I am SO beyond excited to share today's post with you today! It combines three of my most favorite things all in one- a good party, Downton Abbey, and World Market! I wanted my tea party to be as authentic as possible, and my guests were amazing to dress up, which added to the feeling that we were really having a full English tea. I bought most of the dishes, serving trays, silverware, and food from World Market. They have an amazing selection of gourmet food from around ... [ Read More ]
DIY Anthropologie-Inspired Snow Globes
Last year I posted a Christmas project tutorial that was very popular. It was inspired by an Anthropologie version of a snow globe that was pretty, but was soooo overpriced.

You can use them display them in a bowl, as a vase filler, or ... [ Read More ]
Monsters University Cakes in a Jar
I made these Monsters University Cakes in a Jar as part of a sponsored post for Collective Bias ®. #ScareEdu By now, I'm sure you know of my love for all things Disney! Disney's Monster's University came out on DVD + Blu-ray this past week, so we kicked back this weekend and had a fun movie night with the kids and watched it. I also made some fun treats for our Disney movie night... colorful mini cakes that match Mike and Sully's colors that I baked inside baby food jars! I just love ... [ Read More ]
