The NUT JOB 2: Nutty by Nature Out in Theaters August 11th
Today is the day when The NUT JOB 2: Nutty by Nature comes out! You just might want to take the kids this weekend and check it out. We really enjoyed this movie and were laughing along with the kids. The cast in The NUT JOB 2 are amazing and I don’t think you can go wrong with Will Arnett as the lead character. In The NUT JOB 2, Surly Squirell (Will Arnett) and the gang are back. We are once again in Oakton where the evil mayor has decided to bulldoze Liberty Park and build a dangerous amusement park in its place. Surly and his ragtag group of animal friends…

Grilled Shrimp with Garlic and Herbs
We have been enjoying quite a few shrimp recipes this summer! Seafood just sounds better during the hot summer months doesn’t it? And shrimp is pretty affordable – especially if you buy it frozen! We (my husband) attempted this new recipe on the grill and it is both in our top 2 favorite shrimp recipes we’ve tried out so far. There is a ton of flavor and super easy to make! We grilled some artichokes as well. First steam them and make sure they are soft enough to eat. The grilling with some spices and a little olive oil just adds some nice flavor. We also grilled some corn.…

“One in a Melon” A Watermelon 1st Birthday Party
Theme: One in a Melon [Watermelon 1st Birthday Party] I was honored to collaborate with my best friend, Marissa Bell, on her daughters first birthday party. Here is her story of how she came up with this adorable theme one in a melon & how we created the balloon garland. The party was adorable and loved by all! My husband, Dan loves to grill, he is known for his amazing BBQ so it was a given that whatever theme Everleigh’s 1st birthday party was he’d be providing his culinary gems. I thought of several different themes, all of which were super girly and frilly which, I didn’t feel went well…

Worlds Best Marinara Sauce!
You know some nights you just crave pasta?! Well, last night was one of those nights and we went on a search to try out a new marinara sauce. We had picked up some yummy homemade meatballs at our local Italian deli (I highly advise to do this to cut down on time in the kitchen) and found a delicious recipe on All Recipes. We always like to add our own spin on recipes – you know add more garlic or olive oil. But this recipe is pretty right on so we followed it minus the white wine. The whole family really liked it – even our daughter whose…

Smurfs: The Lost Village Party, Craft and Recipe Ideas
This past week we had a chance to host a Smurfs-inspired party in anticipation of the Smurfs: The Lost Village Blu-ray and DVD release beginning of July! Be sure to check it out and host your own Family Movie Night! I love simple yet cute additions that are easy for us busy moms to put together. The mushroom tic-tac-toe game we created that was inspired by the Smurfs mushrooms and was super easy and you only need a few items. The vanilla bean cupcakes are seriously the best ones I’ve made! I do believe the addition of real vanilla bean is the trick. Vanilla Bean Cupcake Recipe This…
