Unicorn Chex Mix

Hi friends!

Today I am sharing a fun and colorful snack mix perfect for a party or after school snack! 

Unicorn Chex Mix! This sparkly snack mix is the perfect combination of sweet and salty 

and it's so pretty! Little girls will love this!

Wedding Ice Cream Bar

As soon as our daughter Madison and her husband Justin decided on a wedding date,
we immediately began discussing what type of sweet treats they wanted at their wedding
reception. What else would you expect from a food blogger and her daughter - ha ha!

Lucky for me, they wanted me included in on the planning and design for the wedding and
reception and I couldn't wait to get started!  Madison and Justin knew they wanted a cookie
table at the wedding reception (you can see it here) and a small cutting cake, and after
many discussions they finally decided on a ice cream bar for their guests. Since the wedding
was in the middle of June I thought this was a great idea!

Madison's College Graduation Party

If you follow me on Instagram or read my blog regularly, then you are
already aware that our daughter, Madison recently graduated from college.

Sorry for posting a million photos lately, but we are really proud of her
and I couldn't help myself :)

It seems like just yesterday that we were celebrating her high school graduation!
I'm so glad I started this blog 7 years ago and can look back on what I had
written about that day.  Four years flew by so quickly!

Cookies & Cream Mini Parfaits

Cookies and cream is a dessert match made in heaven.

If you're searching for a sweet treat that everyone loves - this is it.

Cookies & Cream Mini Parfaits are basically fancy little Oreo Dirt Cups. 

Instead of gummy worms I added a bright red raspberry to each one to make them look

more elegant and I served them in 2 oz. clear, plastic dessert cubes each with a mini spoon.

Mother's Day Brunch with Minted

This post is in partnership with Minted.  As always, all opinions are 100% my own.
Thank you for supporting brands that make Me and My Pink Mixer possible.

Holiday's have a way of sneaking up on me.
Easter totally did this year.
I'm not sure why that is, but my goal for the rest of the year is to stay on top
of things and be prepared.

This year Mother's Day weekend will be super busy for us and exciting too because
both of our mother's will be here!  Our daughter Madison graduates from college
that weekend, so all of our family will be here to celebrate.  Since the day after the
graduation party is Mother's Day, I think a Mother's Day Brunch will be perfect.

Sunday, May 8th is also my birthday, so I want to keep things simple and relaxing
after all of the weekend excitement!

I like to keep party decor simple and classic, so I turn to Minted to help me host an
elegant get together.  I am a list maker and note taker, so this beautiful, personalized
Minted color block notebook is perfect for writing notes about my menu plan, guest list,
grocery list and things I want to remember.  The colors are so me!
