It’s the most wonderful time of the year… when we leave family gatherings with an extra serving of dessert to eat later and bake homemade goodies to give to our favorite neighbors and friends! I was able to use my Cricut Explore Air 2 to create Personalized Holiday Treat Boxes to give an extra touch of love!

Thankfully the Explore Air 2 can cut many different materials and has the capability of cutting twice as face with the Fast Mode feature! Creating multiples of projects now just became even easier!!

The holiday season is upon us and with it comes the stress of gift giving. I always like to give a thoughtful personal gift if I can. As I was brainstorming a gift for Lara’s birthday in October, I came up with the PERFECT gift but ran out of time to make it. So Lara… don’t read any further!! (Or at least act surprised when you open your present!) I decided to make a Diet Soda Best Friends Gift for her for Christmas! I made us matching tees with a nod to our favorite drink of choice! And yes, we’re totally nerdy enough to wear these out and about! I love how my Cricut Explore Air 2 always makes it possible to create a personalized gift and it doesn’t always need to have names or initials on it! And with it’s bluetooth technology and offline mode, I feel like I can create anywhere and anytime!

Although this post is a tutorial for the tee, I couldn’t just stop there. Cricut just makes personalizing gifts so easy and fun! I put together a whole gift set with a custom coaster and tote bag, a bottle of our fav, coconut syrup and a couple reusable straws!

Halloweentime at Disneyland Resort is an amazing and festive time of year to visit!! The decorations are wonderfully spooky and the treats are not only adorable but delicious as well. This year, the Disneyland Resort moved it’s annual Halloween special ticketed event from Disneyland Park to Disney California Adventure and renamed it Oogie Boogie Bash. (We posted about Mickey’s Halloween Party a few years back.) My family and I were able to attend this year and I’m excited to share all of the fun we were able to experience at the Bash as well as Halloweentime at the Resort in general.

It’s candy corn season! I know that candy corn is a very polarizing candy. You either love it or hate it. I personally love it and it makes me like it’s fall when I eat it; even if it’s one hundred degrees outside. So candy corn lovers, make these Rice Krispie treats and settle into fall!

Lion King Inspired Snack Charcuterie Board

I’m loving this whole charcuterie board trend that’s happening. If you are saying charcut-a-what, don’t worry I’m new to this too! A charcuterie board is usually made with meats and cheeses and it is displayed beautifully thrown together on a board. It’s an informal way to eat a meal or a snack. Guests can grab what they want. I love it for many reasons: easy prep, minimal dishes and it looks cool. Since the brand new Lion King starts today I thought a Lion King inspired charcuterie board would be fun. You can throw this together for a party or for your family on a movie night. You can make one for any theme or movie.

Toy Story 4 Forky Treats

Have you had the chance to see Toy Story 4 yet? If you haven’t I highly recommend you do. It’s a great and also, gut wrenching end to the series. If it’s really the end. There’s a new character in the movie that we are now obsessed with named Forky. He’s made out of trash by Bonnie. He has lopsided eyes that fall down and crazy pipe cleaner arms, so the imperfectness of this treat works well for him.

Stranger Things Ice Cream Sandwich Bar

Stranger Things season 3 will be out this July 4th and I’m super excited to binge watch it. Scoops Ahoy is the name of the ice cream shop at the Starcourt Mall in Hawkins. I decided it would be fun to have a Stranger Things ice cream sandwich bar to celebrate the new season. Baskin Robbins inspired this set up with their Stranger Things ice cream and merchandise. I’m always down for an excuse to invite friends over and have a party!

It’s no secret that we are huge Stranger Things fans. My eleven year old daughter recently celebrate her eleventh birthday with a Stranger Things party. With Valentine’s Day approaching we thought some Stranger Things Valentines would be fun to help celebrate the holiday.

Eggo waffles are a huge part of the show so we did waffle themed Valentines.

1950’s Christmas Cookie Decorating Party

I adore all things Christmas! My very favorite Christmas movie of all time is “White Christmas!” I’m pretty sure I could watch that on a loop and never get tired of it! In fact, that movie was on in the hospital room while my mom was in labor with me! (Any other Christmas babies out there?? December 23rd here!) So you could say my love of “White Christmas” started at birth. With that being said, the time era of that movie was my inspiration for this party. I love how I was able to find such fun decorations at Oriental Trading, even using some for a different purpose than intended.

Doesn’t the glow of that Christmas tree have you ready to put up all of your Christmas decorations? Red and blue might be my new favorite holiday color combination!
