Perfect Peanut Butter S’mores Snack Mix
This post is sponsored by Feeding America and Scholastic. The ideas and opinions are all our own. Our kitchens seem to have revolving doors on them during the summer. It’s a never ending flow of hungry kids grabbing handfuls of goldfish crackers, unwrapping sticky granola bars and dripping popsicle trails across the floor. They never…
Dirty Coke Cupcakes
Have you been introduced to a “Dirty Coke” yet? Coke with coconut flavoring and a splash of lime mixed together for a glass of perfection. It’s really quite delightful, but we have kicked it up a notch and turned the whole thing into a cupcake! If you aren’t drooling yet, just keep reading. Coke flavored…
Cookies and Cream Muddy Buddies
This summer has been one big pig fest! Danetta’s been busy building a house and having company, meaning her family is eating out a lot. Amber’s been traveling a bunch, which means her family has been eating way too many treats because when you’re on vacation, why not? So when we got together to make…
Cute Puppy Dog Cupcakes for Kid’s Birthdays
My freckle faced, squishy cheeked baby turned 6 last week, in spite of me insisting he stop growing up. Time is slipping through my fingers and there doesn’t seem to be anything I can do to slow it down. Sometimes it’s hard to make time to enjoy the little moments with him because his older…
Cherry Coke Cupcakes
This combines my (Danetta talking here) two favorite loves in life…cupcakes and Coke! Is there anything better in life than a cherry Coke, expect maybe a cherry Diet Coke! 😉 These Cherry Coke Cupcakes were so fun to make and turned out so adorable. They are almost too cute to eat…almost! They have a delicious…
Easy Birthday Gift Idea-Candy Bouquet in a Mug
Have you missed us? (What? Don’t tell us you didn’t notice we were gone!) We have been busy swimming, playing, hiking, vacationing, reading and just overall enjoying summer. We decided to take a few weeks off partly so we could enjoy summer and partly because in all honesty it’s HARD to keep the blog running…
Bridal Shower Gift Idea-Recipe for a Happy Marriage
It’s been a while since we’ve been in the wedding scene-I guess we’re getting old, because by now it’s no longer our friends getting married but we’re getting close to our friends kids getting married. What?! So we’ve had a few bridal showers to attend lately and it’s fun thinking up cute gifts to give….
Here’s the Scoop Ice Cream Gift Idea
A couple of weeks ago we went for a walk in the evening together-probably walked a few miles, burned a few hundred calories, talked enough to solve all the world’s problems. We love to walk together for exercise and because it’s nice to have time to talk. But you know what’s NOT good after you…
Movie Night Gift Idea
A dark, cool theater, the buttery smell of popcorn, passing around the candy and watching a great show on the big screen. Sound like fun to you? We thought so too, so when we had two of our friends, who happen to be sisters, have birthdays within about a week of each other, we thought…
Donut Bouquet Gift Idea
Mmmmmm….did you hear that? We just said Donuts. In a bouquet. Makes us hungry just thinking about it right now. We kind of feel like a donut bouquet is the perfect gift for any occasion! Got a birthday? Donut Bouquet. Graduation? Donut Bouquet. Just want to make someone’s day? You got it! How about a…
Hawaiian Luau Party Ideas
Every year Amber and her hubby throw a fun couples’ party full of food, games, friends and fun. (Well to tell you the full truth, we play a speed version of the kid’s game, Cootie. Sounds crazy, but it’s insanely fun!) And each year this party has a fun theme. We’ve done Superheroes and Star…

Chocolate DIY Graduation Lei
Yes-did you read that title? Chocolate. Made into a lei. For graduation. Just straight up smart right? The graduate is the one that’s supposed to be smart because they are graduating, but you’ll be the one who looks smart because you thought to make a chocolate lei. And out of Lindt truffles no less. People,…
Purple Gift Idea
We’ve told you before that our heads explode with ideas when we walk into Target. Gift ideas just start flowing and this one was a doozy! We walked through Target looking for all things purple and there were so many fun ideas! So what could we do but put together a cute purple gift for…
Wedding Gift Idea-Cook Up Some Love
We recently had a mutual friend get married and wanted to go in together on a gift for her. We’ll tell you right now that we can walk through Target together and literally have our minds explode with gift ideas, so it was a little bit tricky to figure out what to choose, but we…
Knock Your Socks Off Gift Idea
I (Amber) married a science geek, and I say that with all the love in my heart. He’s a full blown, science nerd, chemistry professor who kills kids’ dreams of going to medical school. (You should thank him really-he’s weeding out the ones we don’t want to have be our doctors anyway.) So sometimes he…
Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese’s Cazookie
Do you have one treat that is your ABSOLUTE favorite? Something that you could eat and eat and eat and never get tired of? The treat you would choose to eat on your birthday? (OK, let’s be honest, we could name about 15 of these, but…) With it being Amber’s birthday week, we’ve GOT to…

Bright & Colorful Gift Idea
It’s a dreary time of year (at least where we live) and sometimes it bums us out. What bums us out even more is when a friend is struggling with one of life’s challenges and we feel like we can’t fix her problems. Sometimes we just want to do something to brighten someone’s day, so we’ve…
