Styling an Ice Cream Bar Cart

It’s official- summer is here and we couldn’t be happier! Summer entertaining is one of our favorite things to do and we’re finding so much inspiration at Walmart Home. In our family, summer nights usually end eating ice cream. We found this easy to use ice cream maker at Walmart Home and decided to try our hand at making our own homemade ice cream!

The whole process only takes about 20 minutes, so we decided to set up a cute ice cream bar for the boys for after dinner treats. We placed the ice cream maker, these cute ice cream cups and spoons, colorful napkins and all the toppings on this adorable bar cart that we also found at Walmart Home. We love this white vase and it was the perfect filler for the bottom of the bar cart! The bar cart can be used both indoors and outdoors, and it was the perfect way to serve up our ice cream. The boys love making homemade ice cream and we love making it fun and festive. If your family prefers a more traditional ice cream maker, Walmart also has this one available that looks like an old fashioned ice cream churn– so cute!

PS: This would be so easy to translate to other summer treats like a snow cone party, frozen yogurt, or even a frozen margarita setup for the adults!

Blood Orange Margarita Recipe

It seems like every year when spring rolls around, and it starts getting a little warmer, our thoughts go straight to summer. Meaning that we’re spending lots of time in and by the pool, dining on the patio and mixing delicious cocktails.

We love to experiment with new recipes, so when we spied blood oranges in the grocery store, we decided to see what we could mix up. Lately our go to cocktail has been a margarita made by our favorite bartender- Stia’s husband. He has it down to an art! We thought adding some blood orange juice would be interesting… and it is so good! For as long as blood oranges are in season, the blood orange margarita is our new go to!

Blood Orange Margarita

Makes 1 cocktail

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. good quality tequila (we use Casamigas Blanco)
  • 1 oz. Cointreau (orange liquer)
  • Juice from 1/2 large blood orange
  • Juice from 1 lime
  • Agave nectar to taste (we use a small squeeze, use more if you prefer a sweeter drink)
  • Topo Chico sparkling mineral water

Mix all ingredients well in a double old-fashioned glass. Add ice to fill and stir well again. Top with a glug of Topo Chico. Enjoy!

Cheers,

Stia, Jean and Katherine

Easter Basket Fillers from Walmart

This time of year is always busy for us. Within a one month span we celebrate five family birthdays, so Easter really snuck up on us this year! Being that it is this weekend, we decided to utilize Walmart’s Online Pickup & Delivery service to order all the fillers for the boys’ Easter baskets. Walmart has the best selection of fun toys, Easter specific items and candy for Easter baskets. Not to mention, Walmart carries so many of our favorite grocery items, too.

Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery is such a great service for those with busy schedules. Prices are always the same low prices as found in store and never any hidden fees. Walmart Online Pickup is always free, while there is small charge for the Walmart Delivery service and a $35 minimum order applies. I am always happy to pay a small fee for the stress free convenience of not having to shop with three little ones in tow!

While the boys were sleeping, I was able to order everything I needed to fill their Easter baskets and it was all delivered to my door in just a few hours. So easy and so cute! Here’s what I ordered:
