Thank you Idaho Spuds for sponsoring this post. VeggieMash mashed potatoes are a blend of 100% Idaho® grown potatoes and real vegetables for a new take on a family favorite! I love party appetizers, don't you? Serve up a delicious platter of nibble-size food or snacks and I'm all over it! 😍 But serving a delicious AND nutritious party appetizer can often be a challenge, I find. Especially if you have adults and kids present at an event or family gathering and have to cater for various palates.
Have you seen these amazing, trendy cream tarts in shapes of numbers and letters, taking over Instagram and Pinterest ? Well, I personally like to call them "cookie cakes" instead because, well, they look like layered cake to me! They're basically two giant sugar cookies sandwiched together with some sort of frosting in the middle, and decorated on top with tons (and I mean tons) of candy, fruit, macarons, chocolate, edible flowers...you're only limited to your imagination when it comes to the decor of these cookie cakes!

For us, spending fun moments creating (and eating) delicious treats, like these Peanut Butter and Chocolate Brownie Sundaes, is the ultimate family activity!
These easy summer beach cupcakes not only look super adorable, but they taste like summer in your mouth with their delicious pina colada inspired frosting. Sooo good, you guys! Whether you're baking your own cupcakes or simply decorating store-bought ones (I'd totally choose this option in summer to avoid putting the oven on!), these cupcakes are a cinch to make. And eat! 😉

Summer is my favorite time of year to party, and there's nothing I love more than gathering with friends and celebrating the season in style! In summer we don’t need an excuse to party, we simply celebrate life! :) One of my favorite and most treasured summertime traditions is our annual lake party! Check out all the fun details of our party below, to help inspire you to throw your own epic lake side party this summer!
“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!
Summer's officially here, and it's SOOOO good to finally get our bikinis and sunglasses out of storage, right?! 😎 Of course, it's also time to brush up on our cocktails for all those fab summer parties! And we're kicking off our summer of delicious libations with this refreshing, and oh-so-easy-to-make watermelon daiquiri cocktail!
Photo source How's the 4th of July already next week?! 😯 Time sure flies, and there's nothing better than quick and easy DIY crafts, decor and party treats to help us get into the patriotic, festive spirits with style and ease! So here are a few hand-picked Pinterest favorites that have inspired me this week. Hope you too feel inspired for your own red, white and blue celebrations!
Summer is upon us, and apart from drinking sangria all day, I'm dreaming about crafting all sorts of fun, colorful and seasonal party accessories, like these custom summer sun hats! Wouldn't they be so cool for a pool or beach party?! I made these for a summer party shoot I styled a few weeks ago (as you probably saw in my Instagram stories ?) and they looked so fab and were so easy to make, that I had to share the DIY tutorial here with you guys!
Father's Day is this Sunday, and if you need easy, no-cooking-involved, no-fuss but totally delicious ideas to celebrate dad, then this Cheese and Beer Tasting party is IT! I mean, I don't know many dads who'd pass up the chance to taste beer on his special day (or any day...). Or cheese. Or cheese AND beer together! Cheese and beer might sound heavy for summer, but we kept the cheeses light, serving it alongside fresh and seasonal produce, all washed down with more refreshing, summery types of beers.
Paper anything is my jam. But paper flowers are my particular favorites! I mean, you take a fairly simple, banal, flat piece of paper and fashion it into something 3-D, beautiful and super practical. What's not to love?! And did I mention they're so easy to craft? Yep, despite their intricate looks, they're a cinch to make, and one of those DIYs that even the kids can help with!
