GW Easter pretties and a NEW Home Party concept...

Good Morning girls! I had a bit of time to pass yesterday so I ran into the Goodwill over by my mom's house. She told me the day before that they had a whole aisle of Easter stuff so I wanted to check it out. They actually had 3 aisles of Easter decor!!!

So I found all these goodies yesterday:) I also had a 15% off coupon I got when I donated some old toys and clothes a couple weeks ago, so I ended up spending only $4.54!! Woo-Hoo!! You can't beat that!


I found this really neat Easter basket; I just loved the colors on it- kinda retro colored eggs. I also found a "Happy Spring" and a bunny "shelf sitters". See the cute ceramic egg? It opens up and you can put goodies inside. I also got a 6 pack of paper eggs that I'll end up putting them on my windows.


This little yellow bunny is cute but needs some eyes added to it. Also got the sweet Easter pail and a 2 pack of decorated eggs! I could NOT believe how many Easter Baskets that had; I couldn't decide!!!


My dear friend Holly collects these plates and asked us fellow bloggers to be on the look out for them. This pattern was one that her mom had when they were growing up, so they have sentimental value for sweet Holly! Enjoy Holly ♥


Last night I was invited to a "House Party" that my friend Angie was hosting. It featured products from Ziploc. There is a new website called House Party.com
that you can go to and sign up to host "parties" for companies who want to market their products. I applied for a Fisher Price toys party a couple months ago and was chosen! They sent 4 big toys for Gage to keep plus coupons for moms and little toys for the children that came with their moms. The concept behind the "house parties" are that you share a companies products with family and friends. There is no charge to do them and nothing for anyone to have to buy either. Which is nice!! The site just has you check an agreement that you will use your "party's blog site" to invite guests, post pics or videos about the party you've hosted! Its so easy and all the products are sent to you free and yours to keep!!!



So at Angie's last night, we got a bunch of free products; such as this Ziploc X Large bag which would be great for storing old, out of season clothes for example.


Here are 2 containers that we received, a few Ziploc baggies, a notepad, Sharpie marker and a coupon packet. I also got 2 medium sized bags that had pretty polka dots on them and now I see that the pic didn't come up that I posted- ugh!!
It was a nice time last night to get out, get some free stuff and organizational tips and Angie also served some yummy snacks too!

Here are a couple new pics of my little Gage:) I cannot believe that he will be 2 in April!!! It makes me so sad:)


Here is Gage with all his cars at the kitchen table!! I called it his "used car lot"; which Gavin thought was pretty funny!!! This is what our table looks like everyday; lol! And EVERYDAY I have to clear off all the cars so we have room to eat dinner!!


Holly, awhile back you posted pics of your kitties... Well here is Maxie (the black and white one) getting ready to kick Maddie's butt (the tabby)!! They do this at least 3 times a day and EVERY TIME, Maddie lays there like a dummy while Maxie attacks and bites her!!


And here goes Wrestle-Mania time! The boys laugh because I'll start singing that old "Cat Scratch Fever" song when these 2 fight!! LOL


Hope you all have a nice day! T.G.I.F.~ RIGHT???
Today we are off to look at how we can redo our tub/shower "surround"; man, does it need it!!!

You know what's funny? Micah never was into cars. He's a real unique kid! My other boys loved them.

Love shopping at the GW for vintage stuff. I love the picture of your table with all the trains lined up. My boys were into Thomas trains big time too and they were every where.

Ooooh look at all those Easter treasures you found! I need to go look at our own thrift shops to see if they have Easter stuff out yet. Noelle, you do realize we're bad for each other, don't you? We tease each other with stuff we like and then we have to go out and spend money! LOL Love it!!

Gage is such a cutie pie and wow, look at all his cars! My two boys were very much into cars as well and I still have all their Hot Wheels in a box in the basement.

Love your kitties as well, how funny that they have wrestling episodes every day. hehe I bought a couple of mouse toys for the fluffy gray kitty I feed and he had me laughing so much, he was twisting this and that way, throwing it up in the air, etc. I so wish I could keep them but E won't hear of it. Boooo!

Have a terrific weekend my friend. xoxo
