Sharing is caring!

Disclosure: I am a member of the BHG Live Better Network. I received compensation from BHG at Walmart for this post. 

Are you hosting a holiday party this year or helping with one? We are finally in a home big enough for entertaining I am hoping to host a Christmas party this year. And that now that we have kids, as do most of our friends, kids will be included as well. So what better way to inlude them in the party than have a Christmas Cookie Decorating Station!

Christmas Cookie Decorating Station

Cookies For Santa Decorating Station! Great party activity for kids and adults.

 

And let’s be honest, I’m pretty sure it’s for the adults too. At least I’ll be diving in :)

Free Printable - Cookie Making Station

The holidays always seem to fly by and often times we end up scrambling at the last minute, like making ‘Cookies for Santa’ for Christmas Eve. With this Christmas Cookie Decorating Station your guests will have a fun activity at your party AND they can take some cookies home to leave out for Santa!

Christmas Cookie Toppings

Cookie Making Station for your next holiday party! Such a cute activity for kids and adults.

I love these square appetizer bowls from BHG at Walmart. They are the perfect size for holding candy and can be used again and again and again.

Put frosting in condiment jars to keep it mess free and easy to use!

When it comes to kid activities, you need to think about messes. I saw this idea of using squeeze bottles for frosting and it worked out perfect for this concept. It was mess free and also looks polished.

Christmas Cookie Decorating Station for kids or adults! Great party activity!

These little sprinkle containers are the only things pictured that weren’t purchased at Walmart. They were my Grandma’s and I absolutely adore them. I love being able to use her dishes for events!

    This is a fantastic idea for our family Christmas Eve party. I know the kids will love the idea of making a special cookie for Santa and I know that I will love it too!
    Also, your printables are going to make it so cute and festive.
    Thanks for the great idea and the great printables. Can’t wait to set this up!
    I think we have just found a new family tradition!

    HELLO,
    I WAS CURIOUS AS TO WHAT KIND OF ICING DID YOU USE FOR THE COOKIES? MY ICING IS SO THICK IT WOULDNT SQUEEZE OUT OF THE BOTTLES.’

      Hi – I generally make a basic frosting recipe using powder sugar, butter and a little milk. You can add more milk to make it thinner to help go through the bottles easier.

    As we are having a Crazy Christmas Sweater party this year, I decided to bake up some sweater shaped Sugar cookies. Tis will be great since the guests can ddesign their own Crazy (since not all are ugly) Sweater cookies.

    Okay, so I’m a very “silly” thinker, but do you think your (very cool) design idea could somehow transfer over to the bathroom? I was thinking, you take the same items.. Starting with the wooden tray, put various small toiletries or what-have-you in the little white dishes, maybe some of those soap flakes in the little drink holders, and shampoo and conditioner in the bottles. (Maybe change the bottles, though.)
    I also see it as a great idea for a small FROYO buffet! (((MMMMMmmmm, marshmallow creme…!!!)))

Have you thought about adding more smart home tech Have you thought about adding more smart home technology into your own home? #ad It's been something we have talked about a lot over the past year, and I am loving the new products we've recently added from @amazon and @ring to refresh our home! Check out this video to see how I use them in my everyday life and head to the blog to read more about each product and @alexa99 #askalexa #amazonhome #smarthome
Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee Guess what?! Both our leather sofa and drum coffee table are back in stock! We love both of these pieces from @overstock (gifted), and they are used daily around here. I will say when it comes to leather couches, we all give this one a 10/10, it’s incredibly comfortable and a piece you will have fore a looooong time.

One of my top questions is about the console table One of my top questions is about the console table in our entry way, I got it from Arhaus about 6 years ago and haven’t seen it in stock since... BUT they have two other ones on sale right now that have similar looks to them. I also rounded up a few more that will give you the same look. I linked them to this post in the @liketoknow.it app and will share in stories as well!

It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle nex It’s supposed to be in the 70’s in Seattle next week which means major work on the backyard will be taking place! Things are moving right along. Our exterior started to get a new paint job this week (see stories) which will be finished next week, we will finish layer the paver pathways and installing the new turf next week as well! Next up, landscape and lighting. I love how this space looks already, and I can’t wait to show you even more of it. 🖤

I will be the first to admit meal planning is not I will be the first to admit meal planning is not my strong suit, especially when life is so crazy busy right now. I'm all about easy meals and the quicker the better. But with all of our family food sensitivities and allergies meals can be a little trickier. I recently discovered @greenchef and I am so excited because they actually offer meal delivery service that caters towards different dietary needs, ie. gluten free, paleo, keto, etc. I tried it out last week and was super impressed. The meals come with all of the ingredients, all food allergies correctly labeled and most of the ingredients pre-cut for you. I timed both meals and they truly only took me 30 minutes to make and the flavors were so good. Swipe to watch the video!
