Fall Cookies

Yikes! October is a couple days away, I can't seem to wind down the summer vibes and think about fall. Because you know what happens soon after? Brrrrrr...But after making these cookies and feeling the chill in the air (notice I didn't say anything about being cold) I'm kind of excited. Kind of.

Pool Party!

Here it is the end of June and no pool in sight. But I didn't let that stop me from creating an indoor pool party. I've had one before, but this time it started indoors and ended up outside. With so many pools closed, it's time to get creative, right?

Let's Flamingle!

Well people, I'm still entertaining my family! Yes, my days are filled with finding party decor to go with my next theme. It's part of my work out, lifting storage bins from the large stack to another and going through them one by one. Fortunately they are clear and I can mostly see what's inside. But it is true excitement finding things I had completely forgotten about.

It's a Fiesta!

It's a Fiesta! Because this Señorita was ready to host another party for her family, a fiesta was the first idea that popped into my mind. Immediately I started going through my party supplies and found I had everything I needed. Actually, I had more than I needed!

Movie Night!

Hi everyone, how are you? It's been awhile since I've posted anything, I really wanted to, but didn't know if it would be appropriate. So I typed and deleted, typed and deleted. Today I decided I would finish typing and actually publish.

I'm such a planner and right now not many party plans are being made, so I decided to make the best of the situation we're all in. Instead of just having a "movie night" for my family, I decided to have Apple Nacho  "MOVIE NIGHT" for my family and thought I would share.

Valentine Cookies!

Here's a little FYI...with Valentines day quickly approaching, don't listen if someone tells you they don't want or need anything, it's not true.  No one really needs anything, but they do want to know they are loved.  My husband would probably feel the love if I cooked a nice dinner, which I totally could, but we both know if we want a delicious Valentine's dinner we're going out. So what are you doing this Valentine Day? 

I decided to do what I do best, make cookies!  Valentine cookies for teachers.

No need to wait around for the perfect Valentine to make you happy.  You can make your own happiness.  And your own cookies!

Buffalo Plaid Christmas Wrap.

I was having so much fun with the red and black buffalo plaid, I decided to incorporate it into my gift giving. I really loved the way they turned out and it took no time at all.
Just Kidding!

Woodland Christmas Cake!

I know you're probably thinking, the cake would be red and black check inside, truly that was the plan.  But I was really wanting a chocolate cake.  Like for me.  Because after the dinner, I knew there would be leftovers and I would be the one to eat them.  Day by day, slice by slice.  And I wanted chocolate.  Then I found a beautiful cake online I wanted to recreate.

Buffalo Plaid Christmas!

Filling my center island with dessert and appetizers is always a given.  This year decorating with Buffalo Plaid was so much fun.  I started by gathering all the black display pieces I could find.  Which I found I didn't have a lot.  So I had to be creative.  By adding wrapping paper to frames, some of the décor was created.
