Simple Pumpkin Muffin Ice Cream Sundae

Pumpkin Muffin Ice Cream Sundae

Entenmann’s® Little Bites® are pretty popular in my house. Whether we’re enjoying them on one of our many road trips or just for an afternoon snack, my kids love these things. Probably because they’re perfect for little hands and they taste great! But did you know they make a great addition to dessert! I needed a quick and easy dessert for a fall dinner party a few weeks ago and since I had a few boxes of Entenmann’s® Little Bites® Pumpkin Muffins on hand, I made these simple Pumpkin Muffin Ice Cream Sundaes. Not only were delicious but they were so easy to make.

Take summer entertaining to a whole new level with this delicious Grilled Pineapple a la mode. Topped with Open Nature® Scandal-Less Sea Salt Caramel Ice Cream #OpenNature #ad

Nothing screams summer to me more than backyard picnic, cookouts and fresh pineapple. I’m obsessed with fresh pineapple and love that during the warmer months, I can always find them in my local ACME Market. While fresh pineapple is great by itself, it’s even better when you throw it on the grill and pair it with Open Nature Scandal-Less Sea Salt Caramel light ice cream for a dessert that will have you feeling like you’re on a tropical island! This Grilled Pineapple a la Mode is just that dessert. The perfect summer treat and the star of your next barbecue. [Read more…] about Nothing Screams Summer like this Grilled Pineapple a la Mode

Toy Story Alien Popcorn Recipe

Celebrate the opening of Toy Story Land at home with this easy to make Toy Story Alien popcorn recipe.

Toy Story Alien Popcorn Recipe

Toy Story Land is officially open and judging by the photos I’ve seen, it looks just as epic as I expected it to be. From the delicious food options at Woody’s Lunch Box to the rides, I cannot wait for our next trip to Disney World to experience Toy Story Land in person. I already love Toy Story Mania but I’m really looking forward to Slinky Dog Dash and the Alien Swirling Saucers. I mean, what’s not to love about those little green guys. While we wait (not-so-patiently) to experience it in person, we’ve been enjoying the Toy Story movies on repeat almost daily. To make those movie nights a little more fun, I whipped up this easy recipe for Toy Story Alien Popcorn inspired by Toy Story Land and the Alien Swiling Saucers ride.  [Read more…] about Toy Story Alien Popcorn Recipe

Winnie the Pooh Pops Inspired by Disney’s Christopher Robin

Cool off with these delicious Winnie the Pooh Pops inspired by Disney’s #ChristopherRobin

Winnie the Pooh Pops

Growing up, Winnie the Pooh was one of my favorite characters so to say I’m a little excited to see my pals from the Hundred Acre Wood back in a live action adventure would be an understatement. Disney’s CHRISTOPHER ROBIN is one movie I can’t wait to see this summer. While we wait for August 3rd to roll around, I’m getting creative in the kitchen with the kids making fun Pooh themed recipes like these Winnie the Pooh Pops or my yummy Winnie the Pooh Smoothie that I shared a few weeks ago.

  • My sleep routine just got a serious UPGRADE! (Ad) @tempurpedic just sent me their new TEMPUR-LUXEbreeze, which feels up to 8 degrees cooler than a regular mattress. I get pretty warm at night and am known to sleep with the windows open and fan on year round. Instead, my mattress will now help keep cool and comfortable all night long. Even E is in love with the new bed! The material inside the mattress absorbs excess heat while you sleep allowing you to get a good, uninterrupted night’s sleep. I’ve already noticed a difference and I’m only two nights in! No more night sweats or waking up because I’m too hot. I already love this trend! I’ll be sure to report back to you in a few days and let you know just how my sleep routine has changed. Check out the link in my bio to learn more about this amazing new mattress #tempurbreeze #tempurpedic

  • Spending a little more on high quality, every day essentials is something I can totally get behind. Especially for necessities like bath tissue. @KhiLuxury bath tissue has a cloth-like softness, is practically lint free and feels so luxurious compared to other brands. But my favorite part? The 100% plastic free packing. We’re drastically cutting back on the amount of plastic that we use and consume and this is just another way to continue that lifestyle. Plus the cute box coordinates with my new bathroom and looks perfect displayed right on my latest DIY project, these. bathroom shelves! #khiluxury #ad • • • • • • bathroomgoals #bathroomremodel #bathroommakeover #bathroomdecor #bathroomdesign #luxury #bathtissue #DIY #DIYShelves #industrialpipedecor #industrialpipeshelves #industrialpipe #njblogger #nj #powderroom #halfbath #powderroomdesign #plasticfree #diyprojects
