He's 8 already!! He's had this theme picked out since his last birthday party and while Pikachu is pretty adorable, I was a little stuck at first on how I should execute this party. Of course I took to Pinterest and found a bunch of super cute ideas for desserts and some decor but I didn't want to just have the character(s) everywhere. I'm not big on character parties, but there are ways to do them without having the characte...

 You know what I love about celebrating holidays? All the fun (and yummy) DIY's and treat possibilities are basically endless! Like this Peeps cotton candy milkshake I make the kids every year around Easter! We started making this about 2 years ago, but I have never shared it. It's super easy and the kids absolutely love it! 

So I'll get right to the recipe. You only need...

Vanilla ice cream

Cotton candy

Milk

Peeps Marshmallo...

We all know Easter 2020 will be different with the stay home rule in effect due to COVID-19 but who said we can't still celebrate and be festive?! If you know me, then you know I'm all about festive celebrations! So one thing that I find fun is putting together coordinating Easter outfits for my kiddos. I look forward to doing this around this time each year, but since we will be staying home this year, I decided to be festive...

Hearts, stars, and horseshoes, clovers, and blue moons! Unicorns and rainbows, and tasty red ballooons! You totally sang that right?! How could you not??

How fun is the Lucky Charms cereal milkshake?! It's the perfect treat for St. Patrick's Day or any day! And it's super easy to make too, doesn't get better than that! This shake is as festive as it is yummy, and tastes just like the cereal but an ice cream version of the cerea...

 It's no secret that this time of year is a popular time for pies! Out of all the delicious desserts that are around this season, sweet potato and apple pies are my all time fave (with sweet potato taking the lead)! So it's always fun to actually put a spin on a traditional Thanksgiving dessert...in steps pie pops!

So easy, so fun, and so festive!

These little tasty treats are perfect for on the go! They'd be great to take to F...

 'Tis the season! Am I right?! This hot chocolate is the perfect crowd pleaser! It's great for all the parties you may have coming up...Friendsgiving, Thanksgiving, Christmas or other holiday parties! This is a busy, and in some places, a cold season, so warm it up a bit by making this delicious hot chocolate! It's perfect because it makes a large batch which makes it suitable for a gathering. Or if your family just loves hot...

13!!! I feel like I just blogged about her 12th birthday party and here I am already blogging her 13th! I wish someone could seriously answer the "Where does the time go?" question. So I'm pretty sure it was the day after her 12th birthday party when she she asked me if she could have her 13th birthday at a hotel. My first reaction was "Absolutely not!" We literally just celebrated her 12th, I definitely did not want to talk...

This time of year is my favorite for baking and making all the festive treats! There are SO many cute and fun things you can bake and create with  your kiddos! I get so inspired by all types of things I see online and in the craft stores, my mind kind of goes crazy, haha! We will be making and baking all the things from now until Christmas and I'm so excited to share with you so you can make some fun memories with your familie...

A little slow on getting Lenox's "blue donut birthday" party posted here but I think I was a little slow on getting this party planned as well! Maybe I was in denial over my baby turning 3, I don't know, but this party didn't get a start until a couple months beforehand. The theme changed a couple times...went from super early thoughts of doing a lumberjack type theme (because I lover buffalo plaid), then went to Party Animal...

I have to start off by saying that Fall is my absolute favorite season! Like I live for Fall! And a funny fact is that even though I was not born in the Fall, my parents were going to name me Autumn, how fitting would that have been?! (Just in case you're wondering how they settled on Kara, my grandmother's name was Caroline and it's a play off of her name.)

So, back to what I was saying about Fall, it's my fave, and I love eve...
