Our Tea Party with Cadbury Ice Cream Bars #CadburyHighTea



My daughter and I hosted our very first tea party last week courtesy of Mom Select and Blue Bunny ice cream.  We received a 'High Tea' host kit that included tea sets, hats and yummy Cadbury ice cream bars to share.  We started by setting the table for tea and putting out some things for our guests to nibble on.

I kept it simple by serving some cookies and fresh fruit.  When our guests arrived we visited, the girls played and then worked on coloring and designing their own placemats for tea.


When the girls were satisfied with their artwork and they had their first sips of tea (or apple juice at this party) we moved on to a musical game of "Pass the Hat".  The game is a simpler version of musical chairs where the party guests sat in a circle and one guest starts with the hat on their head.  As the music starts the hat gets passed until the music stops. Whoever is wearing the hat when the music turns off is out for that round until a winner is declared.  We played multiple rounds of the game with the same winner each time!   Another fun game we played was a teabag toss where we took turns tossing bags of tea into a larger teapot on the table.


When the games were done it was time for the main event ~ Cadbury Ice Cream Bars.  We had four different flavors to try:

Cadbury Royal Dark - Creamy Blue Bunny reduced fat vanilla ice cream dipped in thick, rich Cadbury royal dark chocolaty coating. 

Cadbury English Toffee- Creamy Blue Bunny reduced fat toffee ice cream dipped in thick, rich Cadbury chocolaty coating with toffee pieces 

Cadbury Caramello -  Creamy Blue Bunny reduced fat vanilla ice cream swirled  with caramel sauce all dipped in thick, rich Cadbury milk chocolaty coating. 

Cadbury Vanilla Chocolate - Creamy Blue Bunny reduced fat vanilla ice cream dipped in thick, rich Cadbury milk chocolaty coating.  

The Royal Dark and Caramello flavors were the popular choices at the party with most girls choosing those.  I was the odd one out trying the English Toffee ice cream bar which I loved.  The ice cream was cold and smooth with a delicious crunch of chocolate and toffee on top.  Since the party I've also tried both the Caramello and the classic Vanilla Chocolate and I can honestly say they are all delicious.  I can never have too much chocolate, but this blend of vanilla and chocolate is truly perfect and the bars are a perfect snack size to share with the kids.


After our treats it was time for our guests to go home, but before they left we took this lovely group photo.  The girls loved their new fascinators that they got to take home with them!  Overall I think our first time hosting tea was a success and I have a feeling there will be many more tea parties in my daughter's future!  

Disclosure:  I received the party kit as part of a promotional program with Cadbuty and MomSelect.  All opinions are 100% mine.

King of Bad Book Blast and $100 Giveaway

Welcome to the King of Bad book blast to introduce you to this book plus give you the chance to win a $100 Amazon Gift Card or PayPal Cash!  Keep reading to learn how to enter (ends August 15th).

  King of Bad
King of Bad Jeff Mean would rather set fires than follow rules or observe curfew. He wears his bad boy image like a favorite old hoodie; that is until he learns he has superpowers and is recruited by Super Villain Academy – where you learn to be good at being bad. In a school where one kid can evaporate all the water from your body and the girl you hang around with can perform psychic sex in your head, bad takes on a whole new meaning. Jeff wonders if he’s bad enough for SVA. He may never find out. Classmates vilify him when he develops good manners. Then he’s kidnapped by those closest to him and left to wonder who is good and who is bad. His rescue is the climactic episode that balances good and evil in the super world. The catalyst – the girl he’s crushing on. A girlfriend and balancing the Supers is good, right? Or is it…bad?  

kai   Author Kai Stand When the electricity winked out, Kai Strand gathered her family around the fire and they told stories, one sentence at a time. Her boys were rather fond of the ending, “And then everybody died, the end.” Now an award winning children’s author, Kai crafts fiction for kids and teens to provide an escape hatch from their reality. With a selection of novels for young adult and middle grade readers and short stories for younger children Kai entertains children of all ages, and their adults.

YOYO Lip Gloss Contest and Giveaway

I received product in exchange for this post.


If you have any tween or teen girls in your life I'm betting they are lip gloss fans always wanting to try out the latest flavors and packaging.  I know this because my daughter is not even five yet and the minute she saw the latest lip gloss from Justice she immediately claimed it as her own.  She didn't care that it happened to have her mommy's initial "J" on it she just knew it was sparkly and pretty which meant she had to have it.  The fact that it was bubble gum scented made her happier and then when she found out she could clip it to her clothes and wear it too she was even more excited.




The product that brought my daughter such happiness is the new Rhinestone Initial YOYO Lip Gloss from Justice.  The lip glosses only available in Justice Shops and at ShopJustice.com come in in 17 different initials and two different flavors, bubble gum and grape.  The lip glosses are on a retractable clip which just adds to the fun.

YOYO Lip Gloss is running awesome contests every week through September 15th via their social media sites.  Each week there will be 2-3 winners of a New Justice YOYO Retractable Lip Gloss.  Head to the contest page to read the details and be sure to follow their pages for your chance to win:

Signed #Book Giveaway ~ Open by Craig Gross #getopen



Get inspired and energized with this new, life-changing book, Open, by Craig Gross, available now wherever books and eBooks are sold.

Doesn’t it feel great when you find a book that really inspires you? Something that really gets you motivated to live and love better?  

Author and speaker, Craig Gross, is helping men and women all over the country do just that.  In his new book, Open, Craig is letting you discover a life of freedom, confidence and success by being honest and transparent with people you truly hold dear.

How would getting more "open" benefit YOU in your life and relationships? 

Hear why Craig believes this message of "openness" for FAMILIES is so important:


"Open" is for families because "Open" is for everyone. Yes, accountability is helpful for individuals; it can help men become better husbands and fathers and women become better wives and mothers, and accountability can help young believers grow into a more mature faith. But beyond showing the individual benefits of accountability, "Open" shows that an honest, forgiving, caring, consistent, and respectful dialogue within a group dynamic--including families--serves only to make that group stronger and closer together. Your family relationships are forever and will outlast all others--why not make them open?
- Craig Gross, author of Open 

The Giveaway:  Thanks to Thomas Nelson one lucky winner will received a signed copy of the book Open by Craig Gross.  Enter using the rafflecopter form below.  Good luck!
