If you follow me on Instagram , you'd have seen a few sneak peeks of these cute Santa cake pops , and today I'm sharing the easy step-by-step tutorial. My seven year old daughter helped me with these ( you can see her little hands in the photos, bless ) and they are perfect to entertain little ones over the Holiday period.

Being in charge of Thanksgiving dinner can seem like a daunting task. Even for the most discerning hostess. Between cooking the perfect turkey, the gravy, the stuffing, or setting the perfect table...the to-do list can seem endless! But the key is to prep as much as you can in advance. And ask for help! So in the spirit of sharing, I've compiled a collection of recipes to help you on your way - Including several turkey recipe ideas, sides, condiments, desserts and treats (making my mouth water already...).
“Where’d you get those awesome Christmas cards?” is one of the things we all love to hear after choosing, creating and sending Christmas cards each year, right?! ;) And the answer (for me, at least!) is always Pear Tree. The cards that everyone loves the most are usually their unique holiday photo cards that have special interactive features like their new spinner cards, or picture frame cards . They may have multiple pages like their photo book cards , or unusual shapes like the ornament cards . And any card with a ribbon or real gold foil automatically gets my thumbs up for awesomeness! ♥
Thanksgiving Sugar & Spice Kids Party Tablescape
Last year we did a round up of gorgeous tablescape for Thanksgiving , so this year we're sharing some fun party ideas for the kids table. This stunning Thanksgiving party was featured first on Bird's Party Magazine a while back, and styled by Alexandra from Enchanted Events and Designs. The idea is to make the Thanksgiving kids table inviting enough so the kids will want to sit put. For a little while at least... So crafts, activities and practical but FUN decorations are a must!
When life gives you lemons, sometimes is hard to think about making lemonade. Especially when what you reeeally wanted to begin with, was a huge slice of comforting lemon meringue pie :) If my sweet analogy doesn't really cut the lemon curd (sorry...pun intended.), what I'm trying to say is; we don't always get what we want . Stuff happens. But most certainly, there's always, ALWAYS, something to be thankful for!
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! :)
