New Year's Eve Quick & Easy Party Food & Drinks

New Year's Eve Quick & Easy Party Food & Drinks

Champagne New Year Cake Hey party lovers, are you excited for 2018? I sure am!!  Even though I have high expectations for 2018 and am hoping for a year of prosperity, joy and blessing...I'm not one to really go to town with parties on New Year's Eve, I have to admit.  I think by the time New Year Eve comes 'round, I'm all partied out! 😋 Having said that, we always have nibbles and drinks at our house on the last day of the year. Whether we have company or not.

Whether you're hosting a cocktail party or full-on Christmas dinner this holiday season, these ornamental drink stirrers will help jazz up your drinks from now until New Year's Eve! Come to think of it, they'd be a perfect match for our Pomegranate Moscow Mule cocktail we shared yesterday! 😊

My Pink & Copper Christmas Party

My Pink & Copper Christmas Party

If you've seem my blog posts lately , you'd have noticed how much the pink and copper combo is influencing my party styling these days! Millennial pink is a super hot trend right now, and paired with the cool metallic shine from copper accents, makes for a festive and oh-so girly table, whatever the occasion. So my heart dictated the choice of colors for our Christmas table this year! Check out the prettiness below.

December is 'round the corner so it's the perfect time to be thinking about your Advent Calendars!  I always seem to leave it too late, I must confess. But this year, I pulled my crafty stash out last week and made this baby in one afternoon with the help of my little elves 😊 ( Did you see my Instagram stories? ) Seriously, it's the perfect, EASY craft for an afternoon with the kiddos! Plus, it doesn't hurt that it shimmers with all sorts of metallic ornaments and pretty glitter, shiny papers, right?!
