Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends as you can tell from the title I have a lot of things I want to write about. I’ve also been busy working on a second Word Press site that I will be telling all of you about soon. With all the being said lets get to it

April 15th – On this day I got a really fun Easter basket at work that was full of fun art items. On my lunch I went to Safeway and I got a Squishmallow beachball. The beachball made me think of summer and how excited I am for it to finally get here but I will talk more about that at the end of the post.

April 16th- I was off on this day. I went to my favorite used book store. I got a really cool summer notebook, Two American girl books, and a book about a cat. I also got coffee and went on a walk. It was a good day off.

April 17th – At work on this day I got three Squishmallow lip balms! I had seen this display of lip balms earlier but I waited until today to get them. I love that the lip balms are squishy just like the toys that they are based on. I was so happy to get the lip balms maybe I should do a review on them.

April 18th – On this day I got two Claires Easter items at work. I also got some bubble gum at work. Later on in the day I went to Trader Joes and I got some very cute spring stickers!

April 19th – I got one more Squishmallow lip balm at work I also got a Crayola art set. It was a very stressful day and I did some coloring to calm myself down. It was a hard day but I made it though.

April 20th – Today was Easter but I had to work it was another hard day at work. I feel like Easter did not really happen this year. It just felt like a challenging work day. I hope next year is different.

Looking forward – Summer is on the way and I’m so excited. I’m already thinking about my summer bucket list, the trips I have planned and all of bucket list items I will cross off. May might be kind of a slow month for me as I work to get ready for an amazing three months. I also have a goal of not getting behind on blog posts like I did last year.

Thank you for reading!

Other Items I bought on this shopping trip include Two Lisa Frank coloring books, a Barbie coloring book, stickers, a notebook that comes with stickers, Barbie socks, surprise toys and Squishmallow toothpaste.

local shopping , a Target trip, and a Barbie Easter bundle

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It is so crazy how fast this month is going by and as always I feel like I don’t have a enough time to blog but as always I will make time. I recently had a day off where I went to a book store and I went to Target. Also I recently visited my favorite local thrift store. I can’t wait to tell you about all this and more so let’s get to it.

Thrift store and toy store

3/11/25- On this day, I left the house early, and I went into town. First, I went to my favorite local thrift store.  I got a few cool things like a Squishmallow and a hat that looks really good on me. I also got these really cool snap-on dots that you can put on your clothes. After getting coffee, I went to the toy store where I got a squishy toy and a sheet of surfboard stickers.

Book store and Target

3/12/25- I had this day off. It was a rainy day, but I still made the most of it. After getting  coffee, I went to my new favorite book store . All the books are 1 or 2 dollars. I got some books from the city spies series, a book about arts and craft projects, and my favorite book that I got from this book store trip was a Barbie book that came with a bunch of cute stickers and a poster! After the book store I went to Target.  I had an order to pick up there, but I also stopped by the dollar spot where I got some cute things, including spring themed duck toys! In my pick-up order, I got some regular everyday items that I needed, but I also got some fun items like bath bombs with prizes and an art kit. However, my favorite item I got was the golden egg hunt by Nee Doh . This egg hunt is an advent calendar style box that has a squishy toy behind each door. The goal is to find the squishy golden egg. It did not take me too long to find the gold egg, but my favorite squishy toy in this box is a squishy butterfly ring. I highly recommend getting the golden egg hunt if you love squishy toys!

Barbie Easter bundle

3/14/25

As soon as Valentine’s Day was over, stores began to put out their Easter items.  As soon as I saw this Barbie Easter bundle at Safeway, I knew I really wanted it, but it wasn’t exactly cheap. After having my eye on it for a while, I decided to buy it. It was on sale, after all. I’m happy I decided to buy it and yes, it comes with stickers.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and for reading about some of my March adventures.

My first mall trip of 2025 !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently went to the mall for the first time this year! I love going to the mall, and I did some of my favorite things there, including a massage. I’m excited to tell you about to, so let’s get to it.

February 26th 2025

I had this day off, and I was excited to go to the mall to get a massage, shop at Claires, and get Taco Bell. I went to the massage place first. It was crowded, but it was worth it. After getting some much needed work on my shoulders and back, I went to Claires. They were having a buy three get three sale on everything! I got twelve items. Some of the items I got were hair bows, cute stationery supplies , a set of necklaces, a pen with a squishy duck on it , and a set of cute frog buttons! It was a very successful trip to Claires! Oh, I also got a cute surprise lip gloss at Claires. After my massage and my shopping trip to Claires, I went to the Taco Bell in the food court. I love going to Taco Bell, but the location that was closest to me closed, so since I had an opportunity to go, I went. They had this new birthday cake churro and it was so good ! I knew it would probably be good, but it tasted better than I ever imagined it would! On the way home from the mall, we stopped and got coffee. I really enjoyed my day off!

Thanks for reading

A fun friend day in February

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Even though I have not crossed off any bucket list items this month, I consider this month to be a successful one because I got to see a friend. As I get closer to the middle of my 30s it gets seem like it gets more difficult to see my friends and to be social in general so if I get to see a friend one day out of the month I feel successful in being a somewhat social person. Now that I have made a very long introduction to this post, let’s get to the post. Here we go

February 11th 2025

I had work on this day but I left my house early so I would have time with my friend before it was time in clock in. we met at my favorite local thrift store because we both enjoy thrift shopping. I got some toys and art supplies. After thrift shopping we went to a local coffee shop and we had a good conversation while we enjoyed our drinks. Before we went to lunch, we stopped by one of my favorite toy stores. I got a package that had surprise toys in it, and I also got a box with three squishy toys in it. After the toy store we went to lunch. lunch was really good and we also got to talk to each other more before I had to go to work. I’m so thankful that I got to spend time with my friend!

Thank you so much for reading!
