Eeeek! It’s that time of year again!

HALLOWEEN TIME!!!

We love all the fun stuff that comes with Halloween (not so much the scary stuff.) Getting to dress-up, decorate the house & all kinds of tasty treats!

Today, I’ve teamed up with my favorite friends at Jane.com for a fun Trick-or-Treat with Jane event.

I’ve been paired-up with a good bloggy friend of mine, Over the Big Moon to share some fun tricks and treats. I’ve been assigned the trick… I guess a fun way to “trick” out your house. I thought I would share a fun free printable that you could use to add to your Halloween decor…

It’s simple, but can look great on a mantel or gallery wall.

You can download it here

Make sure you’re following Jane on Instagram for all the other Tricks & Treats from other creative friends!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

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!

+ This Dirty Diet Coke post brought to you by the lovely folks at International Delights +

I’m a simple girl and I love simple things.

Spring rain showers, snuggles with my kiddos, date night with my sweetheart, clean white sheets after a long hot shower, tulips, foggy mornings, fireworks, reading a good book, driving with the windows down, being silly with my teenagers, binge watching great TV shows AND DIRTY DIET COKES!!

Yep, just a simple girl… It’s amazing how the simple things can bring such joy.

I remember the first time I introduced the famous Dirty Diet Coke to some friends here in Nebraska, far away from the Swig universe. Their eyes just lit-up with pure joy the minute the first taste past their lips.

YEP, that scrumptious!

With something that good, I thought it would be a great gift to take to friends or family for all kinds of reasons; birthdays, feeling blue, get well soon, girls night out, new baby, just because I LOVE you!

Many, many fabulous reasons.

That’s why I worked up this Dirty Diet Coke gift Basket with some simple printables to help make your gift extra special.

No need for fancy tools. Just print and cut out the tags with your scissors. Tie them onto your basket with ribbon, twine or wire. I used copper wire that matches the basket I found at Michaels.

Now all you have to do is gather your Dirty Diet Coke supplies…

Dirty Diet Coke Supply List

Diet Coke

Coconut Syrup

Lime

International Delight Cold Stone Creamery™ Sweet Cream

Those are the basics… If you are putting together a gift basket you may want to include a bottle opener if you have traditional soda bottles, a small cutting board and knife if you’re going to be away from the kitchen and cups as well.

Make sure to include the recipe card so they know how to mix-up this sweet treat.

You can download the Dirty Diet Coke Printable HERE

To me the REAL MAGIC happens when you add the International Delight Cold Stone Creamery™ Sweet Cream…

That creamy twist on the Dirty Diet Coke is just divine! It’s like the best part of a float with all kinds of flavor goodness from the lime and coconut syrup working in harmony with the Diet Coke… It’s aaaamazing!

A perfect treat for any occasion!

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?
