Peeps-My Favorite Moments!


In honor of the new Peeps and Company online store, SocialMoms and Peeps that asks I share my favorite PEEPS moments!

Where do I start? As long as I can remember I have been eating Peeps~as my grandmother was the first one to introduce me to my first Peep! She bought them all the time and way back when{Yes I am old}~they only came in the basic yellow and were chicks. I used to sit and eat them with her in her room before dinner and she never snitched on me one time..LOL As she lived with us when I was a child so we shared many talks over Peeps~just her and I.



Then there was another Peeps lover that ate them all thru the year~and that would be my Mother.She loved Peeps to no end. Imagine her excitement when they not only came in yellow but purple~pink and blue! We had all of these in every room in the house and also in the freezer.Mom could be seen with a Peep in the dead of winter~only one on the block too!

 I must get my love of Peeps from them~as I have to admit that these are one of my favorite things about Easter! I love the sweet~marshmallow taste of them.I was so excited when I saw that they were in so many colors and had rabbits and chicks!


I have been getting Peeps since I was a little girl~and I personally think that my dad got the naughty ones because look at the picture I found in my parents things~
Good thing that I was the one to find that..What would my Mother have thought?! LOL

Not only are Peeps good just to eat out of the package~did you know that there are many recipes to make with them?!? This year I am going to make these for the grandchildren~

Don't they look good? I know that they will love them as much as me~after all I shared my love of Peeps with them too! As it wouldn't be Easter without my Peeps now would it?!? And,I will put many different colors on the cupcakes so I can leave the leftovers at home.A few more little Peeps won't hurt..

    My husband loves OLD peeps, but I don't care for them. Those cupcakes are cute though!

PAAS Easter Egg Dye and Heinz Vinegar Review

Easter is early this year,so we decided to dye eggs last night. You know that the Easter Bunny has got to get the baskets ready so we need to help with the coloring.{So~I am told by my grandson} We were super excited as this year we were sent some new PAAS Easter egg dyes to try.       This year, PAAS has seven new egg decorating kits, including Volcano Eggsplosion, a kit that uses melted crayon shavings to provide instant color and Touch of Velvet, a kit that uses double stick adhesives and flocking powder to create fun, fuzzy shapes on your Easter creations! For the brightest, most vivid colors, add one tablet and three tablespoons of Heinz Distilled White Vinegar to a PAAS Color Cup or a one-cup container. Once the tablet has dissolved, add ½ cup water and stir gently.      According to the PAAS  more than 180 million eggs a year are dyed with PAAS dye!   Also, to help keep hard-cooked eggs from cracking, add two tablespoons of Heinz Distilled W

As there is nothing worse then dry~cracked lips. I have been using Carmex for as long as I can remember. I was so excited to see a package arrive from them! Carmex has a new flavor~Pomegranate. This new scent is awesome~I love it! Not too sweet and it makes my lips feel so smooth just like the others!
