Hop through your Edible Easter Garden with Wonka!

As a child, my fondest memories of Easter are getting my Easter basket.  Like all kids that love candy, I couldn’t wait to find out what kinds of treats the Easter Bunny brought.  My brothers and I would stash away our precious favorites underneath the Easter grass so no one would find them.  Somehow, Dad always found them anyway!

This year, Wonka is working hard to create some all-time favorites for your baskets with their Easter collection hitting the shelves in your area.  With SweeTARTS Candy Carrots, Springy Double Yummy Gummies, Chocolate Waterfall Eggs, and Scrumdiddlyumtious Chocolate Eggs, there’s something for everyone.     For the first time ever, Wonka is offering premium chocolate!  Wonka Exceptionals Chocolate Waterfall Eggs are an incredible combination of swirled milk and white chocolate.  YUM!  For those who like something other than chocolate, the Springy Double Yummy Gummies are delicious AND adorable. Both of my children very bravely gave up candy for Lent, so they haven’t sampled yet!  My favorite are the Scrumdiddlyuptious Chocolate eggs….chocolate, toffee, crispy cookie, and peanuts.   What’s not to love?  In addition, Wonka candies are very affordable, so the Easter Bunny won’t have to take out a second mortgage to stock up!   Hop on over as fast as you can to stock up!  Wonka candy will make every bunny happy this Easter.

Nestle Family Virtual Halloween Party: Easy Costumes

Nestlé Family Halloween PartyOne of the best parts of Halloween is choosing your costume! It is the one opportunity a year where you can live out your wildest dreams.  Through the years, I have been a can-can dancer, Wonder Woman,  a baby and even Strawberry Shortcake.  One year, my Mom was brave enough to make me a witch costume and it was probably my favorite!  Sewing is not exactly one of my strong suits, so when looking for a Halloween costume for my daughters, I generally look for something pre-made or something that requires little to no skill.

When my first daughter was only two years old, I decided to make her a bride costume.  I bought her some white tights, a white long tutu, and a white long sleeved shirt (which I bedazzled the word “bride” on the front in case anyone was confused!).  For her veil, I bought a white scrunchy and stitched a white shear scarf on to the back.  It was a very comfortable and warm costume for my little one, and I think it came out pretty darn good!
