#ad Looking for a festive appetizer to bring to a holiday gathering this year? Consider making Cranberry Brie Bites with @jus_rol_northamerica pastry dough! This recipe is so simple to make, and definitely has a wow factor with fluffy layers of pastry, tangy cranberry relish, and rosemary garnish. Best of all, this appetizer comes together in under 20 minutes by using Jus-Rol pastry dough, which allows for quick prep time, consistent baking results, and simple cleanup!

Still inspired by this pomegranate mimosa from my holiday dinner party last year! I simply mixed Prosecco with a splash of pomegranate juice, and served it in clear glass ornament, garnished with sugared cranberries and a sprig of rosemary. What's your favorite festive cocktail to serve when entertaining for the holidays?

#ad I absolutely love baking with my kids during the holidays, and I am always looking for new recipes to add to my rotation. Thanks to @realduncanhines, I was able to easily whip together these three festive treats, each one using a different flavor cake mix as the base to cut down prep time, and give the treats that rich, flavorful taste that #duncanhines is known for. Here are the three treats I made this year!

🧁Cake Batter Cookies made with Duncan Hines Classic White Cake Mix

🍫Chocolate Peppermint Cupcakes made with Duncan Hines Devil’s Food Cake Mix

🍰Yellow Cake Mix Coffee Cake made with Duncan Hines Classic Yellow Cake Mix

Tackling lots of holiday baking this weekend! I can't wait to share some of the new recipes I've been testing out this year. In the meantime, I wanted to give this festive tablescape a permanent spot on my feed featuring a rust plaid tablecloth, classic white place settings, copper details, dried oranges, and a fresh greenery garland centerpiece. Thank you to @dreeshomes for partnering with me on my holiday home tour this year!

It's our first year decorating for Halloween in ou

It's our first year decorating for Halloween in our new house!! For our entryway, I decided to incorporate elevated spooky decor in a sleek black and white color scheme, with pops of gold and purple. The seasonal details included black witches hats, white pumpkins, a black wreath, purple mums, a spooky sign, and a themed welcome mat layered over a black and white checkered rug.

I'm a believer that your home is a reflection of your style, and your entryway is the first impression you give to guests, so I like to keep that in mind, even when adding holiday decorations throughout the year. Hop over to the blog for more tips and tricks for hosting on Halloween this year!

Mothers Day is just over a week away! As much as I love a low-key day with my boys on the actual holiday, I also like to set time aside to celebrate the beautiful, strong moms and women in my life too.

This year I partnered with Heinen’s Grocery Store to host a spring Mother’s Day brunch, complete with a gourmet waffle bar, signature rosé spritz cocktail, and plenty of seasonal flowers! As a lover of entertaining, I am excited to not only share the party with you all, but to also provide all of my tips, tricks and recipes (plus printable recipe cards!!), so you can feel confident hosting your own unforgettable Mother’s Day brunch this year too.
