I too remember getting a new Easter outfit and loved hunting for my Easter basket filled with treats. I still give them to my kids and hubby. There is something about keeping fun traditions like that alive. I love PEEPS, from the bunnies to the little chicks. I can only eat a few but they bring back a great time from my childhood. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6934122631054104275.post-15099489137544397292015-03-25T14:06:55.793-04:002015-03-25T14:06:55.793-04:00I guess we little girls got excited about Easter d...I guess we little girls got excited about Easter dresses because that was one of the few time during the year we actually got new ones.

I did the pinterest peeps cute centerpiece one year. It was darling. And then the ants found it. Yeah, not good. Even though I'm sooo glad all that snow is over there and not here... it does make things prettier, doesn't it? I suppose until it gets to be dirty snow but still. My plan is to clean the pantry today (maybe) then off to the container store go I!

I missed the Peeps, I do like them but I don't buy any candy anymore for Easter. That doesn't mean I won't find something on sale that I must have after Easter. I haven't been to The Container Store in a long time. We would sometimes go when visiting Adam & Tristen in L.A. Great store! I will never stop using a paper calendar and address book unless they stop making them. Glad the snow is clearing however you still have a lot of it!
