Life, Family, and Home - Simplified & Sweetened
Last weekend we kicked off college football season. That gets me in the mood for party foods, appetizers, and dips! Today I decided to create a round up of dips, but rather than serving these next to your chips, veggies, and hot wings, you’ll need to put out some cookies and fruits to dip in. That’s right! All of today’s dips are Dessert Dips! Yum! Hope you enjoy these! [Read more…]

When planning a party, the drinks you serve can make just as big a statement as the food and decor. And Oddka Vodka certainly makes a statement with their five unconventional flavors: Apple Pie, Electricity, Fresh Cut Grass, Salty Caramel Popcorn, and Wasabi.
Premium spirits and wine company Pernod Ricard launched this new brand of vodka, ODDKA® by Wyborowa in October 2012. ODDKA is available in 750 ml bottles in original, clear vodka and is currently available in Alabama, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island, and will be expanding its national and global distribution in spring of 2013.
To introduce you to ODDKA, we have Wit Oddoski, the voice and inspiration of the ODDKA brand is Wit Oddoski, a virtual character in the real world. Wit was born as a 2-D line drawing, a rare condition that leads him to view the world a bit differently than others.
You’ll love his fun personality, sense of humor, and enthusiasm for his brand!
Here are just a few fun ideas on how you can add ODDKA Vodka to your next party.
Oddka’s Apple Pie flavor has a sweet taste of apples and cinnamon and mixes best with Fanta, Coke or Ginger Ale. After the presents are opened and the turkey is gone, serve up some holiday cocktails using this festive flavor. Or even break out the Apple Pie vodka for the 4th of July.
Or throw a movie themed party! Have a movie marathon of your favorite series or with a particular movie genre, or even watch your favorite series on DVR. (I love Game of Thrones!) And serve up Oddka’s Salty Caramel Popcorn Vodka. It mixes best with Fanta, Ginger Ale, Coke or Iced Tea.
Or serve up a little Fresh Cut Grass at your next football party or barbecue. It’s crisp, citrusy, sweet and refreshing and mixes best with Dr. Pepper, Ginger Beer or Soda Water.

Planning a wedding, shower, or a holiday party? As you know the holidays are a busy time, and if you’ve got a party or event to plan, it can be very stressful, especially if you are doing the work at the last minute. But it really helps if can find everything you need in one spot. eFavorMart.com can help you get stocked up on all the decorations, favors, and other supplies you need, so that you can back to the rest of the planning.
They have lovely table decorations, including table cloths, runners, centerpieces, candles, placecard holders, chair covers and sashes.
They also have sweet party favors for all occasions, including wedding bubbles and cute favor bags and boxes for weddings and all occasions.
I especially love their collection of baby shower favors. They have a lot of cute things that would be perfect to tie in to favor bags or use as cupcake toppers like little bottles, pacifiers, and stores, and then they have larger boy and girl toppers, as well as baby blocks, and cute baby candles.
They also have everything you need to make your own flower arrangements, bouquets, corsages, and decorated favor boxes, included silk flowers, sprays, ribbon, beads, tulle, and so much more.
And if you’re planning a wedding or bridal shower, they have the cake stands, cupcake stands, cake toppers, and even the wedding cake fountain to help you set up up aprofessional and elegant looking cake.
And they sell really great “lot” packages in various colors. These are assortments of decorations and accessories, which are not only a great deal, but also help you to get a lot of the stuff you in in one package.
