Regardless of how much technology we consume in a day, how many emails we check, or face time calls we take, there is just something so special about getting something in the mail. No, not cheesy advertisements or coupons, although I admit that I do look through the coupons, but something personal and unexpected. It…
Watermelon Popcorn
I hope you all had an awesome weekend! It’s Monday, and I feel like Monday’s are always pretty terrible. Back to work and another full week ahead. And not to mention that we just started AUGUST! Where has this Summer gone?! I usually try to keep a to-do list of holiday or seasonally appropriate activities and…
DIY Polaroid Cake Topper
Remember one post back, when I mentioned topping this cake with a fun cake topper? Did you really think I’d leave you guys hanging without a cake topper project…? Absolutely not. Duh. I’m sure most of you happen to have a polaroid camera hanging around. They were all the rage a few years back and…
Strawberry Shortcake Layer Cake
It’s definitely not a birthday without cake and there was no way I was going to let the blog’s 1/2 birthday slip by without whipping up a little something sweet! But, with a birthday falling during the middle of the week, I opted for a bit of a short cut, instead of trying to make…
Mini Cake Banner Printable
I definitely don’t need an excuse to celebrate around here. Hello…my entire blog is based on entertaining, but this week is a special one. It officially marks Let’s Mingle’s 1/2 birthday! 6 months of posting all things confetti, cake, and entertaining related! A bit of a stretch for a celebratory post, yeah probably, but it’s…
Blueberry Ice Cream
Are you guys ready for the easiest ice cream recipe ever? No, really. This stuff is a cinch to make. No ice cream maker…? No problem. Don’t want to sit over the stove or wait for things to chill for hours in the fridge before freezing? Again, no worries here. This blueberry ice cream is…
Healthy Strawberry Margaritas
This week is only a 4 day work week for the residents of Utah (aka, me) and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Pioneer Day, the day that the pioneers settled in the state, is on Friday and I intend to celebrate the state holiday with a cool cocktail in hand. (Not exactly very “Utah-esque” of…
Mini Floral Arrangements
I am a total flower girl. No, I don’t want the hubs getting me flowers each week, but I love to have fresh flowers on my table when I have company over or put together a dinner party. It’s a simple way to bring the outdoors in and make things seem fresh. And not to…
Dip-Dye Favor Bags
I’m on a watercolor kick lately. I started out with these cookies a few weeks ago and I haven’t stopped since. Maybe it’s because I’ve realized that I don’t have much skill when it comes to watercolor (at least not yet!), or maybe it’s because everything just looks so pretty with watercolor technique, but either…
Shark Week Cocktail: “Blood in the Water”
It’s FRIDAY! I don’t know about you, but this week has been a doozy for me. Crazy busy schedules, what seems like an endless amount of problems popping up, and various home improvements that all decided now was the perfect time to break down. (Our front door handle was only ONE of the many things…
