Did y’all really think a holiday could come by and I wouldn’t make a totally festive Poptart for it?!? Since air fryer Poptarts are my latest obsession, I just HAD to get creative and make a St.Patrick’s Day Poptart!

Filled with Strawberry Jelly since that’s what was sitting in my refrigerator & covered in the cutest shamrock sprinkles I snagged at Wegmans, these Air Fryer PopTarts are to die for! So easy to make and o so delicious!

Enjoy!

Serve & Enjoy!

Ahhhhh New York!! I have such a love/hate relationship with you!!! Due to the world being chaos right now and travel restrictions galore here in good ole New York, our usual February Break vacation plans drastically changed. With mandatory quarantines in place for NY residents, and those of us with a huge case of wanderlust having to choose which vacations to keep and which to cancel since now we have to tack on quarantine days as time off from work, staycations are looking more & more appealing to fill those gaps.

Last weekend we headed 45 minutes south of Jamestown to North East Pennsylvania. Home of the Holiday Inn Express Water Park Hotel. Since we couldn’t head south and chill poolside this February, this water park hotel was exactly what we were looking for. We could chill poolside all weekend long while not freezing to death since the fabulous pool was inside. Plus, no mandatory quarantine! 

The Holiday Inn Express North East Water Park is a swim at your own risk water park. This means zero life guards and there isn’t an employee keeping track of how many people are actually in the pool area. So depending on your comfort levels with crowds, this would be your deciding factor on booking your stay! If you look at the photos above, you can see that even on a weekend, the crowd size was less than other popular water parks in the area such as Splash Lagoon. We spent a weekend at Splash Lagoon over the summer and while we did have a blast, the place was more on the packed side! People are definitely taking advantage of such a fabulous local Holiday Inn hotel at a killer price, it’s not overly crowded and for the most part people respected others and kept their distance.

The Holiday Inn Express also supplies towels!!! I always consider this a huge win at any pool. Less things for this mama to lug around.

The pool area opens at 10am and will close at 9pm sharp! So you will have a huge window of opportunity to take advantage of the sweet water park!!! I have a feeling this is why the pool area is never complete chaos. People are in and out all day long at different times! If the pool looks at tad bit people-y, come back later! 

Would we book the hotel again is the question that blew up my Instagram DM’s this weekend. It’s always funny to me that whenever I post resort photos anywhere online, the question people are dying to know is if I would go again lol.... I guess photos can be deceiving and y’all want the real tea! 

The answer is YES!!! We are huge Splash Lagoon fans, and honestly my husband & I feel cheated that we never hit up the Holiday Inn Express Waterpark when my daughter was a toddler! Y’all know how much cash we could have saved?!?! This water park is PERFECT for kids under 12! If your kiddos are not ready for mega slides, book this hotel instead and save yourself some dough! We are actually considering coming back for my daughters 9th birthday in March, that’s how much fun my daughter had. Perfect staycation spot for all of you Western New Yorkers & North West Pennsylvania dwellers!

I swear, when it comes to beauty brands, Dior Beauty wears the crown when it comes to best free gift with purchase!!!! This February, Dior did not disappoint. When you spentd $150 at your local Dior Beauty counter, you take home this chic Dior makeup bag filled with samples!

While the Dior Beauty Free Gift samples are exactly that, samples, the beautiful makeup bag is gorgeous. With the Dior logo right on the front! Not Dior Beauty, but just Dior making this an official Dior bag you snagged for free with your makeup purchase and in the color black so it matches EVERYTHING unlike the typical midnight blue most Dior products come in since blue is Diors staple color! This bag is a must add to cart item for any high end handbag collector!!! 

So head to your local Macy’s Dior Beauty Counter NOW to stock up on a few of your holy grails and snag a free Dior makeup bag while you can! 

To be 100% honest, I’m not really a pie fan! I know, literally the only one on the planet to be a hater! BUT Mc Donald’s pies?!? I don’t know why, but I have always found those to be absolutely delicious lol... 

Boxed pie crust is also a weird item I find absolutely yum. I guess I’m just a fan of “fake” food lol.... so when I discovered you can stuff pre made pie crusts with canned pie filling and the Tik Tok rumor was they taste like Mc Donald’s pies? I just had to make them!!!!

Serve & Enjoy 

Jell-O shot anyone?!?! It’s been FOREVER since I’ve made Jell-O shots!!!! I always have them on hand when we host company, but considering the times we’re living in, let’s just say it’s been awhile since I’ve hosted any get togethers! 

Candy & booze are two of my favorite things, so I finally caved and made a batch of delicious blue raspberry Jell-O shots for the hubby and I!!! So yummy, you won’t even realize they are loaded with vodka. 

Serve & Enjoy 

So I jumped on the air fryer sandwich train!!!! I honestly don’t know why I waited so long. While I’m not a huge fan of sandwiches. My taste buds want all the meat and potatoes lol..... my hubby & daughter beg for the things, so we have them pretty often!!!

First Sandwich we tried was a basic Air Fryer Grilled Cheese since I swear my 8 year old could live off of the things! While I’m not a huge basic grilled cheese fan myself, I must admit the air fryer gave these sandwiches a restaurant feel and taste! I didn’t mind eating the thing. Not a bad sandwich if a basic grilled cheese is your jam! I’m honestly never making a basic grilled cheese any other way again!

Serve & Enjoy!

I can’t get enough of air frying pie crusts!!!!!!! I think I have an addiction lol.... so yummy!! So crispy!!! I just can’t get enough lol....

My latest pie crust creation just happens to be Valentine’s themed!!! We are only days away you know. I took a heart shaped cookie cutter and made heart shaped cherry hand pies! So cute! So festive! Almost too cute to eat. 

Ingredients 

• Pre-Made Pie Crusts
• 5oz Can Cherry Pie Filling
• 1 Egg

Enjoy!

Omg it feels like it’s been forever since I’ve posted a Bath & Body Works haul!!!! Since I feel like I never leave the house, I just don’t go through my Bath & Body Works products as fast as I used to lol... my wallet is definitely thankful, but I have to admit, I do miss buying all the Bath & Body Works Scents ALL THE TIME and over sharing them like crazy!!!

Usually this time of year I’m stocking up on all things tropical since we head south for my daughter’s February Break from school. Since travel is not yet a thing for us New Yorkers thanks to travel restrictions, I thought I would dive into the Bath & Body Works Valentine’s collection this year!!!

The packaging is o so beautiful and girly, so I was pretty stoked to stock up on some new goodies!!!

Chocolate Covered Cherry ~ Literally smells EXACTLY like you would think! I smell cherry and then a hint of chocolate! I was actually worried when I scooped this one that it would smell like straight up chocolate and I would smell like a box of brownie mix was spilled on me, but thank goodness it’s a good mix!!! If chocolate or cherry is your jam, you will be pleased :) 

Strawberry Pound Cake ~ Such a classic! One of my favorite Bath & Body Work scents, so I was pretty stoked when they included a glammed up version of a favorite of mine!!! Bath & Body Works Strawberry Pound Cake literally smells like a bag full of strawberry candy!! Super sweet scent and very powerful, so only make this purchase if you’re a fan of over the top sweet, sugary scents.

Raspberry Jam Donut ~ Anyone remember the scent Sun-ripened Raspberry from back in the day?!! One of the first scents I remember from my childhood besides cucumber melon lol... well Bath & Body Works Raspberry Jam Donut literally smells like a new and improved version of the classic! Think Sun-ripened Raspberry turned up a notch scent-wise! 

Coconut Cream Pie ~ If tanning salons and tanning lotions are your fancy, you will love Bath & Body Works Coconut Cream Pie! Smells like spring break in a bottle!!! I’m a huge fan of tanning lotions with scent, so I’m all about coconut lotions especially when I’m traveling someplace nice and warm! 

Anyone else have a child absolutely obsessed with the tooth fairy!!! It literally breaks my daughters heart that she can’t actually meet the tooth fairy. So I’m always trying to come up with ways to make the tooth fairy extra fun and special since she can’t actually meet one of the most mysterious fairies of them all!!! That’s why I came up with the Tooth Fairy Tooth Report, Door Hangers & Envelopes!

Just print when your child’s tooth falls out, or you could even plan ahead and have a stack pre printed! Then let your kiddo fill out all the details, make a cute envelope & hang an adorable door hanger on their door.

​Enjoy :)

Everything is more fun when mermaids are involved right?!?! I spotted Blue Velvet cake mix. That’s right blue velvet! Who knew such a thing even existed?!? So I just had to make dunkaroo dip. 

The blue color reminded me of the ocean and I had a ton of mermaid sprinkles left over from when we made mermaid hot chocolate Bombs a few weeks back, so I made the dunkaroo dip mermaid themed!!!

Enjoy!

Too soon?!?! I can’t help but think of Spring folks!!!! Ughhhh!!! This whole stay at home forever life is driving me insane!!! Usually I’m planning outfits for our February Break escape to somewhere warm, but not this year. Sitting in freezing cold NY thinking of spring and summer days it is!!!! #FirstWorldProblems

I thought it would be fun for the kiddo to color all things spring since coloring has been one of her quarantine hobbies, so we decided to share the fun with y’all!!! Just click on the download links below, print and color away!!!!! 

Did you say pizza!?!? Literally my daughters favorite food. It’s all she wants to eat! Pizza, pizza, pizza every single day if it was up to her lol... 

I’m always trying to come up with new pizza creations, so when I spotted people making waffle iron breakfast sandwiches with a can of biscuits all over, my kind instantly went to pizza sandwiches!!!

So yum! So easy to make!!! Your whole family will enjoy!

Enjoy!!!

Happy February 1st y’all!!!!! So obviously that means it’s officially everything heart shaped season right?!?! To kick of the most girliest season of the year I decided to whip up a batch of heart shaped Poptarts!!!

I used pre made pie crusts and stuffed these things with strawberry jelly. Then tossed them into my new air fryer! I upgraded to the Ninja Foodie and omg!!!! So in love!!!!!! So be prepared to be spammed with all things air fried since I can’t stop using the thing!

Another hot chocolate bomb?!?  Well of course!!! I swear if you end up making these at home, only buy half the supplies you think you need. I swear my stash of hot chocolate bomb supplies is never going to end! Those bags of candy melts seem to last forever!!!
