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...
It is nice having the tree up even if later than normal for us. It has already done wonders for my mood honestly. I am so glad we got the chance to walk under the moonlight yesterday. That was perfect!
ReplyDeleteThe trees look gorgeous! So glad you got those up and were able to enjoy the lights with some cocoa and Chateau. Sorry about your chandelier though...grrrr....
ReplyDeleteWeekend was good. I had a super productive day yesterday in the kitchen and got a lot of things done so I felt good about that. Errands today and my annual eye exam smack dab in the middle of the day, so we'll see what I accomplish after that.
