Star Wars Day 2025

Image
  Since Star Wars Day was on a Sunday this year we invited Nick’s parents over for dinner. We also invited Jeff, Abbie, and their boys. Brichette and Flint came too. It was so fun! We had Star Wars plates, napkins, and tablecloth exactly like the ones we had last year -  2024 Star Wars Day ! For food we had: Benton Kabobs (Chicken, bacon, and pineapple) Thermal Detonators (meatballs) Stormtrooper Cheese (sting cheese) Sarlacc Cheeseball Star Wars Wheat Thins (no fun shapes) Naboo Fruit Mandalorian Goldfish Crackers Wookie Cookies (no bake cookies) Ewok Brownies For the Sarlacc cheeseball I made a regular cheeseball, but instead of covering it in sliced almonds, I covered it in breadcrumbs to create the sand. I wrapped it in plastic wrap and shaped it into a ball and then pushed a hole in the center. Then I placed it in the fridge for a few hours to harden. I pulled it out and placed two sliced almonds in the hole to create the Sarlacc monster. I used string cheese for the “ten...

Super Bowl 2025

Image
  This year for the Super Bowl we watched it from home. For as long as I can remember we have gone to Nick’s parents, but this year we weren’t able to. I wrote down a list of food, Nick and I went and got everything, and then I got everything made. We had lit’l smokies, chips, muddy buddies, fruits & dip, veggies & dip, cheese dip, summer sausage, cheeseball, crackers, donuts, and ham and cheese sliders. For the fruit and veggie dips I made them. Here is the recipe for the  Fruit Dip . The veggie dip was just a 16oz. container of sour cream and the Hidden Valley dip mix. The donuts we got from Krispie Kreme (the dozen only came with six footballs and then six regular). I made the cheese ball. It’s cream cheese, bacon, sharp cheddar cheese, green onions, and almonds. I shaped it like a football and then put Swiss cheese on top for the laces. Lydia and I tried to make the fruit look like a football, but it ended up looking more like a football stadium 🏟️! I got the reci...

Bee Kind Stickers

Image
  A few years ago I hand drew a little bee with a honey comb and wrote Bee Kind. I had a company make it into a sticker. I had them listed a few years ago, but then took a break from our Etsy store. I then created a new sticker using an app and then I had a company make a sticker. They are listed in our Etsy store! Bee Kind Stickers Here is a picture of the sticker.

Christmas Nails

Image
  Lydia loved her Christmas nails so much from last year ( These Nails ) that she wanted them painted the same this year. We did do yellow sparkles instead this year. I used  These Nail Tools  and  This Nail Tool  to paint the Santa face and the lights. I really should get some brushes! lol  For the Santa face I used a light pink/peach color and painted her whole thumb nail with it. Cured it with the light, then painted the red sparkles. Cured it, then used the nail tools and put “dots” across the red line, and the tip of her nail (for his beard). Cured it then used the nail tools to put black dots for the eyes and a light orange for his nose. Then cured them. For the rest of her fingers I painted them white and then put the sparkles over the top for her pointer, middle, and pinky fingers. For her ring finger I used black for the light string and then this year I used these  Glow in the Dark  nail polish for the lights. They light up so good, it’s...
