I've wanted to host a pie baking party for my daughters and their friends for a few years now. This party was delayed when Baby A got sick and then again when Covid hit last year. So we were awfully excited to finally get to host our Friendsgiving Pie Party. The idea...
Last year, when we couldn't have Thanksgiving dinner with family, my sister-in-law invited us to use her mountain home for the weekend. It was so good to get out of our house at that point in the pandemic. There is something so relaxing about being even an hour away...
If there were ever a Thanksgiving that called for 1) easy and 2) extra dessert, this is it. So here's how to make an easy Thanksgiving charcuterie board. I honestly can't believe it's taken me this long to make my first charcuterie board, but here we are. I bought...

Are you hosting Thanksgiving this year? I'm not. We're headed to my MIL's and a fabulous restaurant. It's completely non-traditional for us, but comfortable for her, and she's earned it. So I am totally off the hook, although I'm seriously considering making a pumpkin...

I owe a lot to Kori of Paper & Pigtails: she was the first blog to publish one of my parties (see my July 4th party here). With absolute honesty, I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to launch Double the Fun Parties without that boost from Kori. So, I'm...
I first created this Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Party for my daughters’ preschool class when they were four. It was really fun to dust it off, amp it up, and host it again for some of the same kids now that they’re six. Want to make this party part of your...
