Happy Everything

Given how I adore seasonal décor and looooove a good little celebration, I have been ogling the darling Happy Everything plates and attachments by Coton Colors for some time now.  So, you can imagine how thrilled (and shocked and completely flattered) I was when out-of-the-blue Coton Colors sent me their mini Happy Everything platter, stand and THREE attachments!!!

I was literally squealing with delight as I cleared off my counters and set out the plate with the timely “Count Your Blessings” attachment. Part of the company’s giving campaign, “Attached to a Cause,” 100% of proceeds from the sale of this attachment go directly to food banks and hunger relief charities across our country.  They have an amazing goal of serving 200,000 meals this holiday season!

I was beyond thrilled to also find the Elf attachment in the package, as this will be PERFECT to debut at our annual Scout’s Snowflake Breakfast and for the treats he brings each day in December! In fact, last year he left the Coton Colors Elf ornament for the littles under the tree on Christmas morning!

The Cheers attachment will certainly get plenty of use as well. Not only will it be set up in the living room armoire bar for New Years but it will be a darling way to cart my fare to Bunco and girls nights in.

These are just three of the forty ridiculously cute attachments available to dress up the mini platter. I bet y’all can guess what’s going to be on my Christmas list this year :-) (Don’t you love giving a gift that you can build on over time on birthdays and holidays?!?!) The toppers attach with a strong Velcro strip so it’s a snap to switch them out when your fancy strikes.

And as if the platters weren’t enough to knock your socks off, Coton Colors offers cookie jars, message boards and wooden wreaths, seasonal items, collegiate collections, customized holiday ornaments and even a cookbook.  Hop on over and check out all the goodies on their website, their Facebook page, and their blog!

Happy Everything, y’all!

Halloween 2012

Well y’all, Halloween 2012 went of without a hitch!  We helped out in Pumpkin Centers in the PCP’s class (showing off his veggie monster)… Sister and Bird came over to play and deliver adorable Halloween treats for the littles…   We dined on a delish supper of chili, cornbread, tombstone brownies (thank you Mimi for… Read More

Brainiacs

On the eve of Halloween, we sat down to dine on brains, of all things…brains for supper (angel hair pasta with marinara) and brains for dessert (sugar free jello with a few gummy worms).   I purchased the brain jello mold last year FREE (plus $2.95 shipping) from the Kraft Store last year and, as… Read More

Mummy Monday

After rave reviews last year, our Halloween Witch gave Mummy Monday another go round today!    The mummified menu consisted of bananas on sticks, white chocolate dipped pretzel rods and crescent roll wrapped hot dogs.  For all the gory details, hop on over to last year’s post.    Knowing how the littles love some suppertime… Read More

GT Homecoming

While the game itself left much to be desired, it didn’t put the slightest damper on 3/4 of our family’s Georgia Tech homecoming fun!  (Y’all have likely figured out that the odd man out in that equation is Honey…and that he was more than disappointed in his team’s performance.)  We arrived crazy early and spent… Read More
