I’ve partnered with NESTLE® PURE LIFE® to create this post! Enjoy!

You guys… Halloween is right around the corner!

Have you started making plans for the family? Have all the kiddos figured out what costume they want to wear? Have you figured out what treats you’ll handout? Classroom goodies… The list goes on and on!

I was at the store the other day and happened to wander into the Halloween section. As I walked up and down the isles I started to have a bit of a sugar overload and I hadn’t even had a piece of candy. So much candy sitting right there and the worst thing… It was on SALE!!!

There’s a minefield for ya!

It got me thinking though… Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a candy hater, I just know that there are other options that might come in quite handy on Halloween. Like, how about little bottles of water? Now before you label me as the lame Mom who hands out year-old pretzels to the trick-or-treaters, hear me out.

I can’t even tell you how many times we have been out on our trick-or-treating trek around the neighborhood when one or ALL of the kiddos start to complain of being thirsty. I know you’ve been there. You’re at the furthest point of the neighborhood and all of a sudden, the kiddos are in total meltdown because they are parched!

Cue the Heavenly angel music… No worries, you’ve been to MY house and this is what we were giving out this year.

The cutest little water bottles EVER! They are from Nestlé and they are super cute for Halloween!

They are NESTLE® PURE LIFE® “Share-A-Scare™” Halloween Bottles and we LOVE them around here!

With these cute water bottles, that dreaded crisis will be a thing of the past. Plus, I don’t know about you guys, but my kiddos are drawn to water bottles like moths to a flame.

I don’t know what it is but they love their bottles of water and when they are fun and geared towards kids, they love them even more. Now these NESTLE® PURE LIFE® “Share-A-Scare™” Halloween Bottles are cute on their own, but I thought they could be extra cute if I created a fun little Halloween tag to go along with them to make them extra cute!

I had a little fun with the first one, Crystal Blood. How many of you remember Crystal Pepsi? If you don’t remember, it was clear Pepsi. Looked like 7-up, but tasted like Pepsi. Crazy huh?! I had this cute little vampire graphic and I wanted to make a label for the water bottle and the first thing I thought of was Crystal Pepsi (because it’s a bottle of water) Therefore, Crystal Blood was born. I may be the only one to get it, but it tickles my funny bone!

Now every good Halloween always has a cute little devil, right? I thought this one looked super cute holding a straw…

We can’t forget everyone’s favorite Jack ‘o Lantern. For this one, I thought it would be perfect to have a label for “Jack ‘o Lantern Tears… Drink them & Weep!” That there is PERFECT for a bottle of water!

These label are easy to download and print on card stock paper and then cut out with either scissors or a paper cutter.

Punch a whole in the top left corner and then tie them onto the bottle with some ribbon or twine and you’re in business!

They look so cute with the fancy bottles. Visit the NESTLE® PURE LIFE® “Share-A-Scare™” HERE to see where you can find these cute little water bottles in your area.

9 Great Printable Drink Notes for Back-To-School

10 · Sep 7, 2016 · 1 Comment

I’ve partnered with Huhtamaki Inc. for the Chinet® brand to create this post! Enjoy!

I don’t know about you, but I’m always looking for ways to help my kiddos feel extra special. Especially now that they have gone back to school, and the daily grind is starting to get to them a bit. The magic of summer is over, and they need a little pick me up in the mornings.

I’ve always been a fan of the good printable ol’ lunchbox note, but I thought it would be fun to change things up a bit and create some morning drink notes that you can wrap around a Comfort Cup® by Chinet® cup for a little boost at the beginning of the day!

We aren’t coffee drinkers at our house, but we LOVE hot chocolate, Choffy, flavored milk steamers, herbal tea… all kinds of tasty treats. The Comfort Cup® by Chinet® insulated hot cup is perfect for keeping your hot drink hot, and it’s specially designed to keep your hands comfortable with a special three layer system that keeps the cup insulated.

They aren’t just for hot drinks either! They’re perfect for taking your colds drinks on-the-go as well. My kiddos are always wanting to take drinks with them to school or other activities, and I’m always getting frustrated with them leaving their drink containers places. The amount of drink containers that they’ve left for the universe makes my head spin. When I use the Comfort Cup® by Chinet® insulated hot cups I know I won’t have to worry about that. Plus, who doesn’t love to walk around with a cute cup while on the way to school or other activities?

You pair them with my fun printable drink sleeves with a cute little note, your kiddos are going to adore them! I’ve created a set for the younger, elementary age kiddos and then a couple that the teenagers might like (well, teen girls anyway. The boys maybe not so much.)

They are simple to use, you can download the files HERE. Then print them out on card stock paper and cut them out with scissors. Super easy… No need for a fancy cutting machine!

Wrap them around your Comfort Cup® by Chinet® insulated hot cups, and affix with tape or glue dots. It’s that simple.

What a simple way to help your kiddos feel extra special!

Original Chex Mix Recipe + Merry Chexmas Printable Gift Tag

123 · Dec 10, 2015 ·

Who doesn’t love a classic?

So many times I find myself drawn to the classic recipes. They are tried and true, they are what brands are built on. I’m totally that way with my Chex Mix as well. I have childhood memories of sharing Original Chex Mix with friends at sleepovers and at our first “boy/girl” parties. Remember that? It was such a fun new idea back in the day.

The thing about classics, they NEVER go out of style.

The classic white shirt, classic cars, black pumps, jeans… the list can go on and on.

Today, I’m sharing a fun way to take the classic Original Chex Mix, package it up and give it as a fun gift for friends & neighbors this Holiday Season! You know… Not everyone on your list LOVES sweets!

First you need to mix up a batch of Original Chex Mix, you can find the recipe HERE.

Then you need to gather some jars. I found some fun gifting jars at Target that have a flat surface on the sides so that they are easier to add labels to. They are in the holiday baking section at Target.

I designed this fun label that you can print on either card stock and tie onto your jar OR you can print it on label paper and stick it to the side of your jar.

Click HERE to download the printable Merry Chexmas tag.

You can either print it on white label paper OR I love the Printable Gold Foil that Silhouette makes.

All you need to do is cut around the edges, leaving a little border around the edge and then affix them to your jars. It couldn’t be any simpler. Fill your jars with your Original Chex Mix…

And then top it off with a bow…

I also spray painted my lids gold so they wouldn’t clash with my gold label, but that’s not totally necessary. Now you have a GREAT savory gift that is perfect for friends, neighbors, teachers, the office, the mail man, your bus driver… Basically ANYONE!

You can do all kinds of other stuff with this idea… Layer some Original Chex Mix with some Muddy Buddies for a savory & sweet treat. You can find all kinds of other ideas at Chex Mix. You can also follow them on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest. They even have a whole site devoted to all things Chex Party Mix!

You’ve been armed… What are you going to gift this Holiday Season?

A few weeks ago I had the fun opportunity to visit the Jane headquarters in Salt Lake City, Utah for a scrumptious event…

DIY Yard Yahtzee

5 · Aug 20, 2015 · 4 Comments

Are you looking for something fun for your summer holiday gatherings or even a lazy Sunday afternoon? Labor Day is coming up & kiddos love games. The bigger they get, the bigger they want their games! We were getting ready for a family event and I thought it would be super fun to create a DIY Yard Yahtzee game with large dice for the family to enjoy!

This is a great way to gather everyone for a little fun this summer. The dice are super easy to make, I whipped up 2 sets in a couple of hours. They are simple 4x4x4 blocks of wood that are faux stained with BB Frösch Chalk Paint. When they aren’t being used to play games, they make great decor for your home.

Here’s your materials list…

12 4x4x4 blocks ( I bought a 4x4x10 board at Home Depot and cut it into 4x4x4 blocks.)

8 oz. BB Frösch Chalk Paint – Brown

(You can select whatever color you like, I’ve used Mink from Benjamin Moore mixed with BB Frösch Chalk Paint Powder. You can just grab a sample pot of paint at Home Depot in your favorite color and mix it with BB Frösch. You can even ask them for Mink, they have it in their system even though they don’t carry Ben Moore products.)

8 oz. BB Frösch Chalk Paint – White

BB Frösch Premium Finishing Wax – Clear & Dark

Paint Brush

Wax Brush

Round sponge

Directions

Please make sure you sand your blocks once they are cut, you don’t want any rough edges. Dust them off and get your space ready for a quick paint session. CLICK HERE for a quick video tutorial on how to make these cute dice.

Large Dice for Yard Yahtzee from Heather Thoming on Vimeo.

It’s really just that simple. A little paint & wax and you’re good to go. This is a great painting technique for furniture and all kinds of stuff… It’s not just for dice!

Now, all you need to do is gather the troops and PLAY!!

If you’re new to Yahtzee, here’s a link to the rules of the game that you can print if needed. You can download your printable Yahtzee score sheet here.

I’ve also created a fun printable that you can download.
