Frangipane is an almond based French cream. Now that we've got the vocabulary lesson out the way, let's move on to the cooking, shall we?! 😉 This delicious apple and frangipane tart is the bom diggity of tarts, and it's one of my favorite recipes to make this time of year, especially for Thanksgiving as you saw in my Boho Chic post here !

Thank you Mardi Gras Napkins for sponsoring this post. Learn more about Mardi Gras Conversation Starter Napkins here and grab your coupon today! Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Mainly because of all the the wonderful produce in season this time of year, and the tasty treats we bake (and eat) with them, of course! 😉 Our apple trees were covered in fruit these past few weeks, and it has been a real treat, I tell ya! We've had apple pies, apple crumbles, apple compotes and even apple chips baked in the oven and covered in cinnamon. YUM! But one of my fav ways to use up all them apples, is with a Caramel Apple Station !

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pillsbury™. The opinions and text are all mine. Fall is here. And we all know fall is synonymous with wonderful produce, like pumpkins. And in turn, you can't bake anything with pumpkins without pumpkin spice, right?! From cakes to lattes, to puddings and cupcakes (my favs!), this seasonal spice mix is everywhere!
If you're in the events planning business or a party blogger like myself, you'll most certainly have a 'little black book' of precious vendors and party contacts. But if you're not in the “biz”. What then? How do you find reliable, efficient and amazing vendors, services and independent businesses to help you with your party planning or event?
Can you believe Halloween is 'round the corner?! Me neither! So I thought I'd better get my skates on and start sharing some spooky inspired posts asap. And today's easy crafty ideas are so quick and fun to make, even the kiddos can help - you'll get a good 30 minutes of peace (tried and tested), and that's always a great incentive to get kids crafting if nothing else! 😋
This post is sponsored by the KEEP Collective but all opinions are my own. The magic surrounding the Mickey & Minnie Disney characters is undeniable. As a birthday theme it remains as popular today as it did back when I was a little girl, when I begged my mom to have a Mickey theme for my 9th birthday. This was the beginning of my love affair with all things Disney! Now that I'm all grown up and have a little girl of my own, I still find myself drawn to this charming party theme. And as party blogger, I witness first hand how much the characters are loved by kids and parents alike.

Summer is coming to an end, boo! And as much as I've been trying to resist the transition into Fall, school for my kiddos starts next week, so there's no denying it any longer. Double boo! But to lessen the blow, and make sure we still make the most of the hot days - yes, it's still 40 deg C in the shade 'round these parts; we celebrated last weekend with an end of summer patio party ! It's our way to enjoy the fine produce on offer at the end of season, and relax before the school routine finally kicks in.

It was national watermelon day on August 03rd (yeah, did you miss that too?!), but it's a party theme that will help us linger a little longer in the sun and reminds us that summer is not quite over yet! 😉

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. The opinions and text are all mine.#PBLove When it comes to going back to school, lunch ideas are at the forefront of my to-do list! Mainly because as a mom, I want to provide variety and fun in my kids lunchboxes and give them something practical, nutritious, tasty and comforting that they can look forward to each day.
Watermelon rhyme with summer, right?! But so does a chilled Rosé wine. So I thought, why not combine the two for a tasty and easy to make semi-frozen granita (or slushie) cocktail?! So that's what I did! And now do, most times when I'm hosting a get-together or summer party. Mainly because this watermelon and rosé wine cocktail is super refreshing for hot summer days, but also fun and mega simple to make. And can we take a sec to appreciate how pretty it also looks?! Win-win! 😊
It's been a little quiet 'round here, I know. But I blame it on summer...kids are at home, sun is shinning, birds are singing, and all of a sudden I find myself strangely drawn to the pool and beach.
