Birthdays & Celebrations, Party Ideas

Thomas the Train Birthday Party

November 18, 2018 Kaycee 1 Comment

My beautiful little God daughter is in love with Thomas! Trains in general, I think, as well! For her second birthday, she got to choose the them. Naturally, she chose Thomas! So, I thought I’d share the lovely homemade cake and some of the decorations. Hope you enjoy!

The train tracks on the cake were made using licorice and the jelly beans add a nice rocky effect! The little kit so that you have the train and plastic decoration can be purchased online or at anywhere you get cakes from.

Em loved the toys off the cake. I will admit, I remember picking cakes for the toys when I was a kid. Kind of like picking a kids meal for the toy. LOL.

I used my Cricut to cut paper trains then traced them with marker. You may have the dedication to do the wheels and such in layers of multiple cuts, but I do NOT! LOL. Lil girl had fun putting them up on the wall too. 😀

Some other ideas:

Red bandanas make great party favors to go with a little train conductor hat or (if you are brave enough) whistle!
Make train boarding passes for the invitations instead of buying them, then you can have hand stamps for when they enter
Make cardboard signs to use as decorations (such as stop signs, RR crossing, etc)
Set up little play areas where the kids can rotate through playing with different train sets
Make a duck tape railroad track for the kids to play on. (just be careful what you stick it to, I’d stay with carpet!)
MUSIC!!! Play music and/or videos in the background to help keep the mood going.

What is your favorite kids party theme???

Lugz Mallard Boots

No matter how are to fight it, I will always be a jeans and T-shirt, muddy boots kind of girl Sometimes I fight it, other times I embrace it. At the end any day, I will always be an Okie! Check out these awesome Lugz boots that are comfortable all the time! Great for anything!

I recently got a pair of the Lugz Mallard boots to review and try out, let me tell you, I had a great time breaking them in! A good review wouldn’t be complete without being thoroughly tested right? I feel that boots are meant to be put through the wringer, so to speak, and if they can’t stand up to the dirt, mud, and everything that comes with country life then they really have no business in my closet This is also very strong contributor to why I feel that boots are meant to be with jeans (good ones not thin designer jeans and sure as heck not with leggings, dresses, or skirts).

~ The Mud ~

I decided to give them test run whenever it rained and stormed because, frankly, I like walking in the mud and seeing how it goes (it’s the kid in me the, Okie in me, and it makes me happy so no judgment!) After stepping in some shallow mud, I took it a little deeper where the mud covered the sole of the boot. I am super pleased to say that:

they were easy to clean
I didn’t slide in the mud

~ The Verdict ~

After all I’ve worn them, tested and experimented, it’s safe to say love my new boots! They are amazingly warm, comfortable, and stylish! I think me and my new boots are going to have some fun this winter! If only they would go with those formal outfits that I have to wear in the winter time! But then, I’m way too country to really think that boots go with any kind of skirt. Ever. But that’s just me other people have their own opinions,

Appetizers

Pizza Rolls

November 17, 2018 Kaycee 4 Comments

I made these for a church function and they were a huge success. Everyone loved them! I hope you’ll enjoy them too!

Ingredients:
1 pkg Filo Dough
olive oil
1 jar Pizza Sauce
1 pkg shredded cheese
ground beef, pepperoni, etc
(whatever ‘toppings’ you’d like)

Lay filo dough out flat. CAREFULLY peel 1 layer of dough off and set aside, then peel another layer. Brush first later with olive oil, then carefully place the second layer on top. It tears really easy so take your time and be really careful!
Spread a small amount of sauce into a line close to the edge of the dough, leave space for ends of rolls. Otherwise they’ll overflow.
Place cheese and toppings on top of sauce. Remember, it doesn’t take much!!!
Roll dough over the toppings until if forms a little roll.
Use olive oil to seal the edge, cut off additional dough.
Slice roll into desired size.
Repeat until out of ingredients.
Bake at 350 until dough is lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes.
Enjoy!!!

What are your favorite pizza toppings???
