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...

What I'm Reading This Week #6

Happy Friday everyone!  I hope you had a great week and are ready to boogie down this weekend.  Thankfully, my hamster wheel came in handy around 4am yesterday when I remembered I had my coworker lunch Monday when we scheduled to sign the contract on the other side of town.  I sent the woman an email and we'll sign the contract Tuesday.  Whew!!  I can imagine myself in a cold sweat when I remembered on the day.  (Probably when I got a call from them when they got home.  I so rarely have stuff to plan around!)

But enough of my scatterbrain, let's get to...

  2. Great articles! I work today and have a hair appt tomorrow. We think the hubs is off of work, so that would be great. We're going to a different grocery store that is insanely busy but they have anything and everything and are so much cheaper than the other stores in town. So it'll be good to stock up on some essentials. I'll get the final tax stuff together and will have some play time with the pups.
    Have a super weekend!
