Pink Party Punch that Packs a Punch!
This Pink Party Punch has been a staple at many of the parties I’ve thrown over the years. It’s simple to make and packs a punch (pardon the pun)! I’ve made this party punch for baby showers, bridal showers, summertime BBQ’s, family gatherings, birthdays, and more. It goes well with any occasion and is a great summertime poolside drink!

Here I made the pink party punch for a PIE-oneer Day Party I hosted for a Utah state holiday.

Summertime or Anytime Punch
Everyone that’s had this pink party punch at any of my gatherings has asked for the recipe so I am finally getting around to sharing it. It’s very easy to make and you can substitute a variety of things depending on what you have on hand or can buy at the store. I will share some of the variations in my helpful hints below. Use this recipe anytime of the year or for any gathering you have.

Anthropologie-Inspired Outdoor Dinner Party
I’ve been so excited to share this Anthropologie-Inspired Outdoor Dinner Party tablescape and how it all came about! A few weeks back, I traveled to Phoenix to meet up with two lovely ladies who I met on Instagram. They are both entertaining bloggers and we all love dishes and the art of entertaining.

First I met the adorable Holliday “Holly” Johnson @homewithholliday. Our names are so similar as are the names of our blogs and Instagram accounts. We hit it off right away and became fast friends!

Then I met the lovely Lory Parson @tohave+tohost, who also loves to host and entertain. Before long the three of us were chatting away on conference calls and helping and supporting one another. We decided a retreat was in order so we made plans to meet up in Lory’s hometown of Phoenix, Arizona.

Three Peas in a Pod!
As soon as we met, we were talking a mile a minute and we were all so excited to meet each other in person. We had

The Utah weather we are experiencing right now may not look like we are nearing summer, but Memorial Day is right around the corner so why not start planning for the picnics and summer entertaining with a few strawberry recipes?

This strawberry cream cheese pie is one of my family’s favorites! I’m hoping for delicious, fresh strawberries so we can have this for the holiday coming up!

More Strawberry Recipe Ideas

This strawberry spinach salad from my friend Beth of 111 Light Lane looks like it will quickly become a family favorite! I can’t wait to try it this summer!

These fresh strawberry muffins from Ashley at Modern Glam look like the perfect breakfast addition or mid morning snack. I’m all for adding in fresh strawberries wherever I can!

These personalized strawberry desserts by Sara of Twelve on Main are adorable! I always like the idea of having my own portion size pre-made for me so that I don’t have to worry about dishing up when we

The Best Macaroni and Cheese Ever

holiday recipes, Recipes, Sides, Uncategorized · April 19, 2019

I got this recipe years ago and it’s the best macaroni and cheese ever. I can’t remember where I found it or who gave it to me but one of my Instagram followers messaged me, (which I appreciate) and said this looked very similar to Giada De Laurentis’ Mac and Cheese recipe. I’m not sure of the origin of it but after reading mine and hers, they are almost the same so I’m crediting Giada for this wonderful take on Mac and Cheese! It’s been a family favorite ever since I made this for them the first time!

This yummy macaroni and cheese recipe is comfort food at its finest and can be your main dish or a side dish. This is my go to recipe when I’ve cooked a ham and have some leftovers! Ham is optional, but I’ve always made it with the ham. This is not your traditional macaroni and cheese recipe because it actually doesn’t have macaroni or cheddar cheese in it! I use egg noodles and a delicious mix of fontina, parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses. I guess it should be called a different

Refreshing My Master Bedroom for Spring

The Bedding, Linens, and Pillows
One thing I enjoy doing is refreshing our master bedroom every so often without having to buy a lot of new furniture. Because my furniture is still fairly new, I just changed up the duvet, linens, pillows, and throw blankets. This is an inexpensive way to freshen up your room and add some new colors into your decor. Your bedroom should be a warm and cozy space that you want to spend your time in.

For the bed, I bought an inexpensive sea salt colored duvet cover for the top blanket, a new quilt to go at the end of the bed, and new euro shams. I added a few new throw pillows and a light colored throw blanket on the chaise lounge chair. I am always on the lookout for inexpensive pillows and throw blankets.

I decided to try some 100% organic cotton sheets from Doplnok. I had heard good things about them, and now they are my new favorite sheets! I love getting new sheets and climbing into my bed when they have been freshly laundered. These
