New Year’s Eve celebrations are just days away…but you can still party in grand style with an easy charcuterie that will be certain to impress! Charcuterie boards are one of my favorite appetizers because they’re super simple to put together even for a last-minute party! While a “true” charcuterie would mean a platter full of meats…the definition to many has gradually changed to a “grazing board”. This means you can now add just about ANYTHING you want to your edible display! New Year’s Eve is a perfect opportunity to create this beautiful array of goodies to serve to friends and family. Pull together all the leftover treats from Christmas and serve them right on the tabletop…no special trays or platters needed! I’m really excited to partner with Fun to Eat Fruit to bring you some inspiration for sipping and nibbling the night away! I promise it’s easy and simple but will look every bit as festive as the holiday itself! The year is coming to an end and I’ll wrap it up with my favorite phrase…celebrate simple and celebrate often!

Christmas cookie decorating is such an anticipated tradition for so many holiday lovers! I always look forward to baking days and often have several cookie decorating dates with family AND friends! It’s easy to make cookies ahead, freeze them, and have them ready when you want to make Christmas memories! I know my boys have enjoyed this tradition over the years so I was so excited to partner with Party Mazing and Grand Rapids Popcorn to bring you some inspiration for hosting a cookie decorating party designed for the kiddos! Even luckier for me…having friends who’s littler tots could partake in the fun! So let’s get right to it today and share in the sweet festivities!
Christmas gift ideas can be hard to come by! Fortunately, most kiddos have plenty on their wish lists…toys, games, electronics! But sometimes finding the perfect gift for friends and adult family members can seem difficult! Even coming up with hostess gift ideas can be overwhelming especially when we need several to take to holiday celebrations. So today I’d like to share some of my favorite goodies that might make great gifts for those on your list. With so many people trying to de-clutter and simplify their homes and lives, thoughtful gifts that are on the useful side are always a nice choice. But I promise, just because they’re sort of practical, they’re no less fun & festive! And while there’s so many more goodies out there that I’d love to feature…these are some of my top favorites and I’ll share where you can get them! Get ready to check some Christmas gifts off your list!
December is upon us…why not celebrate with a Christmas eggnog bar? A little twist on the cocoa bar, eggnog is another traditional sip that’s perfect for the holiday! My family loves eggnog…and you can serve up family-friendly or spiked version to suit everyone’s tastes! The wonderful thing about eggnog is that you can easily find both varieties in the stores now so there’s no stovetop cooking unless you want to! (and the easier the better in my book!) I recently took the opportunity to share some holiday sips in the back of our old truck before we store it away for the winter. But you don’t have to have a tailgate to serve up this cheerful drink…any table will do! And if you have an outdoor space, try bundling up and toasting the season outside…it’s a fun way to ring in December! Let me share some ideas & inspiration with you!
Last-minute Thanksgiving treats are the most perfect…especially when it’s actually last-minute! But all kidding aside, even though there’s still time to bake up some holiday goodies, you don’t need to. The treats I’m sharing today are SO easy you could literally make them on Thanksgiving Day with time leftover! And not only are they delicious as is, they could also double duty as cupcake toppers or embellish a pie! They’re easy enough for kiddos to create and are definitely fun for the whole family to eat! I’m even sharing a grownup surprise…treats aren’t just for the kids right? So let’s get in the kitchen for some holiday fun!
