AD | My annual Ghoul Gang party is here and this year I have partnered with @orientaltrading for all the fun tricks and treats! This Ghoulish Gala Hocus Pocus inspired Halloween party has a side of ghoulish cuteness with fun pops of pink, purple, sparkle, and of course black!

Since my girls are still young, I look forward to this Halloween party for kids each year. I like to keep it light, fun, and more cute than scary! What I love about shopping on Oriental Trading is knowing they have the best variety of fun not-so-spooky Halloween supplies, with a mixture of classic fright night items. Everything you see from the jumbo spider entry moment, to the Hocus Pocus party table, Tricks & Treats station, and fun party games, all can be found on Oriental Trading! Save this post and share with fellow Halloween party throwers! Be sure to use code YAY for free shipping when prepping for your Halloween bash!

I created my very own little secret garden patio 🌱 💫
This Outdoor Patio DIY project has been on my mind for over a year now, and I could not be more happy with how it turned out! My outdoor dining area needed the updating, and with the cozy weather approaching I couldn’t wait any longer! The DIY of it all is really simple! Head to the blog post to see all the details:

Happy Friday!
For some of us, this is the “last weekend” of summer for our kiddos before school starts. It may be hot but I encourage you to #getoutside and make some lasting memories with your littles. There’s nothing better than letting them just be kids outside. Let them be silly. Let them be curious. Let them ask you all the questions. We as parents may not have all the answers, but the fact that they’re interested and want to learn says a lot for the person they will grow in to be. Cast the shadow of leader by showing them how to be curious and how to have an adventurous nature.
Taking a walk outside is free, and your kids will love you for it ☺️

Cheers to the weekend! 🥂

✨ Family friendly travel ideas in NC ✨
Carter Falls in Elkin NC is a great hike to a beautiful open waterfall and swimming area that both adults and kids enjoy. There are tons of locations to park and hike in depending on how much exercise you’re looking for. We chose a short route since we have little legs in tow and they did such a great job! This is a beautiful spot and one I highly recommend to take as a family weekend trip! See more of our experience here:

https://thebohodiaries.com/a-weekend-adventure-in-elkin-nc/

I’m sharing our experience hiking in with toddlers along with some tips to get you through. We also had a WONDERFUL hosted stay you can take a look at here, and one I’ll be sharing next!

Have you ever visited Elkin NC?

• Half Bathroom is done! 👌🏼
Another vision that started on a mood board come to life! I could not be happier. Board and batten really does bring a design element even to the smallest of spaces. The colors compliment the boho farmhouse vibe I have created throughout my entire first floor (minus the kitchen which is in the works) and I love how much nicer it feels to walk in there.

What do you think?!

SAVE for your future projects & SHARE with someone who enjoys budget home DIYs and renovations.

#Ad | Hey #FayettevilleNC! Main Event is having its Grand Opening this Friday, August 11 and you will WANT to be there! My family and I got a sneak peek into this all-in-one entertainment facility and non-stop fun does not even begin to cover it! #MainEvent has something for everyone to be entertained. They will be doing tons of fun activities for the Grand Opening on Friday including:

• First 200 Guests in line on August 11 will receive laser tag for ONE YEAR!
• During the weekend, $10 donations will be made for every strike bowled with a goal of raising $10,000 for Main Event’s local charity partner Fayetteville Urban Ministry!
• On Sunday August 13, guests can participate in Big Super Fun Sundae Challenge, awarding a free sundae to any family who can finish the entire sundae in 5 minutes!

I had a blast racking up points with my girls at the arcade games, running through laser tag with my family, and bowling the night away. @mymainevent also has a signature in-center dining experience called Family Kitchen, which was SO good. It has handcrafted, flavorful American-classic dishes where everyone in the group can find something they love. Main Event also has great party and birthday package options! Head to Main Event in Fayetteville this Friday, August 11th for the Grand Opening and be ready to feel like a kid again!

The most magical addition to the Disney Princess Party was having Elsa show up to surprise the birthday girl! @hanmariesparties is a must have to elevate your kids’ party and bring SO much extra joy to their special day. HanMarie’s Performing Arts & Events has tons of Princess AND superheroes to choose from. When they come to your event, these are just a couple of the awesome ways they bring magic:

• Getting To Know You” time with birthday prince/princess
• Tell His/her Special Story.
• Enchant Guests By Singing His/her Signature Song
• Sprinkle Pixie Dust to Make All Dreams and Wishes Come True

Caroline and her guests were fully enchanted, and if you need further proof just watch the 3rd slide!☺️
#HanMariesParties brought the magic ✨💓❄️

If you’re in the #FayettevilleNC or surrounding areas I highly recommend @hanmariesparties for your party! Trust me, the kids will talk about the experience for a loonggg time! 👸

#Ad | What says FUN more than a glam pool party for a bachelorette on a hot summer day?! @OrientalTrading has EVERYTHING I look for in throwing an over-the-top soiree, and for the ultimate glam bachelorette pool bash, there is no shortage of party supplies on their site! The balloons and gold foil backdrop are the perfect focal point to capture all the fun photo ops. No bachelorette poolside bash is complete without a yummy mimosa bar, and #OrientalTrading has all the cute Bride themed accessories for food, drinks, and decor!

The guest gifts were probably the biggest hit, complete with a customized jelly tote, inflatable engagement ring drink holder, iridescent sun visor, personal fan with the Groom’s face, YAY swirly straws and more! Honestly, this party came together better than I imagined and it’s all thanks to the selection I found in one place, OrientalTrading.com!

#Ad | Warmer weather means I am spending so much time outside with my family and often lose track of the day. Dinner is sometimes at the back of my mind, but thankfully, I have my @salsaritas app to order a delicious and fresh dinner to go for the whole family! Their meats are flame-grilled every day, and all produce is freshly prepared daily too!

There is nothing better than having a fresh dinner option for my family when I need it in a pinch. Our favorites to order are #Salsaritas entrees with added chips, queso, and fountain drink combo! You get all the favorites in one meal. I gotta have my @cocacola with my chips and queso! I order it for pick up at any scheduled time and love enjoying at home with my family! I’m looking forward to more Salsarita’s nights with my family this summer!

Summer is approaching which, for me, means lots of at home activities to have on hand. These fun Sticker Activity Books by @cupkin.co were just released and are the perfect companion for the kiddos. They can use their imagination and place the stickers on different scenes, as well as use their creativity with coloring! We take our #Cupkin Sticker Activity Book on road trips, to the park, and even during quiet time at home. My favorite is when the girls work together to finish a page, I love watching their creative teamwork. Head to my stories to see their teamwork in action and check out Cupkin’s Sticker Activity Books through the link!
