little later than usual because I'll be sending something along with them so need to coordinate that. But I have the Rudolph stamps ready to go!! =o)
Christmas sheets, how fun!! Aww, I'm so glad you got to sit and enjoy the Christmas splendor and get a few moments of peace.
DeleteHurray for Christmas cards and Rudolph stamps!
