I was provided with recipes, 5 boxes of Chex, $20 for party supplies, cute little to-go boxes, invitation templates, and party ideas by Chex through Myblogspark.com.

Mint Chocolate Rice Krispies Treats
This is a great little Rice Krispie Treat recipe that I made up. It turned out delicious. After my first success, I got so excited about putting my own little spin of one of my favorite treats that I decided to try another Rice Krispie Treat original creation. It was a disaster! Word to the…

Harry Potter Countdown: Butter Beer
Maybe you are like me. If you are you will love the next couple of posts. Maybe you aren’t like me. If your not, you will probably think I am obsessive and crazy. That’s ok. Your loss. If you are like me, you are counting down the days until the next Harry Potter movie comes…
