Party Goods

I'm hosting a Baby Shower for my cousin Jennifer in June. I guess this means I'm back on the shower hosting circuit after my self imposed year of being "done with showers!". She is having a boy, which means (at least in my opinion), not cute choices for party stuff. I went to Hobby Lobby to have a looksie today and was super surprised by their Party Goods selection as a whole. I say that with one caveat...their printable invitations selection has been greatly decreased.

For a little background, when my law partner, Jennifer, was having little Josh, I decided that I was going to have a Nursery Rhyme themed shower. Well guess what folks, there are no Nursery Rhyme theme party goods out there! Can you believe it?! I couldn't! I actually found bits and pieces from the U.K., but decided ordering from overseas for stuff that really wasn't that good in the first place was a tad bit excessive.

Okay, so imagine my surprise today when I found the following items at Hobby Lobby!


How cute are they. I also think they have some invites that are printable... I'll keep you posted.
They also had some other really cute party goods.
This was for a princess party...
But you know what I was thinkin'...

How adorable would these be for a fun bridal shower?!? You know for a fun lovin' girl who kind of thinks she is a princess anyway (yeah, I'm kind of describing myself, but still missing the prince in this equation!). In case you can't read them, the napkins say "Once Upon a Time" and the Plates read "and they lived happily ever after".

Here are just some additional examples of the cute stuff they had...



I say Thumbs Up to Hobby Lobby for cute party goods! (even though I still think you suck for not being open on Sundays when I want to Hobby...hey they could open at noon and their employees could still go to church!)

Swiss Oatmeal {Copy Cat Recipe}

I'm obsessed with Swiss Oatmeal.  I particularly love   Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal.  If you are not familiar with Swiss Oatmeal, it is a cold oatmeal cereal with fruit and nuts. I've had a similar recipe for years, but it was only similar.  It wasn't close enough for my liking.  So I finally set out into the land of Pinterest to find a recipe that was a good Copy Cat.  I found a few, combined them and came up with what I think is a very close Copy Cat Recipe of Corner Bakery's Swiss Oatmeal. Here's what I do (note, this recipe is really just pictures, because I don't really have measurements for these things.  The photos aren't great, but it's easier if I show you what I do)... Here's the Phase 1 ingredients...   Milk Honey Yogurt (I use a vanilla greek yogurt) Oats (old fashioned, not quick...you probably could do steel cut too)    I've simplified this to where you only need a bowl and a spoon for Phase 1 becau

Europe 2023 {Day 9 ~ Munich & Bavarian Alps}

 On Tuesday, December 20th I grabbed breakfast at the hotel and then walked about 15 minutes to where I met my tour for the day.  On my first visit to Munich, I only had time for one "day trip" outside of the city and I chose to go to Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial, but I always knew I wanted to venture down to the Bavarian Alps and see some castles on my next visit.  I had booked the premium tour and it was so fancy.  There was a snack bar and they even served beer and wine on the way home after the last stop of the day.  First stop was at Linderhof Castle. This was a "small" castle of King Ludwig's that was a partial mini-replica of Versailles.  It was a snowy walk to the castle... Interior photos were not allowed, but you can see some pics of the interior HERE Like Versailles, there are fountains and sculptures surrounding Linderhof, but they cover the statues with wood huts to protect them from the winter elements. After visiting Linderhof, we made a (to

It's all about the dress...

I mean I guess it's really all about getting married, but come on, you always anticipate the dress right?  Well holy moly folks!  Today a big secret was released to the press.  No, we still don't know which dress or tiara Kate will be wearing, but we heard for the first time that Princess Diana had a back-up dress!  Here are some of the pictures and sketches... Real dress on Left~ Back-up on the Right Here are the sketches of the back-up dress And you know what?  I like the back-up dress better than the one she wore!  I know, I know.  I'm going to get blasted for saying that, but I'll just confess it right now... My name is Kara and I've never thought Princess Diana's dress was all that and a bag of chips.  Nope.  Not my favorite Royal Wedding Dress by any stretch of the imagination.  What is my favorite?  Probably the one that Sarah Ferguson wore when she married Andrew... It had beautiful beading and stitching throughout.  Also on the train it had an &quo
