Cider and doughnuts go hand-in-hand during autumn if you ask me!  Especially those delicious apple cider and cinnamon sugar pastries that seem to be calling for tummies to rumble everywhere!  One of my most anticipated activities is visiting the apple orchard to grab up some sweet cider and goodies from the bakery!  It’s something that makes fall so special to me!  And since my family eats a fair share of autumn inspired doughnuts, I thought I’d create a DIY serving stand so I could dish out one of our favorite sweets throughout the season and beyond!  So let me share this simple craft project with you along with a fun way to serve up…

Baseball season seems like it rarely ends around our house!  Both boys played ball in school and my youngest is still in the midst of the summer season and often plays much of the year ’round in some form.  AND in our neck of the woods we have our very own hometown team the Toledo Mud Hens to cheer on!  So needles to say, baseball has been welcome in our home for years!  One of the great things about baseball (or sports in general) is that you never outgrow the fun!  Everyone from players to fans can get in on the excitement and can enjoy a good baseball-themed snack or two!  Today I want to share a super easy snack table that would be perfect for pre-game fun, a birthday party, or just a TV game night with friends.  And if you have a player in your family or know one nearby, you’ll already have all the decorations you need!  Let’s get ready to munch, crunch and cheer our favorite team on to the win!  I promise this easy snack table won’t strike out!
