July 29, 2024 Looking for the Perfect Party Favors?

I am always on the lookout for ideas for party favors. At the end of the summer season at Target last year I picked these bubble makers up for just a couple of dollars each. I like the idea of one big party favor lately, instead of lots of little things, so this was perfect. […]

June 6, 2024 Back By Popular Demand: Bluey’s Big Play – The Stage Show

Disclaimer: This post is sponsored. All opinions are my own. I have to admit that Bluey was not a show that we regularly watch in our house. Right now it is all Pokemon all day every day, cringe. So I had some catching up to do. I made a Bluey cake to get us in […]

June 8, 2021 Any Reason to Celebrate: Keep it Normal For the Kids

May 11, 2021 Snack Attack: Grazing Boards For All Occassions

While we may not be entertaining, I still like to make grazing boards. They’re fun to put together, they’re pretty to look at, and my kids love them.
