Consumer Queen Easter Party and Last Minute Easter Ideas
Many of you may already know this but some of you may not. I do not keep the website going all by myself. I have an awesome group of talented moms who love to share their passions with with you. Some are awesome deal finders some love to cook awesome recipes, some have a passion for organics and some are just plain crafty! Without this talented group of women this website would not be possible. I love that their passion is to help our readers save time and money as well as share fun projects. This is what I truly call a ministry and the reason why I started this site so many years ago.
From time to time I like to surprise these ladies with something fun so I decided to come up with a fun Easter basket filling party. I invited all the moms to my house and asked them to bring their kid's Easter Baskets. I filled my dining room with all kinds of snacks and toys from several of our sponsors that were so kind enough to send items to reward these ladies for their generosity in their time for others. A special thank you to the sponsors that also sent items to Princess lacey who lives all the way in OHIO who couldn't celebrate with us in person. We had variety of products from organic candy, snacks, nut free snacks and toys. If you are looking for some Easter Ideas to fill your child's Easter basket check out all of these suggestions below and if you have never had a HALO OMG they are delicious! This was my first time to try them.
