Is there anything more fun than a breakfast or brunch charcuterie board??? Perhaps a board that is geared towards kids and loaded up with their favorites? Piled with all kinds of fruit, mini cereal bowls and milk shooters, cherry Poptarts (my kids' fave, made even more amazing in their eyes by …
mini Valentine’s Day treat boxes
Last week we shared the Valentine's Day Treat Boxes that we are taking to our preschool and elementary teachers this year. Since the input of middle school teachers to our holiday-gift-planning, we modified the treat box a little to accommodate both more teachers and Burke's carrying-space and came …
valentine’s day dessert charcuterie board (and a list of treat ideas)
We've had an early start to the Valentine's Day celebrations around here (and still have a Gal-entine's party AND a special Valentine's dinner with the nieces on the docket!). Since we're on a themed charcuterie board kick (and have an extra affection for dessert themed grazing boards), this set up …
DIY valentine’s day treat boxes

We love doing it up for Easter around here- it's my favorite holiday to make a big deal out of. (Which, admittedly, is a little trickier in the new Covid-changed-everything world). And also, I love grazing platters (or grazing boards, or treat platters). AND I have this fantastic (and …
frozen themed party platter
The best (BEST!) thing about the grazing board trend is that you can customize a party platter to virtually any theme. They're perfect for brunch or dessert, they can be tailored to a special holiday, and they're equally suited to matching a party palette (like this sunrise-themed grazing board) or …
The best DIY Harry Potter Christmas ornaments
Last year's Harry Potter Christmas tree is back up and the kids are in round 2 of Harry Potter ornament crafting (ok, me too! Definitely me too!). I know there probably isn't time to work on any Harry Potter ornaments this year, but I thought I'd still put together a round up of all the ornaments …
