Refreshing Summer Drinks – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party

Lolli — Tue, 31 Jul 2018 11:01:51 +0000

What is more refreshing on a hot summer day than a cold drink? The answer? Not much.

I don’t drink alcohol (or coffee or tea, for that matter!) but there are so many drink recipes available that are fruit based. I LOVE a good homemade smoothie or spritzer!

We’re on the final stretch for the summer as we finish off July and enter August. I’m not quite ready for the summer to end (so it’s a good thing we have about 4 weeks left before school starts back). What are your plans for the rest of the summer??

Welcome to Delicious Dishes Recipe Party! In case you’re new to the party, here’s what you need to know:

Valentine’s Day Sweet Treats – Delicious Dishes Recipe Party #101

Lolli — Tue, 30 Jan 2018 12:00:53 +0000

Can you believe it’s the end of January? The year is already flying by! Today my 3rd child turns 17. He’s been taller than both of his parents for years now, he’s a junior in high school, on the varsity cross country and track teams, and he’s a kind and social teenager. He makes a mama proud!

Because it’s the end of the month, and because I am SO close to meeting my big sales goal for my LuLaRoe business, I thought I’d reach out to you guys. There’s no pressure at all, but if you love buttery soft leggings or need a new shirt or sweater (or anything in between), would you please consider making a purchase from me today? I would SO appreciate it! I’ve got a special deal going on through end-of-day Wednesday. Shop or just browse here: https://sonlet.com/party/1595836638p/

Now let’s turn our focus back to our yummy party! I don’t know if it’s the colors this week or if this is a particularly delicious collection of recipes, but my mouth is watering!

Delicious Dishes Recipes Party #40 – Halloween Treats

Lolli — Tue, 11 Oct 2016 11:00:19 +0000

The weather has officially turned comfortably cool and on my drive yesterday morning, I noticed the leaves turning gorgeous fall colors. I’m celebrating a birthday at the end of this week with a girl’s weekend at Hersheypark (for Hersheypark in the Dark! I can’t wait!). And then a few days later, I travel back across the country to spend a week with my mom and 2 nephews while my brother and sister-in-law enjoy a little getaway. Life is good. Busy, hectic, and pretty messy most days. But good.

Can you believe that it’s Halloween season? I’m sure you’ve seen Halloween at the stores and all over Pinterest. Whether or not you’ve got kids who like to dress up in fun costumes and trick or treat, you can’t deny how fun Halloween treats are! We’ve gathered a bunch of our favorites from last week’s Delicious Dishes recipe party below. But first, here are two of my own Halloween recipes that I know you’re going to love!

Ghosts in a Graveyard Pudding Cups

Halloween Candied Popcorn

Lolli — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 22:52:41 +0000

Hi guys!

St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt

Lolli — Mon, 22 Feb 2016 06:00:08 +0000

I’m so happy you’re here. Are you excited to celebrate all things Irish and Green and Lucky with me?

Do your kids love doing scavenger hunts? I’m excited to share this St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt Printable for kids! Did you see last month’s Valentine’s Day scavenger hunt? I’ll be bringing you a NEW, seasonal scavenger hunt each month, all year long!

(Click HERE or click the image above to download the PDF version of this scavenger hunt!)

How to use this St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt Printable

Whether or not you’ve got some Irish heritage like we do (from both sides, in fact!), your kids will love searching for green things and getting in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit! The best thing about this scavenger hunt is that it can be played many different ways – use the printable list as a guide and make the game your own. Simply print off as many sheets as you need, and then go have some fun!

Print:
PDF version of St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt
Jpeg version of St. Patrick’s Day scavenger hunt

Single-player game: race against the clock! See how many of the items on the list you can find in 5, 10, or 15 minutes. Look in the house for as many items as possible, or find things that aren’t at home in a magazine or book.
Group scavenger hunt: If you have enough players, divide into 2 teams. Each team works together to find the items on the list. Reconvene at a specific time to compare what each team was able to find.
Get creative! Some items are easier than others to “collect” as participants search for things on the list. Let the kids think of alternative methods of “collection” such as taking a picture, drawing a picture, or having an adult initial next to an item on the list. See ideas for gathering clues below.
Broaden your search area. With parental permission/supervision, teams can ask neighbors for help gathering scavenger hunt items. Maybe you don’t have a cupid at home, but a neighbor does. Make sure that kids know to only go to houses where they know the people that live there, and always bring a buddy along.

Methods of gathering “clues:”

Each person or group has a small bag and collects as many items inside the bag as the can in a set amount of time. At the end, everyone shows off the item they’ve collected.
Each person or group has a digital camera (phones, ipod, etc) and snaps a picture of each item they find.
Simply check off each item on the scavenger hunt paper as it is found or have another person act as a “witness” and initial the paper to verify that an item was found.
Use your imagination! Let the players decide the rules!
