Rustic Farmhouse Thanksgiving Tablescape

Last Thanksgiving, the kids and I unexpectedly flew to my parent’s home in New Orleans after all our local schools were shut down as a result of the Camp Fire. It was such a tragic event for our community, but a little silver lining was that I got to spend Thanksgiving with family for the first time in a long time! It was nothing short of a miracle that we were able to find reasonably priced tickets around Thanksgiving at such late notice. And really a blessing to be away from all the horrendous smoke.

My parents have recently converted a barn on their property into a little guest house.… Read the rest

I wanted to display some sparklers for you as well but they were hard to find in May! So I made do with what I could find: poppers from New Years, glow sticks, and twizzlers (which I think actually make a great edible addition to your fireworks station).… Read the rest

How to Make Shamrock Shakes

Minty and refreshing, and the perfect way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, in my humble opinion.

  • Add 1 cup milk to blender (love my vitamix!!)
  • Add 5-6 mint oreos to blender
  • Fill to top with mint ice cream and blend
  • Top with whipped cream and andes pieces

Voila! It doesn’t get much easier than that! You can also use thin mint cookies in place of mint oreos, and in place of mint Andes try lucky charms or green sprinkles.… Read the rest

Pin me baby!

What better way to celebrate a late February or early March birthday than a St Patrick’s Day Play Date?! Obvs. We try to stick to the “you can have a big party with all you friends every other year” guideline. And this little fella got one “out of this world” 4 year old bash (see his space party here). But all he kept saying he wanted for his birthday was to have his friends over.… Read the rest
