I don’t know if you’ve seen all the ice cream bread being made on TikTok but there’s a reason this is a TikTok viral recipe – it’s a super versatile recipe and a super yummy sweet treat! This particular funfetti ice cream bread combines just regular vanilla ice cream (although you could substitute with something else), self-rising flour, and sprinkles for a great bread for parties, birthdays, and more! Plus that icing on top is amazing!...
This post has been sponsored by Kleenex®, Horizon Organic, and NABISCO. All thoughts and opinions are my own. There’s one thing I didn’t anticipate when my son started kindergarten last year: how much work it would be to make his lunch every day. Especially since I wrote him a little note every day the first week of school, and he expected something special in his lunchbox every day after! Now I’ve been challenged to come up with some creative surprises to keep him on his toes....
I was just talking the other day about how my son doesn’t like chocolate, so we make a lot of sugar cookies. Well, sugar cookies or lately sugar cookie bites. My kids are kind of addicted to those. This is my go-to recipe when I want to make cut out sugar cookies for the kids to use to cut out cookies then decorate. We made these cookies with my youngest for the first time ever the other day, and it was hilarious to see him try and decorate the cookies without taking the lids off the sprinkles....

This post was originally sponsored by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas but has since been updated. There seems to be a theme to the gift guides I’m making this year. They’re all gifts that match my interests. Gifts for entertainers. Cricut gift ideas. Personalized gifts. And today’s gift guide – gifts for bakers – continues with that trend! Baking is one of my favorite things to do and yes, I would love all of these gifts!...
Every year during teacher appreciation week (typically the first week in May) my son’s school puts together a week full of awesome activities and treats for the teachers to show our appreciation. Parents volunteer to put things together, donate items (or money), and the teachers get to feel appreciated for at least a week. And hello, teachers deserve the world, especially after the past year. My son’s teacher is phenomenal and I’d donate all sorts of time and money to make sure he knows how much he appreciate him and his assistant!...
The Best Christmas Party Themes I love Christmas and all of the fun Christmas parties we get to attend! It’s always fun to see other’s Christmas decor and Christmas cookies while catching up with family and friends over the holidays. We’ve been to our fair share of ugly Christmas sweater parties and gingerbread house making parties. And while those, and gift exchange games, are classics and always a blast, I wanted to think of some new Christmas party themes this year....
I’m kind of a sucker for a good caramel apple. You know the kind – caramel, chocolate, and lots of delicious caramel apple toppings. I even made a caramel apple nacho bar once. But dipping caramel apples is such a pain. I can’t ever get the caramel to stick properly, especially not once you add the chocolate layer on top. There’s definitely an art to making your own caramel apples....
Everyone always talks about doing holiday cookie trays full of yummy things like Christmas tree brownies, chewy molasses cookies, and maybe even a cherry cheesecake cookie. The thing people don’t talk about that often is holiday desserts. They don’t get nearly the love that homemade apple pie and no bake pumpkin pie get during Thanksgiving. This red velvet cake deserves all the love, especially when topped with sugared cranberries. It’s beautiful, delicious, and surprisingly easy to make!...

If you make a purchase via these links, I may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. I’m a sucker for a good s’more, especially the classic version that’s just graham crackers, a chocolate bar, and a toasted marshmallow....
I can’t believe Halloween is right around the corner. I’m not a huge fan of costumes (except these DIY superhero costumes I made for my boys) but do love Halloween parties, so I’m excited to share this fun Halloween backdrop that I made a few years ago and recreate almost every year because it’s so easy! It only takes a few minutes to make, leaving you plenty of time to play Halloween games like this trick or treat game instead!...
With Hocus Pocus 2 coming out in a few weeks, I thought it would be fun to share some Hocus Pocus themed recipes like these spell book brownies! I’ll be sharing some more ideas soon but figured these Hocus Pocus spell book brownies was a good enough place to start as any! I still can’t believe they’re making a new Hocus Pocus movie honestly – it’s like they’re bringing back all of the classics....
I remember when I was growing up my mom would always make us “blueberry muffins” aka Jif blueberry muffins with fake blueberry bites in them. I’d cut them in half, lather them with butter, and enjoy them every time she made them. I didn’t realize that those aren’t really blueberry muffins. I actually don’t know what they are, but not blueberry muffins. This lemon blueberry muffin recipe is a fun take on a classic blueberry muffin recipe with just a hint of added citrus flavor to brighten up the muffin....
With pumpkin season in full swing, I thought it was about time to share these yummy no bake pumpkin cheesecake balls that we’ve been enjoying with all fall long! They’re a great way to use leftover canned pumpkin since the recipe only uses a 1/3 of a cup of pumpkin puree. Make them along with these pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, these spice cake mix pumpkin cupcakes, and this pumpkin pie dip for a dessert tray loaded with pumpkin treats!...
With Shark Week on Discovery Channel just around the corner, this week I’m sharing all sorts of fun shark and beach themed content. I shared a shark attack drink yesterday (a copycat of one of my favorite Universal Studios drinks), this beach themed cake (with sharks of course) last week, and these ocean blue popsicles earlier, that all make fun festive snacks for Shark Week! And make sure to come back tomorrow for a fun beach themed activity for the kids!...

I can’t believe the summer months are almost behind us! With just a few weeks left before school starts up again, I’ve been trying to squeeze in as many fun summer activities and items on our summer bucket list as possible! This week we played some water games and did this summer scavenger hunt. Next week it’s a camp themed week with this camping scavenger hunt and these camping games!...
Winter Scavenger for Kids We’re a bit obsessed with scavenger hunts in my family. We’ve done everything from a Disney scavenger hunt to a Christmas lights hunt! Now that I have two boys in school, I’m always looking for fun things we can do together when they’re home with me. Also, things that they can do together! The reason I love this winter scavenger hunt so much is that it’s something that all ages can enjoy from preschool all the way up to adults (make it a virtual scavenger hunt!...
My boys are always looking for new games to play. We regularly play these board games for kids but sometimes they want something a little more seasonal or unique to play just once or twice. And when you’re just playing with a few people, it doesn’t make sense to break out an entire Christmas bingo game or even these Christmas minute to win it games. Last year I made this fun go caroling Christmas match game just as a quick game for us to play as one of our daily Christmas activities....
One the questions I get asked the most is how do I make a party menu? So I’ve put together my tips for creating the ultimate party menu, no matter what the occasion. I’ve used these for planning a 50th birthday party, a bohemian bridal shower, a Halloween carnival, and more! The one thing that is missing in this post are actual recipes! If you need those, these are my top party foods ever....
