When it comes to taking kids to Disney, outfit planning is half the fun. I’m not joking when I say that at least 25% of my children’s wardrobes are probably theme park related. Since before Easton was born I have been collecting Disney themed clothing items and planning outfits in my head. </div>

As our kids have grown we've branched out into some amazing small shops for our Mickey & Friends themed clothing addiction and I love pairing their items with basics we already own. We also find a lot of Disney basics at places like Target, Old Navy, Gap, the Disney Store and more. Here are some of our favorite outfits with purchasing information and links. <b></b><br />

I cannot believe my big boy is three! The past few months Easton has taken his love of all things Halloween and Disney to a new level (which might have something to do with him seeing the Halloween decorations up at Magic Kingdom while it was still August). So when I asked him what kind of party he wanted for his third birthday he told me a "Spooky Mickey Party". While it might seem random to some, Easton has been watching the Haunted Monster Musical episode of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on repeat since June so I wasn't surprised in the least bit.<br />

I've always been a sucker for a good theme and I may or may not have gone a little bit overboard when it came to planning his party. I had to talk myself off the Amazon ledge a few times to keep myself from ordering 10 foot tall Mickey Halloween inflatables.<br />

We went with an afternoon party and served light finger foods including Mickey Chicken Nuggets, Spooky Spinach Dip, Peanut Butter & Jelly Bones and a haunted cheese platter. I used my Sharpie skills to turn mandarin orange cups into pumpkins which served as both a snack for the kids and a great table decoration.<br />

I decided to go with the traditional Not So Scary colorway using black, orange, neon green and purple for most of our decorations and tableware. There is a real lack Disney branded Halloween party supplies so I mostly stuck with solid colors or basic seasonal decor with small Mickey accents where I could. I used a black plastic table cloth to cover up our usual dining room canvas to create the perfect backdrop for additional party decorations.<br />

For Easton's cake, I did go all out and ordered a <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/SweetTreatStencils?ref=l2-shopheader-name" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">custom sprinkle mix</a> made to match the Magic Kingdom's Not So Scary Halloween Party theme and I'm pretty sure it was the best $8 I've spent in a long time. His cupcakes were from Sam's Club and I just had them made with the solid colored icing and added my own Wilton sprinkle mix when I picked them up.<br />

I wanted something simple looking for the boys' outfits so I ordered them solid black shirts off Amazon and then ironed on Mickey pumpkin patches and paired them with shorts from our favorite- <a href="http://prz.io/Jk85jqI8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">June & January</a>.<br />

I set out some basic Halloween crafts for the kids to do on the back porch and had a color your own "Club Candy Corn" cardboard haunted play house for them as well. These cardboard play houses have become a bit of a tradition at our parties and the kids never seem to tire of playing with them. For favors I was able to find the perfect Disney Halloween sticker books at Micheal's for each kid to take home with them.<br />

Do you have pumpkin whiplash yet? I know I do. I can barely open my laptop or turn on my iPad without being smacked in the face with pumpkin overload. Pumpkin Spice Lattes, Pumpkin Cupcakes, Pumpkin Candles: I have even seen Pumpkin Twinkies on Pinterest.<br />

Whatever happen to easing into the holidays? It's still 85 degrees out. We plan on going in the pool this weekend. I can't start eating pumpkin pie right now. I want to get into the seasonal spirit but I can't justify opening a can of pumpkin puree just yet. So I made you a pumpkin spice fill in the blank dessert with just a hint of the good stuff.<br />

When I saw this Limited Edition Philadelphia Pumpkin Cream Cheese I knew exactly what I would be making with it. Seriously, stock up on this stuff. It is like crack. I want to spread it on everything, no really, everything. And now that I have tried it, I have visions of frostings, bagels, donuts, breakfast foods and more. I am pretty sure I will be buying this about 957 times between now and late November.<br />

It has a distinct pumpkin taste on its own but once you add it to chocolate chip cookie recipe you have a heavenly cloud of subtle pumpkin goodness. These cookies are just what the doctor ordered when it comes to curing your holiday themed food hangover.<br />

Because really, it's not even October yet. And if Pinterest keeps it up with the pumpkin madness, I highly doubt anyone in my family will feel like a pumpkin spice anything by the time we finally make it to Thanksgiving dinner. So make these cookies and give your taste buds (and your can opener) a little break.<br />

Something almost as important to my family as Notre Dame football would be dessert. It is not a game watch without a least a few different types of desserts. We usually all eat during halftime with dessert served after the meal, but in our family people have been known to sneak into the kitchen and steal desserts well before meal time. </div>

And when the game is over, my family also likes to <strike>fight ove</strike>r politely discuss who gets to take home the leftover desserts. And with 10-25 people in attendance at every game watch, we need a lot of desserts. </div>

With the happiness and mental stability of multiple family members on the line (especially when the game gets stressful or goes badly, which with Notre Dame is always a very real possibility), I try to plan ahead an provide plenty of dessert options when it's our turn to host.

When it comes to game day desserts, I need recipes that can be made ahead of time and eaten while standing around the tv screaming at the refs. I am always looking for treats that are easy to make and easy to clean up after, especially since I have a few family members who tend to get a little heated during a game (here's looking at you Dad). These two recipes more than fit the bill. </div>

This Snickers Bar Fudge is the perfect hand held dessert. I make it the night before and the morning of the game I cut it into squares and leave it already arranged on a plate in the fridge to pull out at half time. It needs no utensils and guests don't even need a plate (although if they used a napkin that would be nice). The chopped pieces of Snickers Bar sort of melt into the fudge when they are first mixed together so every bite has a little bit of gooey caramel and creamy nougat. The peanuts add a little crunch and with only three total ingredients, you can't find a much easier recipe to make. </div>

Have a family member who's not that into chocolate (that doesn't exist in my family but maybe yours is different)? Candy Bar Trifles are just the thing. I let my guests "do it themselves" on these. I just put out plastic cups, cake pieces, whipped cream and candy pieces and them them make their own.These can be eaten anywhere and with a plastic cup and plastic utensils, people can just throw them away when they are done which means no extra dishes for me. </div>

The only thing I will have to worry about with these desserts is if I made enough for everyone to not only eat during the game but to take home with them afterwards too. Unless my aunt decides to do one of her cheerleading jumps with a dessert in her hand, then I might need to worry about my carpet too. What your family doesn't randomly recreate cheerleading scenes from 1979 in your living room during intense plays? No? Just us? Maybe if you focus on the dessert photos you will be able to forget I said that. All family weirdness aside, here's hoping for a successful and not so stressful football season with plenty of desserts. GO IRISH! </div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: inherit;">6.) Pull the foil edges up and use the foil to remove the fudge from the pan. Cut into squares to serve. Be sure to store leftover fudge in the fridge so it doesn't get melty. </span></div>

You may have noticed it's been a little quiet around here the last few months. And that is because our family is very excited to be welcoming Baby Boy #2 early this November. We are overjoyed and feeling so blessed to be able to give Easton a sibling.</div>

We really wanted to build on Easton's Disney pregnancy announcement but by the time we felt ready to take photos the weather had already gotten a little warm for a pregnant lady and toddler to try and take pictures in front of the castle so we decided to take some photos on the beach locally and incorporate a little bit of Disney for good measure. </div>

While taking these photos seems like it would be easy it was a disaster. Every time we tried to go to the beach to take them it would either rain or winds would be blowing 20 MPH. And to top it all off, Easton decided to be a true toddler and refuse to cooperate. I had grand plans of different styles of pictures but these were the best we got so we rolled with it. Such is life. </div>

I was excited that we got to use Easton's <a href="http://prz.io/Jk85jqI8" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">June & January</a> anchor tank shorty for the photos. I actually found J&J but seeing images of their original anchor print from when they were formally Little Hip Squeaks. I followed the image from Pinterest to their new website only to find out it had been discontinued. So naturally I spend weeks on the BST pages tracking down old LHS anchor items and when they announced that anchors would be re-released this summer I made sure to grab <i>a few</i> things in Easton's size. New to June & January? Use <a href="http://prz.io/Jk85jqI8" target="_blank">this link and the code</a> it takes you to for 15% off your first purchase. And Easton's outfit is on sale which is even better! </div>

<span style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; margin: 0px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Being a Florida baby, Easton has been going to the beach and pool since he was about six months old. For years Justin and I got used to being able to throw a few towels and chairs in the car and head down to the beach for a full day of relaxing. Now that we are parents our beach prep has changed quite a bit. To say we need more than a few towels and a cooler would be an understatement. </span></span></div>

Then we went through a phase where we brought not enough with us and would end up having to leave way earlier than planned due to a hungry baby or a lack of extra diapers. </span></span><br />

I love </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Blue Lizard®</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> products because they have a unique zinc oxide formulation and provide broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. The Baby formula is SPF 30+ and paraben-free and fragrance-free</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Long sleeved rash guard top</b>: Even though we always apply sunscreen the long sleeves are great for longer days in the sun.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Dry change of shirt</b>: Sometimes the rash guard can make Easton cold so I always pack a dry shirt in case he wants to take a nap or relax under the umbrella</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Sippy cup with water:</b> We learned the hard way that trying to keep your toddler hydrated with only bottles of water ends up with a lot more water spilled than consumed. Bringing his own zippy cup means he stays hydrated a lot easier. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Beach & pool toys</b>: We have set of beach/sand toys that always stay together for beach trips and a few smaller toys that we bring with us for the pool. This way he is entertained no matter where we are. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Snacks</b>: Even though Justin and I bring our own snacks, I always pack Easton's in his own separate snack cup. This way his sandy hands stay out of my pretzel bag. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Pre-cut fruit</b>: I love packing a little container of pre-cut fruit. I always make sure to prep it before hand so it is as easy as possible for Easton to snack on without bringing along utensils. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Extra swim diaper</b>: We learned the hard way that one swim diaper isn't always enough for a trip to beach or pool (believe me you don't want the details). Having an extra with us means our time in the water doesn't have to be cut short when unexpected accidents happen. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Hooded towel</b>- I always bring Easton his own sized, hooded towel. It cuts down on the bulk of bringing an extra regular sized towel and the hooded one stays on him better when we are drying off and getting ready to pack up. </span></li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Getting ready for summer with your toddlers? Be sure to stop by your local Walmart and stock up on <span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Blue Lizard®. I purchased mine at Walmart and was able to find it in the dedicated sunscreen display. Also be sure to check out </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Blue Lizard® Sunscreen's </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;">Patented Smart Bottle™ technology. The bottle changes color when exposed to l UV sunlight and can be used as a great teaching tool for kids on when to re-apply sunscreen. </span></span>As will all things be sure to consult with your pediatrician before using sunscreen on a child younger than 6 months old. </div>

I can safely say that breakfast is Easton's favorite meal of the day. Fruit, yogurt, cereal, biscuits, toast, pancakes, waffles- he loves it all. Recently he has been on a bit of a pancake kick eating as many as five mini pancakes in a sitting. Usually I just throw a few frozen <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://cbi.as/77i3z" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eggo Buttermilk Mini Pancakes</a> in the microwave and serve them to him plain but on weekends we have the time to get a little more creative with our pancakes and waffles. </span></span></span></div>

All <a href="http://cbi.as/77i65" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Eggo products</a> are now made with colors and flavors from natural sources which means that my childhood favorite is now an even better option for Easton.

This topping looks like it would be complicated but it is actually really easy and only takes a few minutes. I used:</span></span></span></div>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Diced up apple slices (these came from a bag of pre-sliced apples in the fridge) </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">3 tablespoons of brown sugar</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">1 tablespoon butter</span></li>

Easton currently thinks he is 5 years old instead of 16 months old and is obsessed with climbing the stairs at the beach boardwalk even though he hasn't quite mastered the skill completely. If we even dare to go to one of the many parks near a beach access he will break off into a sprint and head for the boardwalk and proceed to have an epic meltdown if we don't let him go down to the sand. </div>

These pictures are even more special because they are at a beach that Justin and I have been going to ever since the summer of 2004 when we first started dating. It was the first beach we took Easton too after he was born too. I'm pretty sure he and Justin swing by there once a week to "check the waves" while at I'm work. </div>

If you follow me on social media or know us in real life, it's no secret that <a href="http://prz.io/9iFq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">June & January</a> is one of my current favorites when it comes to Easton's wardrobe. I am loving this combo of teal striped tank and poppy lounge shorts on him and can't wait to dress him in one million different versions of this outfit all summer. </div>

When it comes to entertaining my newest motto is "work smarter, not harder". I use to spend hours in the kitchen before a party to the point where guest would be showing up and I would still be in the kitchen in sweatpants prepping appetizers. Once Easton was born I realized that if I wanted to have people over the majority of the party prep would have to take place the night before the event after he had already gone to bed. I started making my dips and spreads ahead of time and storing them in the fridge. Veggies got washed and chopped more than 5 minutes before the party start time and desserts needed to be something that could easily be stored in the fridge.<br />

This new strategy really helped cut down on pre-party stress but it wasn't without its flaws. Our fridge would end up stuffed full of various sizes of food storage containers that no matter how hard I tried would never seem to stay stacked on top of one another. Also, many of our containers were opaque and hard to see through and I could never figure out if I was about to warm up <a href="http://www.tobinstastes.com/2012/05/nancy-jane-swiss-cheese-bread-dip.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">swiss cheese bread dip</a> or cookie dough. Thankfully I discovered <a href="http://cbi.as/71pla" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™</a> and was able to solve my entertaining preparation dilemmas.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™ is crystal clear with 360 degree clarity meaning that no matter what angle to put it in the fridge at you can always tell exactly what's inside. It is also designed to stack perfectly with all the various sizes easily fitting on top of each other. It's stain and odor resistant and the best part? It's 100% leak proof, guaranteed. Which means you can store any kind of soup or liquid in it without worrying about ending up with a mess in your fridge.<br />

My personal favorite feature of the Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™ line is that the containers are nice enough to double as serving wear. For a recent get together I made a few of my favorite party foods ahead of time. I was able to store everything in the fridge and then simply take the containers out, place them on serving pieces and I was ready for guests. My current party favorites are:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Easy On The Go Veggie Tray</li>
<ul>
<li>Prep and chop veggies ahead of time and store in Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™. </li>
<li>On a large serving tray place your four containers and add a small bowl for dip in the middle.</li>
<li>Once the party is about to start, remove the lids, add your ranch dressing and set tray our for guests to enjoy. </li>
</ul>
<li>Fig & Goat Cheese Spread</li>
<ul>
<li>Blend together 8oz of goat cheese and 4 tablespoons of fig preserves</li>
<li>Store in Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™. </li>
<li>When the party starts, set the container in the middle of a serving tray, add crackers and enjoy!</li>
</ul>
</ul>

While I served these for friends at my house, they are both so portable if you are heading over to someone's house for the Big Game this weekend. You can easily put all your items in a large bag and show up ready to wow your friends with your on the go appetizer skills. </div>

And since it wouldn't be a party without dessert, I pre-made my favorite <a href="http://www.tobinstastes.com/2012/06/chocolate-chip-cookies.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Grown Up Chocolate Chip</a> cookie dough and stored it in the large Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™ container overnight. It was ready to scoop out and bake right before the party. This was perfect because it meant I was able to clean up the baking mess and corresponding dishes the night before so my kitchen stayed clean day of. Bonus- the house smelled amazing when guests arrived. </div>

Rubbermaid® BRILLIANCE™ is available nationwide at Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, Target, Amazon and other fine retailers. We loved it so much that we got a second 10 pc BRILLIANCE™ set for Justin to take to the fire station. We also gifted one to my sister who is about to have her second baby. She was thrilled to be able to use it for fridge organization as she gets ready for baby.<br />

People may find this hard to believe but until I was 31 years old, I did not wake up in my own home on Christmas morning. I spent 30 Christmas mornings waking up at my grandparents' house in West Palm Beach. It was an amazing tradition and loved waking up with my cousins and grandparents all together to open presents.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Since Santa brought our gifts to West Palm, our immediate family had a tradition where Santa would stop by our house in Vero on the night of the 23rd and fill our stockings. Even as adults in our own homes my parents would have us all come over (and beg us to spend the night) and open stockings together before we left for my grandparents.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
After opening our stockings we would all sit down together for a breakfast of chocolate chip muffins and chocolate santas. A delicious breakfast but one that may or may not have been lacking in nutritional value. We would always tell ourselves that we would be sitting down to a huge lunch at my grandparents house so we didn't need much. However, as the day went on we would be running late, hit traffic, or arrive to my grandparents to find that there was some kind of crisis with the traditional Christmas play the younger cousins would put on and somehow it would be 2:00 and we wouldn't have eaten lunch.<br />

This year I am going to be prepared for a long day with a breakfast that is a little more filling. These Cinnamon Muffins with a Quaker® Simply Granola Streusel are the perfect hearty breakfast treat for the holidays. The addition of <a href="http://cbi.as/6pq2b" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Quaker® Simply Granola</a> into my favorite cinnamon muffin recipe means that these will last you through morning. The crunchy granola, dried apples, cranberries and almonds are a perfect way to spice up any holiday recipe.<br />

These are best served warm with some butter or jam on the side but they can be reheated too if you want to make them the night before. I used <a href="http://cbi.as/6ia4n" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Quaker® Simply Granola Oats, Apples, Cranberries & Almonds</a> but any of the other varieties would work great as well. Be sure to check out other flavors like Quaker® Simply Granola Oats, Honey & Almonds and Quaker® Simply Granola Oats, Honey Raisin & Almonds next time you are at Walmart.<br />

I have vivid childhood memories of my brother playing with <a href="http://clvr.li/2fehDIi" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">LEGO DUPLO toys</a>. He had hundreds of them- a barn with farm animals, race cars, police and fire trucks and of course every color of DUPLO brick ever made. Even though we were technically "too old" for DUPLO products, my sister and I would always secretly try to play with them despite my brother's protests. I have been waiting for Easton to be old enough for them and we were so excited to get his first sets.<br />

Our nephew Jack is a few months older than Easton so we decided to share our new DUPLO toys with him and let Justin help them build them together. They were so excited to open the boxes and it was too cute to watch them helping build the sets. I love that they sets had a learning component to each of them with the numbers on the caterpillar and the way the plants in the garden could be made to grow. We took the opportunity to explain to them about planting things and gardens and practiced our counting too.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Whether just learning to stack, building small structures or role playing with minifigures, LEGO® DUPLO® offers open-ended play for every stage of your young one’s development. Jack is only 10 months older than Easton but it was so neat to see how different they both were in their approach to the DUPLO bricks. Easton just loved to try and get the bricks to stack together while Jack was taking his time watering the plants and making the figurines walk around. He also was explaining things to Easton which may or may not have made me tear up. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">LEGO® DUPLO® preschool building toys are specially designed for the small hands and big imaginations of children aged 1½ - 5 years. DUPLO bricks are twice the size of standard LEGO bricks, making them a safe way to kick off a child's building career. Justin and I felt good knowing that they were safe for the boys to play with and even occasionally "taste" as they both have been known to do. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">After we built our sets we went outside in my mom's backyard and showed them the plants and flowers just like they had built in the garden set. I know they are young but it's never too early to start helping them make connections. </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">Play is essential for early learning since it's the way young children learn about their world and as parents we can be their first partners in play. What is your number one tip for making the most of playtime?</span></span><br />

Have you ever been to a party where you aren't 100% comfortable with the other guests? Like you know them well enough to be at a party with them but maybe not well enough to eat and talk with them at the same time? It's always such a dilemma for me especially when there's good food. Do I make myself a plate and then awkwardly try to eat and hold a conversation at the same time or do I skip the food and socialize without my hands and mouth full? Neither one seems like a perfect answer.</div>

This holiday season I decided to save my guests the tough decisions and make an appetizer that can easily be eaten on the go without the need for making a plate or wielding a cheese knife. These Goat Cheese & Fig Bites are the perfect grab and go snack. They take my favorite cheese and spread combo and sandwich it between two buttery <a href="http://cbi.as/6ipz0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">RITZ Crackers</a> for an easy to eat treat that leaves your hands free for saying hello to people you haven't seen since last Christmas.</div>

Not only are they ridiculously good but they are also really simple to make. I was able to grab everything I needed at Walmart including the goat cheese and fig preserves. My store usually has both near the deli but also check jelly aisle for the fig too if your deli doesn't have it. Also be sure to use the <a href="http://cbi.as/6hoxk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ibotta app</a> to earn cash back on your RITZ Crackers too. </div>

What makes these delicious little bites even better is how they can be easily arranged into a Christmas tree to display them for party guests and make them even easy to grab in between conversations. I added a little extra garnish with dried cranberries and grapes but you can skip them all together or just go with whatever you have on hand. I used a cake stand for my display but you could just as easily set it up on a platter or right on your appetizer table. I can't wait to see what other spreads I can try next. I'm thinking cream cheese and pepper jelly or maybe even a whipped feta variety. For now I'll leave you with the 2 step recipe for assembling the goat cheese and fig version.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><u>Goat Cheese & Fig Bites</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>70 RITZ Crackers</li>
<li>4oz package of goat cheese</li>
<li>1 jar of fig preserves</li>
<li>green grapes and dried cranberries for garnish </li>
</ul>
<div>
1.) Beat together the goat cheese and about 2/3's of the jar of fig preserves using an electric mixer. Let it set up in the fridge for 10-15 minutes.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2.) Spread a teaspoon of the mixture on a cracker and sandwich it with another cracker. Let them harden in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. </div>

<br />
3.) To assemble the tree start with a circle of crackers (I used seven with one in the middle) and layer in circles as you stack.<br />
<br />
4.) Garnish with dried cranberries and sliced green grapes. Serve immediately.<br />

I love everything about the Christmas season. The decorations, the parties, the time with family and friends, the baking and sharing of treats, the two weeks off from work and so much more. Most of these are things that I think most people look forward to and associate with the holidays but I also have something that I consider my own secret cue that Christmas is on its way - seasonal flavored candies. </div>

I can't help myself. The minute stores start putting out their Christmas Limited Edition flavors I have to buy them all. And not because I'm someone who likes to eat candy straight from the bag (no judgement if that's your thing), but because I can't stop imagining all the holiday treats I am going to bake using flavors like peppermint, gingerbread and white chocolate. My personal favorite-<a href="http://cbi.as/5-g-s" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> holiday flavored M&M'S®. </a><br />

I seriously stockpile them. It starts with buying a bag or two of each limited edition flavor or colorway. Then usually a week or two later I swing back to <a href="http://cbi.as/67wj6" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Walmart</a> and grab a couple more bags of my favorites. I have major issues with being worried that I will make an amazing recipe only to want to recreate it later in the month and not be able to find the flavor of M&M'S® I originally used. I may or may not have an entire storage bin in my pantry dedicated to seasonal baking products. While stocking up I am also sure to check out <a href="http://cbi.as/64st2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Ibotta</a> (my favorite <a href="http://ibotta.com/r/vckbQ" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">cash back</a> app ever) and take advantage of the holiday baking rebates they have right now. </div>

I bake a ton over the holidays.

One of the things I love the most about seasonal M&M'S® is that they make it so easy to adapt my tried and true baking recipes to holiday themed treats. I use them to mix into cookies to add a pop of festive red and green or to top my favorite buttermilk cupcake bites for an easy party dessert. With this recipe I simply took my easy, two ingredient fudge recipe and added in some <span style="color: #333333;">M&M’S® Brand White Peppermint (Limited Edition) Candies to make it Peppermint Bark Fudge. It took minutes to make and is the perfect thing to wrap up and gift to family and friends.</span></div>

1.) In a saucepan, combine the chocolate chips and condensed milk and melt over medium heat. Stir occasionally.</div>

<div>
3.) Once the chocolate chips are melted stir in one half of the crushed M&M’S®. Pour the mixture into the lined 9x9 pan.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">And as if the sale wasn't exciting enough, I'm honored to have the opportunity to giveaway a pair of Freshly Picked soft soled moccasins on the blog this week! Please note that you cannot have won a FP giveaway in the last 60 days and that shipping is only available in the United States (sorry!). Once a winner is randomly chosen you will need to respond to your email from me within 48 hours so I can give your information to Freshly Picked. Good luck!</span></span><br />

The holiday season is officially here and in our house that means lots of baking and dessert making. Every year I spend an entire day in the kitchen making tons of Christmas treats and packaging them up and give them to my co-workers, friends and family.<br />

This weekend I wanted to test out a new recipe to add to my traditional list of treats and since we were going out of town for a wedding I figured the recipe could also double as a thank you gift to my parents and in-laws who would be watching Easton for us.<br />

These cookies are a twist on one of my favorites- Brown Butter Snickerdoodles. The browned butter is an added step from your traditional snickerdoodle recipe but it makes all the difference. This version are also topped with holiday chocolate covered candies and they add a whole other layer of richness to what is already a complex and delicious cookie.<br />

The </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Quik Clik Seal™ keeps cookies and other baked goods fresh and since they are microwavable and freezer safe your recipients can reuse them for pretty much any kind of food storage once they have eaten all your treats. </span></span></span></div>

Instructions</div>
<div class="instruction">
1.) In a medium sauce pan, place butter (cubed) and heat on medium heat until the foam subsides and the butter turns brown. Should take between 8-10 minutes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="instruction">
2.) Pour the browned butter through a strainer into the bowl of a stand mixer. Beat on medium to bring back to room temperature, 5-7 minutes.</div>
<div class="instruction">
<br />
3.) Whisk together the milk and eggs.</div>
<div class="instruction">
<br />
4.) Once butter has cooled, add the sugars (amounts for the dough) and beat on medium for about 2 minutes.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="instruction">
5.) Add in egg and milk mixture and beat until fully combined.</div>
<div class="instruction">
<br />
6.) Add in the rest of the dry ingredients in 3 parts until just combined.</div>
<div class="instruction">
<br />
7.) Cover dough in plastic wrap and stick in the fridge for at least an hour but not more than 24 hours.</div>
<div class="instruction">
Mix the cinnamon and sugar for the rolling mixture in a bowl. Place candies in a separate bowl.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="instruction">
8.) Using a cookie scoop or your hands form uniform ball of dough. Press the dough ball into the mini candies and then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture before placing on a lined baking sheet. If you roll it in the sugar mixture before putting the candies on they won't stick very well so add the candy first.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="instruction">
9.) Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes or until the tops of the cookies have started to "crack".</div>
<div class="instruction">
<br /></div>
<div class="instruction">
10.) Let the cookies and the chocolate cool completely before storing in Rubbermaid TakeAlongs.<br />

<br />
<br />
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and I'm going to tell you a secret- I don't really like pie, at least not in it's traditional form. Thanksgiving desserts for me have always been about chocolate or apple or mint- anything non-pie really.<br />
<br />
So in case you share in my unAmerican love of all things not pumpkin pie, here are my favorite non-pie Thanksgiving desserts.<br />

Since Easton was too little to bring to the pumpkin patch last year, Justin and I knew we wanted to bring him for photos this year. And in our family there is no going to the pumpkin patch on your own, it must be a full on family affair with cousins and grandparents too.<br />

Our day started out slightly chaotic when we arrived to the pumpkin patch my mom and sister had visited last year only to find out that the weekend they had visited last year was apparently some kind of "fall festival" that was not scheduled until next weekend.<br />

We had heard good things about a pumpkin patch at a church a few minutes away so we headed there with high hopes for pumpkin filled family photos.<br />

When we arrived at the second pumpkin patch we realized that it wasn't scheduled to open until noon and it was only 10:30. After a short family discussion (read: argument) we decided that we would take the risk of trespassing in the name of cute fall pictures.<br />

We weren't the only ones desperate enough to risk breaking laws for pumpkin photos. Once we decided to step over the ropes, families who had been waiting in their cars decided to get out and join us. Enough people showed up that the church volunteers ended up coming out early and opening ahead of time. Guess we started a trend.<br />

Easton wasn't too cooperative for the photos but he had way too much fun running around and grabbing every pumpkin in sight. My nephew Jack was so in love with his mini pumpkin that they ended up having to buy it for him so he wouldn't have to give it up. Overall it was the perfect way to kick off fall!<br />

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "georgia";"><span style="font-family: inherit; white-space: pre-wrap;">With Fall finally here I am so excited to start incorporating more of my favorite fall flavor into our recipes and daily routine. I know that pumpkin is usually the star of fall but apples are my true fall ingredient love. Many of the members of the Social Fabric community have gotten together to create this amazing list of over 60 ways to use apples this fall and all year round. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! </span></span></div>

So apparently it is "fall" all around America. Target has the Pumpkin Spice M&M's and Candy Corn on display. People are putting out door wreaths and taking in summer patio furniture. Every other post on Pinterest is fall this or pumpkin that. But here in South Florida? It's humid, sunny and 90 degrees. Not quite my idea of fall.<br />
<br />
One thing fall-ish I can get into are apple desserts. Not Hot Apple Cider type treats but cool, crisp apples and no need to turn on your oven treats. And this Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip fits the bill.<br />

This was actually the very first recipe I ever posted on the blog. And since it's been a few years and a name change, I think it is high time I reposted this recipe with photos that don't look like they were taken in a root cellar.<br />
<br />
Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip is one of those recipes that people see set out at a party and are like, "Oh, apple dip how healthy!" And then they take one bite and realize that the only thing healthy about it is the apple slice they are using as a shovel to get the dip into their mouths.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfP7M8F3B68ocd3wRkxK9pZgtpapFVwE_36ZXZNG1_yS158t_y27IXq9gTXFj-FlGJa0zkR99wrSUQ2PWsjzENqHKP4Zk8Cn7Fi8j87fkewzE70swG3Jdyd_Ryn3eJVYCyDhJD0oWoYS-4/s1600/caramel+apple+dip+3715.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfP7M8F3B68ocd3wRkxK9pZgtpapFVwE_36ZXZNG1_yS158t_y27IXq9gTXFj-FlGJa0zkR99wrSUQ2PWsjzENqHKP4Zk8Cn7Fi8j87fkewzE70swG3Jdyd_Ryn3eJVYCyDhJD0oWoYS-4/s640/caramel+apple+dip+3715.jpg" width="426" /></a></div>
<br />
And once the apples run out (and they inevitable will, because really, who ever gets the dip to dipper ratio right?) people will start using spoons, forks, knives, cookies or even their fingers if the evening gets late enough to scrape every last bit of caramel covered, powdered sugared, cream cheese off the plate. And why shouldn't they? The apples were healthy.<br />
<br />
I got this recipe from a friend at a summer cookout and then have adapted it over the years. I make it at least once a month or more and each time it turns out a little bit different depending on what I have on hand. Feel free to spice it up with whatever toppings make you happy. And then serve it to your friends with a limited amount of apple slices and watch the social experiment begin : )<br />

<u><b>Caramel Apple Cheesecake Dip</b></u><br />
<ul>
<li>8 oz. brick of cream cheese softened</li>
<li>6 tablespoons powdered sugar</li>
<li>caramel syrup (I find the caramel dip/topping to be a little too thick)</li>
<li>mini chocolate chips</li>
<li>Heath Bar Toffee Bits</li>
<li> Granny Smith apple slices (I buy the presliced CrunchPak for ease)</li>
</ul>
1.) Beat together cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.<br />
<br />
2.) Spread mixture onto a serving dish and smooth out into a thin layer.<br />
<br />
3.) Sprinkle on chocolate chips and toffee bits.<br />
<br />
4.) In a pretty pattern, drizzle on the caramel sauce to lightly coat the candy pieces.<br />
<br />
5.) I chill it in the fridge for an hour or so before surrounding it with apple slices and serving it.<br />

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I originally used the Baby Care Centers for nursing and pumping but now that Easton is almost one I find that they are great for older babies and families too. Here's some of my tips and suggestions for using the Disney Baby Centers with older infants. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">1.) </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Know where they are located before you get to the park.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Visit Walt Disney's website for the location of each center in each of the parks. They are usually near the entrances but detailed maps can be found online. Every minute counts when you have a screaming baby or a smelly diaper. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">2.) </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Strollers have to be left outside so be sure to have everything you need in the diaper bag.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> It isn't difficult to head back outside to grab things but you might be in a bit of a bind if you are mid diaper change and realize the wipes are in the bottom of the stroller. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">3.) </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">All members of your party can join you in the Baby Care Center.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Some of them are smaller than others so usually just Justin and I go in with Easton if we are at the parks with friends. The communal nursing/pumping areas are for moms only (Epcot & Magic Kingdom have these) but dads and other children are welcome everywhere else. </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">4.) </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Take advantage of all they have to offer.</span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Each Baby Care Center has a clean and designated place to change diapers or outfit, an air conditioned space to feed babies and toddlers including high chairs and sink and microwave for food prep. They all also have places for parents and older children to use the restroom, as well as a water cooler where we like to fill up Easton's sippy cup with water (and mom & dad's water bottle too). </span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">5.) </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">They are the go to place to purchase anything you may have forgotten to pack. </span><span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Each one has a fully stocked store just in case you forget diapers, wipes, formula, food, snacks, outifts and more. The Baby Care Centers are sponsored by Kimberly Clark so you know they will always have your favorite Huggies products on hand.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.666666666666666px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Now that Easton is older his diaper needs have changed too. He just started wearing size 3's so on a recent impromptu trip to the Wilderness Lodge for the night I grabbed a bag of Huggies Little Movers from our diaper closet (shower gifts) and threw them in the suitcase. We had never tried them before but I thought the Disney characters would be perfect for a weekend at Walt Disney World. </span></div>

I was shocked at the Huggies diaper and wipe selection they had and the Walt Disney World Annual Passholder in me loved the Disney theming that many of the different diapers and wipes had.

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I was little I mostly remember my mom doing the grocery shopping. She always brought a list and with very few exceptions she would stick to it. Every once in awhile my mom would be busy or out of town and she would end up sending my dad to the store to pick up a few things. She would write the list on one of her little sticky notes and I can still remember him sticking them to the handlebars of the shopping cart as we walked through the store.</span></div>

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Most days, my dad would stick to the list. But sometimes he would give in to an impulse buy and treat us or himself to something special and not on the list. One thing I remember he always had a weakness for was soda in glass bottles. I have a vivid memory of him bringing a pack of "limited edition" glass bottled root beer home one summer afternoon and helping us make root beer floats. I didn't even really like root beer back then but I still thought it was pretty much the coolest thing ever.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When I was in Walmart last week and saw these throwback glass bottle sodas, I knew I had to put together a little end of summer party for my family. Back To School season always brings back all kinds of nostalgia for me especially now that I am a teacher. I remember my mom (who was also a teacher) making a big deal out of the last week of summer with ice cream in the backyard with all the neighbors. I decided to recreate some of my favorite childhood after school treats to pair with an ice cream float bar to help celebrate the end of summer.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 11pt; margin-right: 11pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: center;">

<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I set up a table in the backyard using a pink and orange color theme (those colors just scream summer to me). I found some adorable matching straws and napkins with the words "EAT" and "DRINK" on them and they fit the theme perfectly. My desserts were all recreated versions of after school favorites with a grown up twist. I used white and orange cake stands and dessert towers to display them down the middle of the table so everyone could grab what they wanted.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The cake for these Creamsicle Cupcakes is made using only two ingredients- white cake mix and a 12oz bottle of Orange Crush soda. The real sugar in the Crush was perfect for sweetening the recipe. The great thing about this combo is you can customize it anyway you want. I can't wait to try it with IBC Root Beer next!</span></div>

I can still remember my childhood lunchboxes. I was (still am) a pretty picky eater as a child so I basically had like three lunch options my mom would rotate between depending on the day- Sprinkles Yogurt, peanut butter sandwich no jelly, or a cheese sandwich with butter (?). Sides would include a stack of Pringles, a bag of Cheese Balls, Goldfish or a mini bag of Wise Butter Popcorn.<br />

My mom was a "cool mom" who almost always included a dessert too- Dunkaroos, Chewy Granola Bars or if I was really lucky a Little Debbie treat. I'm not sure what made them so amazing but I have vivid memories of Swiss Cake Rolls, Zebra Cakes, those little frosted Christmas tree cakes. For some reason she was totally cool buying them for us and we certainly weren't complaining. <i>Side note: Please do not think my mom fed us a steady diet of processed food. We drank milk at every meal, weren't allowed to have soda, had home cooked dinners every night and were very active healthy kids. However, it was the 80's/early 90's. </i><br />

One thing I don't ever remember her buying us though were Cosmic Brownies. Maybe we never asked for them. Maybe they didn't come out until I was past the age of getting a daily dessert in my lunchbox. Maybe she drew the line at those artificial colors. Who knows what the reason was but the first time I ever tried them was in college from a vending machine during finals week when I was desperate for a late night snack. They were simultaneously everything I had ever imagined they would be but also something I could never see myself eating on a regular basis. My childhood dream fulfilled, I never ate them again.<br />

Every now and then I will pass the snack cake aisle in the grocery store and if I am having a particularly bad day I will briefly consider the idea of buying a box of Little Debbies. Luckily common sense/social acceptability wins out and I keep right on walking. But when I found a bottle of the brightly colored candy coated chocolate pieces in the baking aisle the other day, I couldn't resist recreating Cosmic Brownies at home.<br />

These scratch made brownie bites are so easy and lately I have been making them whenever I need a little treat for an event or get together. They are so easy to customize and you can add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, M&M's, dried fruit or pretty much anything you have on hand. These are made with regular cocoa powder but I've made them with dark cocoa too and they turned out amazing.<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px;">Before I had a baby, I could spend an entire day in the kitchen baking and think nothing of it. Especially around holidays and birthdays, I would log hours measuring, sifting, kneading and icing to perfection. Once Easton was born I was lucky to get 10 quiet minutes to preheat the oven for our frozen lasagna. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: inherit;">This weekend we went out to lunch with my family at a place where we are known for usually getting dessert. I had mine all picked out but when we finished our entrees Easton and my 1 1/2 year old nephew had hit their restaurant limit and we had to end the meal without anything sweet. Justin and I had both been looking forward to a restaurant quality dessert and so I decided to recreate one at home.</span></span><br />

It's not often that this happens but these turned out exactly as I imagined them in my mind as I was making them. The crispy outside of the cookie cup was a perfect contrast to the ice cream and the sea salt kept the caramel sauce from being too sweet. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px;">I use to be known for my elaborate desserts so I have been looking for ways to create treats that look a lot more complicated than they actually are. These Salted Caramel Cookie Cups are just that. They only take minutes of prep time and they can be customized any way you like. I prepared the mix the traditional way but you could easily add in some toffee bits or chopped nuts for a fun twist. I love that the box even has different directions depending on how you want to customize it. </span></span><br />

For teachers, Back To School always starts about a week earlier than it does for students. In a way, teacher workdays might be more stressful than the actual first day of school. There are meetings, trainings, professional development, setting up your classroom, catching up with co-workers. So much is going on that it can be easy to to get three to four hours into your day without realizing that you haven't stopped once to sit down and have a snack or eat breakfast. </div>

Any teacher can tell you that the teachers' lounge is always filled with not so good for you snacks and empty calorie treats and in a pinch it is tempting to fill up on those instead of making better for you choices. This year I wanted to give my fellow teachers some satisfying snack options that would a little more healthy than the typical donuts, candy and baked goods that are often available during this week. </div>

Did you know that you are suppose to get at least 48 grams of whole grains a day? In an effort to make that easier for my fellow teachers I grabbed a few <a href="http://cbi.as/4smlu" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Nabisco snack items</a> at Walmart last week that are all made with 5-25g of whole grain per serving. (I had no idea that even Teddy Grahams have 8g per serving!) Including whole grains in your day can help you get through the whole day even when that day might be a very long teacher workday.</div>

I arranged the snack items in an easy to carry basket and put some Greek Yogurt Spinach Dip and Hummus to go with the TRISCUIT Thin Crisps (25g of whole grain per serving) and the Wheat Thins (21g per serving). I put the Fig Newtons, Teddy Grahams and Honey Maid in individual cupcake liners by portion size so that it would be easy to grab the perfectly portioned snack on the go. The belVita Breakfast Biscuits are already portioned in their packaging and make for a great addition to any workday breakfast along with some fruit or yogurt. </div>

As a teacher, I know that any workplace would love to get a little back to school love in the form of a Snack Basket like this one so I created a few printable signs to include with a gift basket in case you want to make one of your own. I had mine printed on card stock because it's a little sturdier and holds up better. All you need to do to print them is to click on the image and you will be taken to a site to download and print them. If that doesn't work you can just click on these links: <a href="http://d.pr/i/11sT4" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Chalkboard version</a> or the <a href="http://d.pr/i/1dfRh" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Lined Paper version</a>. </div>

As much as the teacher in my hates to admit it, Back To School is right around the corner. Which means that Fall can't be far behind. It may take months (maybe years?) for the Florida weather to start feeling fallish but that doesn't mean I can't take matters into my own hands and start making some seasonal recipes. </div>

I know most people are all about that pumpkin spice when it comes to fall desserts but personally I prefer apple flavors. Here's a little round up of some of my favorite apple desserts - perfect for fall or all year long. </div>
