One of the most popular appetizer recipes out there for any holiday is pigs in a blanket (I prefer ones like these that are pigs in a blanket with cheese but any work). There’s just something about the taste of the baked buttery crescent dough and classic hot dogs together that’s just delicious. These fun hot dog mummies are the full size version of those but all decorated like cute mummies for Halloween....

I’ve shared a lot of pumpkin recipes this year – pumpkin dip, pumpkin oatmeal cookies, and even pumpkin delight – but none are quite like this one. I’m a big fan of cinnamon rolls and this pumpkin pull apart bread is similar in flavors but with a different look and texture. And unlike pumpkin cinnamon rolls, they don’t have to rise, you can just roll out, top, and bake. These would be the perfect option for a Thanksgiving weekend brunch, a fall baby shower, or even just a yummy weekend breakfast....

One of the best things about sugar cookie bars or even Texas sheet cake is the sheer amount of treats that you can get from one pan with only having to pour the batter once instead of having to roll out a bunch of cookies or individual treats. This pumpkin slab pie takes the same concept but with pumpkin pie. So instead of making one or two small pumpkin pies that don’t feed many people at all (especially if you have pumpkin lovers in your family like I do), you can feed a whole crowd at once!...

Quarterback Sneak Super Bowl Scavenger Hunt One of my favorite things to do is to create games with corny titles like my put a ring on it bridal shower games or my pot of Gold St. Patrick’s Day games!

Oscar Trivia Game With the Academy Awards coming up soon and people looking for Oscar party ideas, I thought it would be fun to take a look back at Oscar history and big events that have happened during the Oscars over the years. I mean who will ever forget when La La Land was given the Best Picture nomination on accident when in reality it should’ve been Moonlight. For anyone who loves the movies, these Oscar trivia questions are perfect!...

For this party, I decided to host a pamper night with a twist, a DIY spa product night, and had all of my girl friends come over to create their own spa products to take home and pamper themselves at home whenever they need to de-stress or take a break from real life and their little ones. The theme of the party was lovely in lavender, and I used lavender, mint, and purple colors throughout the party....

My son doesn’t like chocolate so even though I personally would love to eat all the chocolate chip pudding cookies and brownie balls, he won’t touch any of it. But he does love sugar cookies (and snickerdoodles…) – any and all sugar cookies. I’ve already shared my favorite cut out sugar cookies, easy sugar cookies bites, and just last week my favorite sugar cookie icing. Today I’m sharing these delicious cream cheese sugar cookies because well you can never have too many sugar cookie recipes right?...

One of my all-time favorite board games, okay party games, is Outburst. I love it because while you have to guess items within a specific topic, you don’t have to guess the exact one – you have ten to choose from! This year for Thanksgiving, I decided it would be fun to make my own set of Thanksgiving outburst cards so families could play at home. All with a Thanksgiving theme!...

I have to admit, I’m a sucker for fruit pizza. I don’t know if it’s my mind playing tricks on me and thinking oh there’s fruit, this is a healthy dessert option, or what. But I love it. I know traditional fruit pizza using a sugar cookie crust and there are plenty of those out there that are delicious. I’m likely share a recipe for one myself soon. But for now, I wanted to share a unique take on it – instead of a sugar cookie crust, this fruit pizza uses a soft brownie crust thats then topped with a cream cheese layer and sliced fruit....

Why DIY Labels? For my birthday this year I asked for one thing. I asked my parents to take my two boys or 24 hours so my husband and I could organize my house. When I told my neighbors about what I was doing, I realized I wasn’t the only one purging my house in 2020. With all sorts of new organizing shows coming out this year (Home Edit, I’m looking at you), it seemed like everyone I know was trying to make their house more organized and functional....

I don’t drink coffee, so I’ve become quite the avid hot chocolate drinker. When everyone else is getting coffee and you’re at a coffee shop, it’s just not fun to drink water so I always order a hot chocolate. I’ve had some really good hot chocolates before and some really not great, watered down, ones. I’ll be honest, I regularly grab the hot chocolate mix packets and just make myself a mug at home but there’s just nothing like homemade hot chocolate – not even the packets....

Thank you to Visit Phoenix for hosting us for this girls weekend in Phoenix! While we received complimentary lodging, food, and activities for this post, all opinions are 100% honest and my own. This post also contains affiliate links that may earn me a small commission at no additional cost to you. A few months ago when the daily temperatures weren’t above 100 degrees, I had the chance to head to Phoenix Arizona to try out some outdoor adventures with a couple of my girlfriends!...

One of the best birthday traditions is enjoying birthday cake and ice cream. This no-churn birthday cake ice cream recipe takes those two things and combines them together into one delicious treat that everyone will love! It’s a simple recipe that doesn’t require an ice cream maker, just combining a couple of ingredients, and letting it all freeze together! It’s the perfect addition to any birthday party (great after playing these birthday party games) or honestly any time you’re craving birthday cake and ice cream but don’t want to make both!...

Before my sister got married, I had the chance to host a fun bridal shower for her in Phoenix and try out some of these fun things to do in Phoenix while we were there! These Bohemian bridal shower ideas are some of my all-time favorites! It was a little tricky because we had to do it inside (Phoenix is HOT!), and we had to make do with what we could find in the rental home and a nearby thrift store since we were all flying in for the destination wedding....

First off, let me start this post with a little caveat. I say Disney movies because it’s shorter but really this is the full slate for the Walt Disney Studios which includes Disney, DisneyNature, Pixar, Marvel, and LucasFilm (aka Star Wars). I’m going to do something a little differently than most 2019 Disney movie lists I’ve seen out there. I’m going to give you a chronological list (with release dates) because that’s what most of you probably want, but then I’m going to put the Disney movies coming out in 2019 in order of which ones I’m most excited about first moving down to the ones that are still exciting but maybe not quite as exciting as say finding out what happens to my beloved Avengers....

Every once in a while my husband and I go to a restaurant and have something that makes us say, “wow.” Back before we had kids, we went out to eat more often and one of our favorite places was Jaleo in Washington DC. We still talk about the tapas on the regular. But it was the chilled strawberry soup for dessert that made me crave Jaleo on a regular basis....

Halloween Bingo Ever since my family started playing bingo on Christmas Eve, I’ve been a little bingo obsessed. I always try to play when we go on a Disney cruise or when they offer it as an option at Great Wolf Lodge Howl-o-ween, or even at any Halloween carnival we go to! A few years ago I made this monster mash Halloween bingo game, and it’s super cute but the problem is that it was designed for younger kids....

I’ll admit it – I’m not the best when it comes to trivia. I can’t remember what I ate for breakfast so remembering little details about things is tough. I’m pretty good with movie and music trivia (like these Harry Potter trivia questions) but history and fats, nope. But it’s still fun and my husband and son have an amazing memory so we trivia questions a lot at our house....

While St. Patrick’s Day parties may not be as common as Christmas parties, that doesn’t mean it’s not still really fun to host one! My husband is part Irish and really likes corned beef and cabbage! Me? Not so much, but I do like hosting a party no matter what the occasion. And I really like rainbows (hello rainbow donuts!) and lots of color, so I’m totally on board! So whether you celebrate actually on March 17th or the weekend before, this set of printables will work just fine!...

We’ve been loaded with fresh berries the past few weeks, so it’s been fun trying to come up with creative ways to use them. I mean there’s always things like mixed berry cobbler (and that’s a GREAT recipe for it), blueberry cheesecake bars, and of course putting them on a summer charcuterie board. But I wanted something different, something that most people probably haven’t seen before. And these fun strawberry cheesecake cones are just that....
