Your friends will cheer when you serve them these Carnitas Walking Tacos at your tailgating or homegating party. These fun game day appetizers are sure to make the perfect snack for the big game.

If you are hosting a tailgating or homegating party for the big game this year than you’ve come to the right place. Over the years I've created so many fun and festive football-themed snacks and desserts to share with you here & I can’t wait to show you what I’ve come up with this time around.

Half Ironman race & NoxGear's Visibility Vest

A special thanks to Noxgear for sponsoring today's conversation and allowing me to try their awesome visibility vest!

Hello there! Sorry I've been MIA! I have been so crazy busy with school, family, and training for a half Ironman race. The race isn't until next year but, I really want to crush it, so I have been working out really hard (in and out of the gym) trying to get my body fit and conditioned!

Mallorie & Her Magical Harry Potter Themed Party

One of my favorite book series that Mallorie has really gotten into over the years has been Harry Potter. I love her curiosity for it and that she lets me geek out on all things HP with her! Ove the weekend we got to celebrate Mallorie's 9th birthday and we couldn't think of a more magical way to do it then with a Harry Potter themed party.

Road Trippin' & First Triathlon

Summer really is the BEST time for road trips. We had such a blast this weekend going down to Tennessee, visiting with friends and being Kyle's support-crew on his very first triathlon.

Here are a few more favorites that I want to remember from Saturday's Storm the Fort Triathlon race (Half Ironman distance)...

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful and restful weekend! 

The weather here in Columbus was just perfect. It was one of those cool and slightly breezy days you long for after a row of scorching summer days. So, of course, we did our best to take full advantage of the gorgeous weather with a trip to the zoo, park, lake, and a stroll through downtown. 

PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE GANACHE CAKE

This Peanut Butter Chocolate Cake is made with layers of moist vanilla cake, peanut butter frosting and chopped Reese’s. It is incredibly rich and delicious! Definitely a must for the peanut butter lover in your life!

Hilarious Party Board Games for the Family!

A special thanks to my friends at Goliath Games for sponsoring today's conversation!

We are always looking for ways to keep the kids entertained and playing nicely with each other, especially in the Summer when the days feel eternal, instead of dozing off to a screen.  

One of our all-time favorite pastimes, that never fails to bring a smile or get a laugh out of us is playing one of the hilarious board games from Goliath Games. Since we are in a teeny apartment, we opted for a change of scenery, in the form of our outdoor lounge space. It was the perfect way for us to relax and get some beautiful sunshine in the process!

An unforgettable day at the ZOO!

Since moving here, a couple weeks ago, we've gone to the Columbus zoo a handful of times, each time only seeing a small portion of it because it's so expansive. On our latest trip we got to ride camels + check-off something from our bucket-lists that is truly unforgettable!
