Valentine’s Party Recap

February 13, 2016

This past week I hosted our small playgroup for Valentine’s Day. It was so much fun making the food and setting up the dessert table & photo booth for the kids. Needless to say all the sweets were the first to go and there were about 10 three year olds on one hell of a sugar high. I always say to people, “when in doubt, dip it in chocolate and add sprinkles” which is primarily what I focused on. The oreos, pretzel rods and wafers were store bought and then dipped in melted chocolate and topped with sprinkles. Depending on how many you make it can be very time consuming however it results in a festive holiday treat. I love that you can customize the chocolate and sprinkles for whatever holiday season. This was my first time making rice krispy treats and I don’t know why I always felt so intimated by home made ones (there are only three ingredients by the way).

After they set up I cut them out with a heart shaped cookie cutter and, you guessed it, drizzled chocolate and sprinkles on top. There couldn’t be all these yummy sweets without something for the kids to wash them down with so I went with whole milk in miniature milk bottles with a sprinkle rim and donut on top (by far my favorite on the dessert table). This was such an easy and fun party to host and my love for hearts, red and pink made it that more enjoyable. The kids loved the photo props and by the end of the party the big red heart balloon was being used as a huge medicine ball by all the boys. I would say this party was a success, even with a sugar coma that lasted two days 🙂

Happy almost Valentine’s Day, friends!

Weekend Wrap Up

May 27, 2013

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day! Yay for 3 day weekends. Ours was definitely packed full of fun. The past few days was filled with cookouts, pool time, walks, play dates and a first birthday party. With as much excitement as Henry has had you’d think he’d be worn out and napping, but no. His naps have been so off this weekend. Very unlike my 3 times-a-day napper. I am hoping to return to our normal nap time schedule. This week/weekend is going to be very busy as well; including my first Cross Fit class. IAMSONERVOUS!! I’ll keep you posted on how that turns out …

Mother’s Day/Last Week Follow Up

May 15, 2013

This past week has been very eventful … play dates, lunch dates, having family come to visit, a graduation party and of course (my very first) Mother’s Day. This weekend was very special and the hubby made sure to make me feel appreciated. Delicious homemade breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning, flowers both days and cards. The hubby made an amazing banana’s foster french toast from this recipe and I was blown away. My favorite thing though? Not having to change diapers on Sunday (it’s the little things). I am very grateful that my little family chose me as their mama/wife. How lucky I am to call them mine! Mother’s Day was also Henry’s first time in a pool and he loved it. He loves bath time and is fascinated by water. He could have stayed in that pool all day (it was heated too). Here is a little recap of our past week, enjoy!
