Smencils

Introducing the latest rage in our elementary school....SMENCILS! Smencils are gourmet scented pencils that are made from 100% recycled newspaper & biodegradable plastic.


They come in 10 different flavors (watermelon & black cherry is a household fav)



They also have colored pencils


& home kits which you can flavor yourself (great party craft)


This is a BIG deal at our school & the kids are slightly obsessed with them! It is a great fundraiser item too! Find all the information here.

Lego Ice Cube Tray

Regarding my earlier post this morning, I completely agree the tutorial for the Lego soap mold was a little intimidating! But LOOK what I found on Amazon! Not only can you make you make your own Lego soap, you can make gummy Legos, jello Legos, chocolate Legos, lollipop Legos, crayon Legos-anything Lego you can imagine!

Sweet Olympic Love

BOTH my boys have a serious crush on U.S. skier Lindsey Vonn & have been really into watching the Winter Olympics. I thought it would be fun to make some Olympic inspired treats this weekend...


like these yummies from Coco Cupcakes


with the bronze medal going to Cakespy for these



the silver medal to The Decorated Cookie

& the gold medal to Sweetopia for their adorable Olympic mascot cookies


don't forget this medal winner from The Kitchen


& this Olympic dessert pizza from Taste of Home


Who are you watching in the Olympics?

Melissa from ISLY created this adorable pom pom & circle garland for her daughter's nursery

How cute would this garland be for your Easter celebration? Instead of cut out circles, you could add bunnies, flowers, chicks, eggs.....the possibilities are endless!

And they call it Puppy Love

My girlfriend is throwing a puppy party for her daughter's birthday next month & asked me if I had any ideas for centerpieces.......


I found these cute puppy baskets from Flowers by Frannie. We are using white carnations & red gerbera daisies but real, not artificial.

I think they are so adorable & make such a fun centerpiece idea! What do you think?

Sweet Bunco Love

In our neighborhood, a few of the girls get together once a month to hang out, have a few cocktails, & play Bunco. Thursday night was my turn to host & we had a Pajama Party at my house! We ordered pizza, wore our cutest pj's, & had a great time! Of course, you can't have a PJ party without sweet treats...


like kettle corn, m & m's, & red licorice


red & pink starburst


& heart dice favor boxes (it is Bunco after all)


the whole sweet spread


we needed something to wash it all down




like these yummy pomegranate margaritas


figured we needed something healthy, so I made chocolate covered strawberries (hey, it's a fruit, it counts right?)


with the left over chocolate, I made yummy pretzels


& these fortune cookies (inside each cookie I placed a number in which the girls had to open to determine their order in the gift exchange)


we also had a "prize" for the cutest jammies



prize was the movie, "13 Going on 30"


& here was my gift for the beauty product exchange
