Build the Perfect Easter Basket with PEEPS

March 25, 2015 by Samantha 6 Comments

Disclosure: “The PEEPS ^®product, information and gift have been provided by Just Born Retail Group.”

Did you know…?

Yellow is America’s best-selling color of PEEPS^® Chicks and Bunnies, followed by pink and then blue.
Just Born produces enough PEEPS® Brand Marshmallow Candies in one year to circle the earth three times.
Chicks rule! 4 out of every 5 PEEPS® purchased are Chicks – either flavored, dipped in chocolate, covered in chocolate or in the original un-flavored marshmallow form.

Just a few fun facts to start your day off sweetly. You are going to want to get your PEEPS® early this year so you can try all the new flavors for 2015. There is also PEEPS® plush, apparel, and other Just Born candy brands at peepsandcompany.com, the one-stop-“hop” for all things sweet.

My son just loves Peeps. My grandmother has always loved them as well, so I always buy a ton as soon as they hit shelves and get them both a wide variety of Marshmallow Chicks and Marshmallow Bunnies. While Peeps are great for Easter baskets, they are also a fun reminder of spring in general, and my son, husband, and grandmother eat them pretty constantly until there are none left.

The Littlest Bunny Book- Review and Giveaway

February 3, 2015 by Samantha 62 Comments

As Easter hops closer, some of us want to get our own little bunnies in a festive mood. What do you do in your house? We decorate, bake, and of course, read lots of Easter books (and watch occasional movies, too). One of the newest books I have found is “The Littlest Bunny”, which is really cool because it lets you choose your state or province and personalize your book that way.

Each book in The Littlest Bunny Series features art and text created especially for a specific state or city, including all 50 states as well as cities in Canada.

Easter Baskets for Babies

April 5, 2014 by Samantha 1 Comment

Got a little one this Easter? Chocolate and candies won’t do, and some of the “big kid” stuff is overwhelming in little hands. Check out these fun, age appropriate ideas of what to fill their Easter basket with.

Cloud B Bubbly Bunny is adorable and perfect for baby’s first Easter morning. This uber soft plush bunny plays four soothing sounds that are begun by the push of a button. Volume controlled by mom and dad, it also has a sleep timer option with 23 or 45 minute intervals you can choose from. This sweet bunny makes an adorable Easter gift. $30 at http://cloudb.com

Also available from Cloud B is Glow Cuddles Bunny, another cuddly, soothing option. When your child hugs this bunny (or fusses), it mimics a heartbeat in sound and feeling, helping to calm your child to sleep. It also has a steady glow, though not too bright that it would interfere with sleep. $33 at http://cloudb.com

TOMY’s Lil’ Chirpers Sorting Eggs is perfect for a child who is becoming more mobile, or is learning colors, shapes, or sorting. Not only is it good for learning, but it’s cute and brightly colored- and great for the holiday. It contains two matching games, six eggs, and a carry/storage case. When an egg is “broken” open, a colorful chick can be found inside. If your child presses on the head of the chick, a “peeping” sound will be made. $12 at http://tomy.com

Eco-friendly Easter Basket

March 30, 2014 by Samantha Leave a Comment

Spring is the time of year that, for many of us, we are inspired to celebrate nature. As the snow clears and the flowers begin to bloom once more, it’s a handy reminder for us all about life cycles, renewal and the importance of protecting nature—even in big cities. New York is a city that positively bursts with color in spring, whether you’re exploring the wilds of Central Park or merely lucky enough to be a resident in a complex that respects and protects green-spaces (such as The Greenwich Lane in the West Village, which features incredibly serene gardens.) Of course, this great season of re-birth coincides with Easter, and if you’re looking for an eco-friendly way of celebrating with your kids this March 31st, a thoughtful Easter basket could be the way to go. Here are five ideas of what to put in yours:

1. Eco-Friendly Books
Thoughtful publishers are now, more and more, focusing on sustainable practices when it comes to releasing their books. Since it wouldn’t be Easter without a bunny or two, we’d recommend a copy of Beatrix Potter’s Peter Rabbit. The new Snuggle Book version of the classic tale comes in a cuddle-friendly organic cotton and is perfect for toddlers, while the original version has been delighting children for over a century now and is a great way to teach kids about farming and wildlife.

2. Seeds and Gardening Equipment

Easter Peeps Giveaway!

March 28, 2014 by Samantha 45 Comments

Disclosure- I participated in this campaign on behalf of Peeps And Company. I received promotional items to facilitate this review and as a thank you item for participating. All opinions are my own and honest. See I Disclose Tab if you would like more information.

I love the new additions that they have this year, and honestly didn’t make anyone wait until Easter to try them all out. There are new Birthday Cake Peeps, chocolate mousse dipped in chocolate chicks, dark chocolate- not to mention the multi-colored Peeps Marshmallow Bunny and chocolate egg complete with a Peeps Chick in it. There are also new candies- they are chocolate candies with marshmallow centers. They are individually wrapped and come by the bagful.
