Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Every August, our world goes from busy to full on crazy. My kids have birthdays that are two days apart which makes party planning a little challenging. I always try to have them in the same weekend because I am insane so that my parents can attend without having to travel back and forth several weekends in a row. Typically H’s party is on Saturday evening at our local pool and E’s is the following morning at home. Well, that all changed this year with our My Little Pony sleepover.

Chalkboard week continues! I’ve got another ridiculously simple project today. This time I am combining my trusty chalkboard paint with ceramic tiles to create chalkboard ceramic coasters.

My hair is on fire. Like almost literally…that is how crazy it is around here. I’ve got kid stuff followed by a husband out of town…followed by me out of town {SNAP!}…then, we roll right into our big neighborhood yard sale where I am hoping to unload about 1/2 of our belongings this year.
So, over the course of the next few weeks, you are going to see some flashback posts here so I can remind you of how bad my photography was/is of some of the fun projects I’ve worked on in the past. Don’t worry, they won’t all be flashbacks…I do have some new stuff thrown in there too.
Today, we start with one of my absolute favorites: chalkboard dipped wine glasses.

I was cruising around Pinterest the other day and stumbled across a great project that I knew I had to try!
We do a bunch of entertaining and so this would really be great for keeping everyone’s wine glasses straight. I used to have some of those little charms but they always get lost or broken. This seems like a perfect alternative as we always have chalk around.

As I was making the Mexican bean salad for the shower the other day, I thought about how easy single servings would be for party guests to take things from the buffet back to the table. Chalkboard mason jar lids seemed like the perfect option to make this idea work.
They would also be great to just put at place settings too!

Ok, so we’ve talked about the favors, the bean salad and the gift cake from Liz’s shower. I promise this will be the last post but I wanted to show you a few of the other little details from the shower.
Who I am kidding…I really just have a million pictures that I have to justify somehow 🙂
The shower was outside at a local vineyard.
{I know that sounds like a funny place for a shower but it is really picturesque and the perfect place for a casual shower}
Shopaholic went over with me early to help set up. We covered the food table with a cute little green table cloth and attached the bunting banner to the front.
