I have two candies I cannot live without during the Easter season. The first just makes me pucker thinking about it. It’s Willy Wonka’s SweeTarts: Chicks, Ducks & Bunnies.

Now I know Nestle’ makes these and I can’t believe Mr. Wonka and his Oompa Loompa’s sold out to them. I mean here’s what they used to have in the bag.

Lovely Green, Pink, Yellow and Purple Chicks, Ducks and Bunnies!
But NOW! Well let’s just say Green and Yellow aren’t in Nestle’s vocabulary. They tossed them aside for Blue in a Tropical Punch flavor. 
I hate tropical punch. I drank Hawaiian Punch as a kid all the time and now it makes me sick. AND The Boy has taken a liking to this particular flavor of HP so it’s in my house.
So what do I do? I eat all the purple and pink Chicks, Ducks and Bunnies and hand the yucky blue ones to The Boy. If I’m patient I’ll take them out of the bag first. I don’t want those blue ones touching my pink and purples. 
My all time favorite candy at Easter is Russell Stovers Marshmallow Eggs. 
I love those and must have them in multiples. Don’t try and fool me with some random generic kind. I can tell. Yummy!
One of the many traditions I love that we do at Easter is Cascarones or confetti eggs. 
They are normally filled with paper confetti. You can fill them with bird seed too but prepare to make people mad if you add glitter or flour. That stays in for a while. I have 13 dozen so far but that’s really not enough for us. We usually go through 20+ dozen eggs for 15-20 of us. The little kids enjoy it a lot and since they can’t reach our heads we have to bend down for them. Although they do like it when someone is tackled and held on the ground (Yes we do that!).
Do you enjoy a “must have” Easter candy? Do you partake in Cascarones or some other tradition?

Sorry I haven’t been posting. My week got a little better, then it got worse. My poor sweet little Bella is having back surgery today. She has a ruptured disc and has been in so much pain. She stayed at the vet hospital last night and will be there over the weekend. She looked so sad when we left her yesterday. But when she comes home she’ll get lots of “mommy-loving” while she recuperates. I may even let Husband make bacon as a treat for her.

Here she is with her “brother” Gus.

The sun is coming out today so here’s an OOTD using my Watercolor Potpourri mini from J Crew.

An option with wedges…
Here’s what I wore for St. Patrick’s Day. Husband and The Boy both wore green on their boxers, not realizing it until later and after they got pinched. I told them if you couldn’t see it that it didn’t count.
I think most people who purchased this top from the Liberty of London for Target wore it on Wednesday.
I didn’t put this back on but this is the top part of what I wore to the office on Tuesday. I love the Burnished Olive Jackie with the Rose Vines Shirt. I think it looks great together.
Have a great weekend. Husband says he’s taking me shopping today. I haven’t been to J Crew to see the New Arrivals so he’s in for a treat/surprise/shock to see me in action.

So I jumped on the bloggy band-wagon and checked out the new Liberty of London collection at Target. First, there are still a lot of items available at my area Targets. I guess Texas/South Texas doesn’t get the whole preppy print vibe.

It was a lot of fun going around the store finding the LoL items. Once I realized a butterfly was hanging over the collection around the store I would head straight there. Ooooh, butterfly…ooooh, butterfly – I did this in the two stores I went to.

Originally, I had purchased the The Tunic Swim Cover-up in Multi-color Royal but I returned it along with the Silk Tie in Cars Cream. I bought that for The Boy but he didn’t like it.

I wasn’t sure about the Ruffle Neck Top in Turquoise Isis so I passed in the first store but bought it in the second store yesterday.

I also purchased the Double-Strap Dress in Mauverina. I tried on the 4, which fit like a glove, and the 8, which was a looser fit but good. I really need the 6 in this dress so I’ll keep it and keep looking.

I bought the tie in Glen Jade Navy for The Boy. Hope he likes it better than the cars.
I bought the Men’s Floral Shirt in Navy in a Small for me. I really liked the print of it. 
I found this cute little bag in the Children’s section.

I also bought one of each of the Set of 3 Mini-Journals.
And I also purchased two candles, after having broke one of them in the store…in front of a sales associate. I was mortified. The candle just slipped right out of the top sleeve and out of my hands.

There were still lots of bowls, teapots, piggy banks, plates, cups, trays, linens (I loved the linens!), clothing, accessories in the two stores I went to. I’m sure that is the same for all of them here in my area. I am pretty happy with my purchases and know I’ll get a lot of use out of the mini-journals. I’m going to wear the Ruffle Neck Shirt today, since it is green and will be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. If I have the time I’ll take an IRL.
Enjoy your LoL goodies!!!
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
