Blessing Mix

November 23, 2021

Happy Thanksgiving week! Last week at pre-school, Ford’s teacher did the sweetest activity with the class. Each student brought an item and together at school they made a “Blessing Mix.” My older boys loved the idea of the Blessing Mix and wanted to make it to bring to their friends before Thanksgiving. This was such a fun and easy idea to do together and using our Walmart+ membership made it stress free!

Blessing Mix Ingredients

Bugles: Represent the cornucopia, the horn of plenty
Pretzels: Arms folded in thankfulness and prayer
Hershey Kiss: Reminder of friends & family that make life so sweet
M&Ms: Memories of those that came before
Cheerios: Representing God’s unending love
Popcorn: Stands for the abundance of the harvest

Everyone is home from school this week for Thanksgiving, so we decided it was the perfect time to make the blessing mix for their friends. We utilized our Walmart+ membership for unlimited free delivery on fresh, high-quality groceries and ordered all the ingredients we needed to make these fun, last-minute Thanksgiving treats for our friends. Not only were we able to order all the ingredients we needed, but we were also able to order the treat bags and orange ribbon to complete our project. With the Holidays in full swing, my Walmart+ membership will be so helpful when I run out of every day ingredients, need for a fun craft for the boys, need to bring an appetizer to a holiday get-together or realize I’m out of diapers for Ford (it happens!).

I use my Walmart+ membership all the time for unlimited free delivery ($35 minimum) order. With three little ones at home, I can easily shop for fresh, high-quality groceries from the comfort of my home. It makes holiday entertaining stress free! If you haven’t started a Walmart+ membership, we highly recommend joining before the busyness of the Holiday season! I have saved so much time/stress this year by using my membership. Plus, right now you can try it out with a free trial! My favorite part is the unlimited free delivery ($35 minimum) and free shipping, no order minimum (Excludes most marketplace items, locations & freight surcharges).

Hoping you all can enjoy a happy, stress free Holiday season with a Walmart+ membership!

Thanksgiving Snack Board

November 9, 2021

The Holiday countdown is on! We are less than three weeks away from Thanksgiving… we can hardly believe it! In an effort to slow down and enjoy quality time with family and friends, we are planning to make a Thanksgiving Snack Board as an easy and convenient way to feed guests while waiting for the big meal! Less plates, lots of different food options and easy clean up! Walmart has the best selection to fill your Thanksgiving snack board, making it so convenient to shop for and put together! Whether you prefer pre-cut cheeses or selecting your own, Walmart has so many selections to choose from.

We have so much fun picking out both unique and familiar items for snack boards and love coming up with new ideas. For this Thanksgiving inspired snack board, we wanted to pull out some fall colors, ie: pomegranate and orange. To get started; find a pretty cheese board and cheese knives, lots of different cheeses, olives, nuts, salami, dried fruit, etc., and you are well on your way to a yummy snack board that is pretty and easy!

Some of new items we found at Walmart for our snack board are Cranberry Habanero Cheddar, Dubliner Cheddar and this mini Mozzarella ball salad. We found honeycomb, dried orange slices, glazed pecans, dried figs and cranberries, adorable mini pecan tarts and the cutest miniature apples! Walmart also has our tried and true snack board items; Manchego cheese, salami, grapes, crackers, and baguettes to slice.

You can also find the perfect serving pieces for your Thanksgiving Snack Board at Walmart. We found this beautiful marble and brass cheese board – it’s the best size for a large gathering! These cheese knives are beautiful, these little bowls are useful additions for mustards and jams, and this vase and cocktail napkins are the perfect finishing touches.

Bon appétit!

Soup Season

October 19, 2021

The weather in Dallas has been unusually hot for this time of year! So when we heard we were getting a “cold front” we immediately wanted to make our favorite soup for dinner.

I ordered our groceries using my Walmart+ membership for free same day delivery from your store ($35 minimum. Restrictions apply) We’ve been cooking our way through this cookbook and the Creamy Tortilla-less Soup became a favorite! I knew I would have my groceries in time to prepare dinner and I was able to get all the fresh, healthy ingredients I needed.

I love utilizing my Walmart+ membership because of free same day delivery on groceries and more ($35 order minimum, restrictions apply), saving me time and stress. I don’t have to find an opportunity to go to the store or haul the boys along and I always get the fresh, healthy ingredients I’m looking for. And I know the prices for Walmart+ are always Walmart’s everyday low prices with no markups on any items. It’s a win-win-win every time, making my life as a busy mom so much easier!

PS: There are many more benefits of a Walmart+ membership than free same-day delivery on groceries and more ($35 order minimum. Restrictions apply.) You can read all of the benefits of a Walmart+ membership and sign up to start your free trial. You’ll love it!
