friday favorites | pink and red

February 8, 2019

This Friday Favorites post is titled “pink and red” because I didn’t realize a lot of the items were Valentine’s Day appropriate! I know I shared a lot of these items on my social media already but had to make it official with a blog post. 😉 Enjoy!

easy valentine’s day snacks

February 1, 2019

January is FINALLY over (seriously longest month ever) and now it’s time to think Valentine’s Day! I don’t know about you but my kid’s classes are always looking for volunteers to bring holiday treats to their parties. I always like to help out as much as I can because teachers do too much! Bless their hearts! I’m going to share some SUPER EASY valentine’s day treats to bring to class parties, give to loved ones or just eat yourself! Keep in mind… I’m not a food blogger so my pictures are sub-par and my instructions might seem vague BUT the snacks taste delicious! 😉

white elephant gift ideas

December 10, 2018

It seems like the most popular “game” to play at Christmas parties is the White Elephant. If you don’t know what that is, let me explain. White Elephant means bring a wrapped gift of something funny or something you don’t want anymore laying around your house. It’s supposed to be kind of a “joke” gift. Usually the money limit is around $20-$35 OR everyone just grabs something from their house. I typically buy a gift because no one wants to get stuck with your old junk. Even though you buy a gift, you can still make it fun and silly! Here are some good ideas if you’re stuck on what to get.

our favorite christmas books

December 6, 2018

One of my favorite Christmas traditions is picking out a new Christmas book every year. Our collection is really growing because I’ve been doing it since McKenzie and Kasey were born (2008!). If you do the Elf on the Shelf tradition it would be a fun idea to have the elf bring a Christmas book on the first night every year! Over the years you will begin to cherish all of your books and they can be passed down to your kids and grandchildren. I LOVE special little things that make the holidays even more meaningful. I thought I’d share our absolute favorite ones to read every year.

a non-traditional holiday meal with stella® cheese

November 26, 2018

This post is sponsored by Stella® Cheese but the content and opinions expressed here are my own.

I don’t know about you guys, but in the months of November and December we attend A LOT of holiday parties. My husband and I have multiple parties for each sides of our family, plus friend parties, and all the kid’s events as well! That usually means eating a lot of turkey, ham, stuffing… all your basic holiday foods.

I think it’s nice to switch up the traditional holiday meals with some other out of the box meals. For at least one of our holiday parities we will do Italian food! It’s still in the same “comfort food” category but many people might not think of it as holiday party food.
