That's it, summer's officially over! My kids got back to school this week, and the cooler temps are already beckoning for all things Fall, like pumpkin spice lattes and cozy craft sessions in front of the TV 😊 So today I'm sharing a couple of super cute, and simple DIY projects that are perfect to get your office or school life organized and oh-so pretty!
A Summer Backyard Camping Party with Free Printables
“This post is sponsored by Sony Pictures in connection with the release of Hotel Transylvania 3: Summer Vacation. ” During the summer months I'm always on a lookout for easy ideas to keep my kids (and the whole family) busy and entertained. Are you the same? Even if we plan a vacation trip somewhere, there are those days where I find it quite challenging planning and coming up with a new bucket-list of exciting and fun family adventure to embark upon. This is why I'm so excited to kick off our summer this year with a movie + backyard camping party for my whole gang!
Mexican Mule Cocktail Recipe
Cinco de Mayo is nearly upon us and it's the perfect time of year to celebrate all things Mexican. Starting with the delicious, colorful cuisine, which of course includes some of my favorite fiesta cocktails! Last year I shared my cocktail recipe twist on the classic Mojito here . So this year I thought I'd do the same and re-visit another classic cocktail (the Moscow Mule), to inject a Mexican twist to my happy hour! 😉

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.

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!

How to Make an Elsa Doll Birthday Cake
Today I'm sharing the steps how I made that Elsa doll call, from the Frozen inspired birthday party I shared last week. These types of doll cakes are nothing new. In fact, I was totally obsessed with having one for my 10th birthday party (Barbie themed), so let's just say it was a while ago we first saw them 😋
Silver Snowflake Winter Party Ideas
Happy New Year, party friends! It's been a while since I last posted, but after all the end-of year celebrations, come January and I feel all partied out! Are you the same? Anyways, we gotta get motivated somehow...and although winter is not my fav, there's still ways we can make the most of these cold months - hello hot toddy and homemade marshmallows ! 😉
Roast Pork with Herb & Mustard Crust Recipe
My favorite part of the Christmas Holidays is cooking and baking well into the New Year. It's my way of showing my family and friends how much I love them. I feed, therefore I love 😋 But I also like putting my feet up and enjoy their company, so I tend to go for big batch recipes, stuff I can make ahead or easy bang-it-in-the-oven-and-forget-about-it type of recipes. Hence this tasty Christmas roast pork with a gorgeous herbs and mustard crust, which I served at my Christmas meal last year!
