Easter for us is brunch. It's a tradition. Whether we have guests over or not. And for me, brunch is all about relaxed entertaining . Taking time to enjoy those around the table, and just be be present, together on this special period of the year.
Styling a DIY Mimosa Bar with Free Printables
Brunch is always more fun when funky drinks are involved, don't you think?! And for Easter brunch, a Mimosa Bar is ideal to suit all - The healthy folks, the moms, the kids (minus the champers 'course..), the dads and the cocktail lovers like moi. I spent my childhood in Rio, and over there juices are sacred. It's always hot and naturally, fridges are always full of homemade juices; 3 or more tropical fruit flavors at a time. All made from the pure fruits, water and sugar . They're not that hard to make and taste beyond amazing!
Emoji DIY Easter Party Eggs with Printables
If you follow along on Instagram, you would have seen a sneaky peek of this Emoji inspired DIY back in February, when I had the light bulb idea of turning these printable Emojifest toppers into funky eggs for Easter! When testing the idea, I actually gave my husband a little fright when he opened the egg carton box to make omelet for lunch :D

Wearing green on St Patrick's Day not only ensures you won't get pinched, but it's also meant to bring good luck. But, I do not fancy looking like I took fashion lessons from a leprechaun... Nothing wrong with how they dress per say (if any leprechauns are reading this...), but after the age of 18 it gets a little harder to rock the stripy socks and green wig look ;)
Creamy Chickpea Houmous Appetizer Recipe
St. Patrick's Day is 'round the corner, and what better appetizer than a creamy houmous, to soak up the lashings of Guinness ?! This is a favorite dip in our house, and makes a welcome appearance on many cocktail parties because it's super easy and quick to make, quite healthy, you can make it a day in advance, and tastes DIVINE! My husband has been know to "drink" the stuff. Neat! So I always make sure I make plenty. And I have a little secret for making it super creamy too!
St Patrick's Day Free Printables & DIY Favor
I love DIY party favors . Especially the cute but quickie kind! And I often turn to candy, or some variation on the theme...And St Patrick's Day is no different. Take a candy tube, some color appropriate green gumballs , add a dash of cuteness with free printables and voila! Instant favors that will charm the lucky pants off any leprechaun! ;)

March's arrived and St Patrick's day is only a couple of weeks away, so we've got our leprechaun party hats on 'round here! And for me, it's the ideal (excuse) occasion to treat myself to a yummy Irish Coffee. Whether for a party or just because, as it's the perfectly warming cocktail for this time of year too, and super simple to make.
