A bubbling cauldron of hot chili accompanied by the usual sides provides the perfect Halloween food buffet for hungry little ghouls - It’s also a very relaxed, warming way to entertain and feed a crowd before Trick or Treat! We love it so much in our house, that we've now made a tradition of having a chili buffet every Halloween! :) Here are some easy ideas on how to style a fun and spooky-licious Halloween Chili Buffet that I designed and styled for the fall Edition of Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine!
Christmas is 'round the corner! Can you believe it?! One of my favorite traditions in our house, is the Christmas themed breakfast . Whether on Christmas eve, a few days before or Christmas morning itself, going all out this time of year to treat the little ones is all part of the joy! Most week days it's our schedules and 'routine' breakfast rituals that take over. And since kids wake up at silly o' clock at Christmas anyways, you might a swell roll with it! Plus, it's also nice for me to prepare something a little more special and magical for my little elves ;)
I know we're all thinking about Halloween. But it never too early in my party book to start Christmas planning. So if you need inspiration, recipe ideas, snacks and DIY crafts, head to your newsagents and pick up a copy of Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine !! Thrilled to one of the contributing writers and stylists for this fab publication! Especially giddy to have teamed up with Oriental Trading this issue, for a North Pole Inspired Christmas Party spread! :)
I styled this Easter Kids Brunch last year for Yum and Food for Kids Magazine. Their Easter issue is out and full of amazing ideas!!

It's a very simple and super colorful table that will wow your little bunnies! But these unique ideas can also be used for the family table too, simply replace the disposable tableware with fancier china.
Who says Halloween is all about the sweet stuff?!

The last of our three Kids' Holiday Tables was inspired by cute penguins, so naturally the color scheme was black and white , with splashes of bright yellow to warm things up! I wanted to create a more sophisticated and modern looking table, whilst keeping the styling fun for the kids - A good balance for those who love to entertain in style, even for little guests! ;)
