We started at @childrensmuseumatlanta and then headed over to @skyviewatl! Then we had dinner at @johnnyrockets and spent the night. Then, we woke up early and headed over to the @georgiaaquarium for the day.

It was SO much fun. I highly recommend doing a staycation in your own city. I've lived here 30 years and always find something fun to do. 

Happy birthday to my big 2-year-old! 💙

This is the easiest idea for a fun summer party! 🦀 I took these crabby chicken croissants to our margaritaville themed party last week. I also made them for a mermaid-themed party a few years ago!

To make these:
-slice mini croissants down the middle but leave the back connected.
-fill with chicken salad.
-attach a toothpick to the back of edible eyeballs with cookie icing and allow it to dry.
-insert the toothpicks into the croissants to create eyes!

Save this for later when you need a dish or appetizer to bring to summer parties!

It's also the perfect dish to make if your kitchen is under construction like mine was for this video. It's a cold dish so nothing to heat up. 

First, mix together two cans of drained whole-kernel corn, two cups of mexican blend cheese, one cup of light mayo, diced red pepper, pepper and a bit of cilantro in a bowl. Then, add crushed Chili Cheese Fritos and mix well. Serve and enjoy!

This is my favorite way to make a regular drink feel fancy! Sprinkle a little edible glitter in a silicone mold and fill with water and freeze. When it melts, your drink will be cute and sparkly.

My drink today is two ounces of bourbon, one ounce of peach syrup, lemon juice and club soda! Stir and watch it sparkle.

First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

DIY Easter Decor

Easter is coming! So I found these super expensive Easter trees which were cute but it just seemed crazy to spend that much money on Easter trees. So I decided to make my own.

My family always plans an Easter lunch after church and these would be just perfect for our party. I am currently using them on my dining room table, but I will absolutely take them to help host our guests. I’m so excited for this year’s lunch because my brother is home from Afghanistan, and I want everything to be perfect.

Here is how I created them: first, I went to Michael’s! I purchased three small topiary trees on sale.

Then I bought an assortment of pink, blue, yellow, and white flowers. I also bought some fun Easter accessories like eggs and pipe cleaner chicks.

Then I made it really simple. Using hot glue, I placed three eggs in various colors on the base of the tree. I placed a circle of hot glue on the egg and pressed onto the base for 10 seconds to secure the hold.

Then I cut off the buds of the flower stems, and hot glued them sporadically on all of the trees. I also added a pipe cleaner chick and three different colors of mini eggs for a fun Easter touch.

I made sure to cover the trees completely and evenly. Finally, I wrapped a fun Easter ribbon (I used a thick blue ribbon) and hot glued it all around the base. Then I created a cute bow and glued it on top of the ribbon.

I’m so pleased with how they turned out and so excited to display them for Easter. I think you could also do something besides eggs and little fuzzy chickens for spring decor.

What do you think of my Easter trees? What do you and your family do for Easter?
