To celebrate the beginning of Christmas break, we decided to do a fun holiday baking with the boys once they get home from school. We knew they’d be tired, so we made it as stress-free as possible!

After making a list, we went to Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery and found everything we needed at the best prices. We actually ended up finding a few things at Walmart that weren’t on our list, but made the decorating even more fun. This cupcake decorating kit is so cute and these Santa plates were the icing on the (cup​​​​​​​)cake. The boys loved decorating the cupcakes and we all had the best time! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Here are five tips for stress free holiday baking with toddlers:

5 Steps to Stress Free Holiday Baking with Toddlers

  • Order supplies from Walmart+ Online Pickup and Delivery: Walmart makes it so easy to shop for stress free baking with everything laid out right here. We ordered cake mix, frosting tubs, sprinkles, festive cupcake liners and cupcake picks; we also ordered cute paper plates and napkins for our decorating session, and colored ramekins to hold our decorating supplies and with our Walmart+ membership, everything was delivered just a few hours later!
  • Make cupcakes and frost them: We opted to do this during nap time, so everything was ready to go!
  • Distribute sprinkles and decorations among the ramekins: We used this four cell sugar mix, christmas tree sprinkle mix and this six cell assorted sprinkle mix.
  • Give each child a cupcake with frosting of their choice; we used chocolate and vanilla
  • Let them decorate their cupcakes using any and/or all of the decorating supplies… eat and enjoy!

Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery

September 15, 2020

It’s officially been six months since the last time I packed a school lunch for the boys. With school starting this week (eek!), it’s that time again​​​​​​. Over the past six months of staying at home, one of the major lifestyle changes we’ve made is doing our grocery shopping with Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery. We used to think that the shoppers wouldn’t pick out the best produce or we wouldn’t be able to get our favorite products, but our experience has been that the produce we receive is better than what we used to see in store and we can get all of our favorite organic products and snacks for the boys. But one of the best advantages to utilizing Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery is that it saves so much time and energy – and I need all the extra time and energy I can get! ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

The boys’ preschool is pretty strict on bringing healthy foods and we love that. I try to pack a colorful lunch that I know will give them lots of energy for playing and learning. I make my shopping list online via Walmart Online Pickup & Delivery (saving favorites that we buy a lot) and have the time and focus to make sure that everything I need is there before ordering. I love that Walmart Online Delivery windows are an hour long, so you know exactly when to expect your order.

There is a minimum order of $35 and a slight charge for delivery, but the products are all the same price as you would pay in store and, in the scheme of things, the delivery fee is nothing compared to the stress of shopping with three boys.

I always try to pack their lunches and snacks the night before school. Our mornings are always a little crazy and having one less thing to do can make a huge difference in how we start our day. Here’s what I’m packing in the boys’ lunches this week:

  • almond butter sandwich: we love dave’s killer bread around here and the boys eat almond butter almost every day! Plus, it’s so easy to make and stays fresh overnight in the fridge
  • fruit: the boys are loving strawberries so we are getting our fill while they are in season
  • pouches: the boys love these mango pouches and I love that they don’t taste the spinach in them – win/win
  • veggies: I quarter raw carrots and the boys love eating them for a crunchy snack.
  • cheddar bunnies: This is the thing they look forward to every day at lunch 🙂
  • yogis: For snack, I’ll pack the boys some fruit and they love yogis as special treat

We can find all of this and so much more using Walmart Online Pickup and Delivery service!

Our Favorite Summer Cocktail

June 23, 2020

tips for hosting a pool party

Happy Summer! We are living for these summer pool days, that turn into evenings and then enjoying our favorite cocktail by the pool before dinner.​​​​​​​

While we have been trying a lot of different cocktails so far this season, one of our all time favorites is this Rum Grapefruit Cooler that we’ve been making for years. We found the recipe in “Gourmet’s Parties” cookbook that focused on dining and entertaining and we’ve been making it every summer since. Having fresh mint growing in the garden makes this so easy to put together on a whim and the dash of Angostura bitters to top it off adds a a really special flavor- don’t skip that step :)​​​​​​​

Rum Grapefruit Cooler Recipe

*Serves 2

  • 4 mint springs
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2/3 cup fresh squeezed grapefruit
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice
  • 3 ounces light rum
  • Grapefruit flavored sparkling water (we use Waterloo)
  • Angostura bitters
  1. Muddle sugar, juices and mint leaves in the bottom of a cocktail shaker.
  2. Add rum and 1 cup of ice.
  3. Shake about 30 seconds.
  4. Strain into two glasses full of ice.
  5. Top with sparkling water and bitters.
  6. Garnish with mint sprig and enjoy!

Cheers,

Stia, Jean and Katherine
