Pop-Colored Nutcracker Christmas



November 21, 2019

Grab a cup of hot cocoa or coffee and enjoy our home tour featuring the most joyous pop-color themed Nutcracker holiday decor. To say I was elated to be a part of this year’s Design Council 2019: Holiday Style Stars with Treetopia is a bit of an understatement! Christmas is not only my favorite holiday, but it’s also the birth month to my daughter, Hendrix. She is the color in our life, so it is only fitting we decorate and prep for her second birthday that’s fast approaching. Last year I specifically wanted to have her party be Berry Sweet (but not holiday-themed). This year, we changed gears and it is gun-ho Sugarplum fairyland!

This year Treetopia is hosting their 8th Secret Santa Giveaway where one winner AND their friend will each win 1 Treetopia tree of their choice! The giveaway runs from Nov 17-28, 2019. Be sure to enter HERE!

These gorgeous Treetopia Frozen Fir Flocked Artifical Christmas Trees were gifted to us and are the perfect showstoppers and canvases for our pop-color Nutcracker theme.

And, as if it couldn’t get any sweeter, Treetopia sent us the coordinating Winter White Artificial Christmas Wreath and Garland. I automatically knew I wanted to hang the garland over the chalkboard at the coffee/hot cocoa bar, and it is perfect!

These gorgeous shots are just the tip of the winter wonderland iceberg. Stay tuned for more details to be revealed in the upcoming birthday blog post.

In the meantime, be sure to check out the other creative Holiday Style Stars to see how they implemented other fun Treetopia products and accessories!

I am already scoping out the Treetopia website for other fun colored trees for future projects!

Boo Crew Party



November 7, 2019

This is the first year we went all out for Halloween! Our little babe is THAT inspiring! Ha! It was a spooktacular day full of family, fun, and fabulous treats! Be sure to check out the blog posts Bootiful Cocktail and Halloween Mummy Nummies to see details on two of the featured items from the party.

I must say, pink is the new black (for Halloween anyway). I loved combining all shades of pink to make the most adorable party theme! Little “boo” straws from Walmart, wrapping my wood letterboard in washi tape, homemade ghost banner, reusable ombre solo cups, and the perfect matching Izze sparkling juice cans were just a few ways to accomplish that!

I am the best Aunt ever, just saying! The boo crew was treated to all the sweets BEFORE our pizza party!

One of my favorite and most unique finds was this No Baked Cookie Dough. They have almost 10 flavors and this edible cookie dough is made fresh every day on location in each of our stores. They leave out the eggs and heat treat the flour to ensure that you can indulge in the cookie dough with absolutely no worries! And, indulge we did! I filled these cute cauldrons with crushed Oreos and topped them with the dough! My favorite touch were these shovel spoons I found on Amazon.

While the kids (all except these two crazies) pigged out on sweets, the adults indulged in the charcuterie board I put together. Be sure to check out the Halloween Mummy Nummies post for details of how to make the perfect charcuterie board, along with a handy shopping checklist.

Trick or treat. Give me something good to eat…and of course, it needs to be something sweet! The amazing custom cake and cookies were made by my local baker, Zoey of Two Fat Cookies. She always knocks my vision out of the park!

No good Halloween party is without something to take home! These spooktacular goodie bags were custom made for us by For Your Party. They have all the best party accessories!

Ok, boils and ghouls…close the coffin on this party…and until next year!

Bootiful Cocktail



November 6, 2019

I have always wanted to make a pretty cocktail (or mocktail) that went with the theme and decor of my party. Am I the only one? I can’t be! This bootiful & refreshing blackberry cocktail was exactly what I had in mind!

I have no clue where my muddler was, so here I am improvising with a wooden spoon handle…and it worked just fine!

Just 3 simple ingredients (5 if you count the ice & garnish)…

Halloween Mummy Nummies



November 6, 2019

Looking for a way to make your party amazing? Here’s a quick and simple idea! A charcuterie board! I recently hosted a spooktacular Halloween party for my daughter and her cousins and wanted a couple treats for the adults to nosh on before the pizza arrived. Check out the full Boo Crew Party blog post for all of the details.

I love adding a honeycomb on my charcuterie boards! It pairs perfectly with all cheese! I also add a pomegranate, some figs, berries, and nuts for color, texture and extra yummies!

And, who doesn’t love a little chocolate? I typically try to find some sweet aspects to add. I love sweet and savory!

Even the kiddos were dreaming about it and enjoyed some mummy nummies!
