A tisket, a tasket. A vegan Easter basket

Although my sister and I are both grown up, my mom still loves to make us Easter baskets like she did when we were little girls. And hey, I'm not going to complain about that!


















This year's Easter basket contained nail polish, 2 stuffed animals, veggie soup mix (my mom is a funny lady), bunny socks, a chick pin, 2 lollipops, money, and duck soap-on-a-rope (my sister got bunny soap-on-a-rope. I told you my mom's a funny lady!)

























Above-- showing off my Easter basket...

But then Henry started whining that a boring old basket was getting all the attention. So I, of course, had to pick up my spoiled doggie and take a picture with him.

























Are you happy now, Henry?



On a totally unrelated note, I've been tagged by the sweet Kristin, over at Kristin's Nibbles, to sum up my life in six words. Here goes...

I am a happy, healthy vegan!

There are many, many words I could add to that sentence; it's so hard to be succinct!

Henry is too cute! And I really liked that brown little bunny in your basket!

Yes, I am coming to Texas! My parents live there, and the kids have spring break in April, so we are driving out to visit! I love Texas, and I love visiting my parents as well! My mom is taking me to Spiral Diner, hooray! (the Fort Worth one)

Hi again!
Just wanted to pass on this information ...

Boston Magazine recently published an article all about us this month - here is the link:

Oh Soy Tasty!

If you have a few minutes to spare, could do us a huge favor and read the article and comment at the bottom of the page? We're very excited about getting such great press, especially from a magazine of this caliber. If everyone drops by and leaves a quick comment, soon there will be no doubt in any publisher's mind: YES, readers absolutely do want to know about vegan happenings and developments. Please don't hesitate to repost the article on your blog and spread the world!

Thanks!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who still gets an Easter basket! And you look so pretty in your pink Easter dress!

ChocolateCoveredVegan said...

Sarah,

Yes, I am naturally this way. I don't count calories or worry about what I eat (except to make sure it's vegan LOL). But seriously, I have friends who are much bigger than me and have just as good of a life!

Be happy with who you are (ugh, I sound like one of those annoying motivational speakers!!!).

Sam said...

That is so cute! My mom just gave me boring old concert tickets...
;-)

You're dress in awesome! You look pretty in pink! I look ill in pink...

Ruby Red Vegan said...

Ahhh, cute basket and of course cute Easter outfit! I love the dress/white tights/shoe combo :) I used to get Easter baskets too - I'll have to ask my mom what happened to that little tradition, because now I want one too!

Duckie soap! I want duckie soap.

I'd hate to use it, though.

asmexyhousewife said...

EEP! I <3 your outfit, there.

Ducky soap on a rope. That is priceless!

My parents got my husband and I some gifts for Easter, but due to some family illness I have not been able to visit and claim it! They won't tell me what it is, but it is being kept in the freezer to keep fresh... hmmm.

Speaking of gifts, there is something I have for you! But you have to wait a little bit. Heheheh.

Nice Easter basket.

I imagine that'd be hard to sum up your life in six words. Jeez, I wouldn't know how to do that. Sounds fun, though.

I'm glad you had a good Easter.
