Superbowl Snacking




Two party necessities you can't go wrong with: Chalkboard presentation and simple snacks. Whether you're a fan of football, (occasional) clever advertising, or a halftime show that is sure to be a water cooler topic on Monday, the Superbowl is worth watching...and let's be honest, it's the perfect excuse for a true #SundayFunday. 

Because this is every guy's favorite holiday, it's important not to overdo it on the complexity of the appetizers. Our men are sadly not in favor of our favorites like Hummus or Quinoa, so don't try to get TOO crafty. Include a solid mix of salty snacks with a few lighter options so there's something for everyone. This year. we're sticking to a classic; Meat, cheese and crackers, presented in the (semi) shape of a football, obviously. The Hormel party trays basically make this zero effort which is perfect for a weekend that's booked solid. 




Throw in some Skinny Pop and carrots with Greek yogurt dip for healthy snacking...





What are you serving this Sunday?

DIY Chalkboard Frame


I looked at so many of these on Etsy and thought why would I buy one when I could easily make it myself? I am going to be using my chalkboard for the donut station at my wedding. Really, are there any better favors than mini bites of heaven? I'm so excited.
As you can see, I also tested out a blue chalkboard paint from a bottle by Martha Stewart - The color is gorgeous, but it was a little harder to spread without getting any bubbles or bumps. The spray paint is the best way to produce even results:

Voilà! I will definitely re-purpose this once the wedding is over and display it in our house.
Will you be trying this DIY?
