• GUILTY MOM CONFESSION TIME. . Every single year Evie asks for a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting because she doesn't like vanilla buttercream...and every year I lie to her and tell her that it's white chocolate because vanilla cakes are way more versatile to style on the table. #partymom . Soooooo imagine her excitement when I brought home a delicious fudgey chocolate LEOPARD PRINT cake from @seatownsweets for her Seven Safari! 🐆🦒🐅🦓 She was SO happy and I was too because it turned out so stinking cute! . I'm going to give you some behind the scenes scoop and easy party mom hacks (especially for quarantine life) this week so be sure to like, comment or share posts so you see them pop up in your feed! .

  • 4 WAYS TO TURN UP THE FRIDAY VOLUME WITH ICE CREAM! 🥳 . 🍦Ice cream for dinner. Just do it. You'll be a freaking hero and it'll TOTALLY catch your kids off guard in the BEST way. Add some nuts to your toppings bar if you’re really dead set on them getting some protein 😉 . 🍦 Ice cream taste test. Head to the grocery store and have everyone pick out a new flavor to try. FaceTime your kids at home if you don't want to take them into the store and have them look at the case and pick. I also like doing this with the little @haagendazs_us mini cups because you can get a bunch for cheap and try all kinds of flavors. Set up a taste test judging and vote on which one was best fruity, chocolate, creamiest, and of course, best in show! Sometimes we do this and head to the beach and eat in the trunk while we watch the waves. . 🍦Ice cream sandwiches. Use the leftover ice cream from your taste test and make cookie sandwiches! Make or buy cookies (the bigger the better for surface area- I like the @wholefoods brand ones in the bakery for this), place ice cream in the middle, and then freeze to set. Enjoy for a sweet cool treat! . 🍦 Ice cream blind test! Can you guess the flavors? Can you tell the difference between dairy free and regular? Make it a game then dig in and enjoy! . 📣Listen. We only live once. Ice cream is necessary in these times. Do yourself and your kids a favor, grab some ice cream and let loose! . Which of the 4 do you think your kids would love the most?? Tell me below! . . . . #icecreamparty #momlifeisthebestlife #funathomewithkids #lockdownactivities #seattlemoms #theycallmemama #allthemoms #momlifeinspo #momlifeisgood #icecreamfordinner #iscreamforicecream #kidssummer

  • My most important charcuterie platter to date! Amongst other things, this platter was one of my big jobs for my sister's wedding. If you followed my stories last week, you knew that apparently cheese is the new toilet paper and everywhere was sold out. Lucky me! BUT! My mission continued on, I found what I needed and I think I put together a pretty perfect board for guests to enjoy at cocktail hour! . SAVE THIS POST for my lightning round of charcuterie tips! 👇🏼 . 🧀 3-5 cheese types depending on your group size- odd numbers work best- always have a hard, soft, and stinky. . 🧀Cut or pull (looking at you prosciutto) your meat into bite size pieces. No one wants to be that person that manhandles meat on a board in front of people. . 🧀Choose 2-3 different types/shapes of crackers- always have at least one gluten free option . 🧀Add different colors and textures to the board to break it up- grapes, figs cut in half, nuts, crunchy cheese sticks, dried fruit, honey . 🧀End with some greenery. Cheese and meat can be kind of blah to look at- adding some greenery at the end, either a bunch of herbs, some hydrangea leaves from your garden, or fresh eucalyptus like I did on this one immediately makes it look fresh and suuuuuper fancy! . K you know what I'm going to ask you...favorite cheese? GO! Cambazola and Humboldt Fog for me. . Happy charcuterie making, friends! 🎉 . 📸: @meganjo_ . . . . . #imsomartha #charcuterieboards #plattersandboards #partytips #seattlebride #bhgcelebrate #bhgfood #marthastewartweddings #smallweddings #seattlebridemag #partyhacks #oprahmagazine #425magazine

  • Today’s the day my little sister gets married! 3 years ago, I was wrapping Christmas presents upstairs and she called and said she met someone she really likes and is excited about and I couldn’t wait to hear more! For her to say that at the time was a very big deal. A few weeks later, we got to meet him over tacos and margs at one of our favorite spots and I got in the car and told Ryan I just met my brother in law. My sister was completely different with him. I’ve never seen her like it. She was shining so bright and her energy was so confident. This guy was here to stay. 🙌🏻 . Today I not only get to celebrate my little sister entering a giant chapter in her life- getting married, but I also get a brother! I can’t wait for all of the good times and memories their future holds for us all. 💓 . Happy Wedding Day to my best friend and little sister, I’m so honored to be your maid of honor today- and to my new brother, who truly was made just for her. Alright, let the celebrating begin!! 🎉🎉 . . . #seattlebride #lakechelanwedding #quarantinewedding #maidofhonor #familyweddings #maidofhonorduties #weddingdayfun
