It's Party Time! Let's Dare to Share!

It's Friday night, and you know what that means..

It is time to Dare to Share! 

During last week's party, I mentioned that we were going to have a Galentine's Day party on Saturday.  There were 8 of us that attended. We had some amazing food, played a few games, and got to learn fun things about each other.  I made a Galentine Get to Know the Guest game and a Galentines Day Trivia game.  While they are not in my Etsy Shop yet, I do plan on adding them and other games soon. I also brought these love bug cookies and chocolate strawberry brownies.  I was hoping to share a cookie recipe this week, but I ended up forgetting to set the timer and burned the cookies.  I may try to make them again soon. 

One thing I do have in my shop is a Pot of Gold treasure hunt and a few other St. Patrick's Day treasure hunts and games.  The holiday will be here before you know it. It's hard to believe that February is already over. 

Another thing that will be here before we know it is Spring and Easter.  I decided this week to update the house I made for my grand baby from Valentine's Day to an Easter house. I changed all the decor on the outside, and they toys on the inside. She really loves her Peep Ducks from Target and Easter Eggs that look like blocks from the Dollar Tree. She also really loves her stacking bunny tower that replaced the snowman and gingerbread tree. 
 

I am still posting my amazing clearance challenge on Instagram and Tik Tok if you would like to follow along. So far there have been 9 days of clearance finds and deals, like the books at Dollar Tree, 90% off at Kroger, and $3 blouses and tops at  Walmart.  This S'mores cookbook is such a fun find and it was only $1.50.

This next week is going to be a fun one. I have a week off of work for an early Spring Break. We are planning on going on a mini vacation for a few days some time this week.  We still have not decided where to go and what days to go.  We will figure it very soon and I will share where next week. 

Now that you know what I have been up to this week, I would love to see what you have been up too.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

Happy Friday! 

Did you have a nice Valentine's Day?  We were still in Michigan last Saturday. We celebrated by having lunch at our favorite sushi restaurant, and then saw Solo Mio at the theater.  I wasn't really sure that to expect, but it was actually a very cute movie.  I heard one woman nearby where we were sitting saying she loved it so much, she was there for a second time.  After the movie, we saw visited with my son and had dinner with him.  

I had a long weekend off of work, which gave me time to do some shopping and work on some printable games for a party I am going to this weekend.   We are having a Galentine's Day party on Saturday with several women in a local online group I am in.  We are all bringing different types of food that is red, pink or purple.  I am bringing a few red sweet treats that I have found on Instagram and Facebook. I will posting about the party this week on the blog.  

Another thing I started doing this week is an Amazing Clearance Challenge. I am sharing some of my best finds on both Instagram and Tik Tok if you would like to follow along. I am posting a new clearance post every day. So far I have shared dog toys for .01, and purses for $2.  :) 

Well now that you know what I have been up to, I would love to hear what you have been doing.   Link up and HAVE FUN!

Happy Valentine's Day! 

Tonight we are in Michigan and attended the Friday night dance with our friends. It was a lot of fun. For Valentine's Day we plan to eat at one of our favorite Michigan restaurants, and then visit with my adult kids who still live in the state. 

At work today, we celebrated Valentine's Day with the kids. In the classrooms I work, we had 11 toddlers and 2 babies.  I gave one of the babies this really cute bear, and used this listing from my Etsy Shop. He loved it! I also made goody bags with bag toppers and valentines for the toddlers. It was like herding cats when trying to have all the two year olds pass out their valentines.  They all had a good time, and that's what matters.  

Last weekend during the Super Bowl I made air fryer stuffed mushrooms, party meatballs, and cheesy tator tot skewers for the game. Everything is pretty easy to make, and disappears quickly. Do you have any special recipes you make for big events or parties? 

I am just sharing this cute picture of my dog, because she was extra smiley and wanted her picture taken. 

Well it is getting late, and I need to get this party started.  Link up and HAVE FUN!

Well it's been another week!  On Monday I drove to work okay, but when I came out to go home my tire was completely flat. The low air light had been on a couple of days, but we forgot to put air in it over the weekend. As I backed out of my parking space, I could tell something was wrong. I got out to look, and I knew I was not going to be able to go home for a bit. I immediately called D and told him. He works about 15 minutes away from where I do, so he told me he would be there shortly to help. Unfortunately it was another freezing day in the 20s  so it was not a good day to have tire issues,.  He got there about 20 minutes later, and took out the donut tire. The spare tire jack was ] not the best, but he got it to work, and was able to take off the old tire and the spare on.  We then started driving toward the tire shop to get a new tire. His car was in front of mine. Almost immediately, I realized the donut tire was going flat too. I tried to get his attention, flashing my lights at him, and waving out the window, but he did not see me. I pulled into a gas station nearby, and called him.  Thankfully he did not get too far, and turned around.  There was an air pump there, and he was able to fill the donut enough that it was safe to drive.  We made it to the tire shop 15 minutes before they were going to close.  They got me right in,and replaced the tire. They said there was a small hole in the sidewall. Since I buy all my tires at that particular tire store, and pay a little extra for repair coverage, I was able to get a new tire for free. Not having to buy a new tire, did help make the evening a little better. We also stopped for some food, because it was already 6:30 and we were hungry.

This weekend will be fun one on TV!  Not only did the winter Olympics start, but it is also Super Bowl weekend.  We always look forward to both events. We will be having a small Super Bowl party on Sunday. I love having an excuse to eat fun snacks. :)  I still have the inflatable goal post field in the picture somewhere in the house. I will have to see if I can find it.  I do plan on setting up some snacks, and using some fun football finds that I bought at the Dollar Tree recently.  

One of the snacks the family loves and always asks for are these Air Fryer Stuffed Mushrooms. The are very easy to make, and disappear quickly. 

 Another easy appetizer/snack that I like to make for parties are these cheesy tator tot skewers. I don't have a blog post with the recipe, but they also disappear quickly. 

Now that you know what I have been up to, I would love to see what you have been up to.  Link up and HAVE FUN!
