GET SUPERBOWL READY

Thursday, January 26, 2017

GET SUPERBOWL READY
We are inching our way closer + closer to February 5th! Are y’all getting excited about The Big Game?! We certainly are. We are in the habit of liking individual players and therefore liking the team for whom they play. Dak Prescott is the perfect example of what I’m referring to. We like Dak – which equates to us liking the Dallas Cowboys. We were pulling for them to make it to the Superbowl this year but that didn’t work out like we had hoped.
But even though the team we were rooting for didn’t make it, we are still big fans of football + look forward to watching the Falcons beat the Patriots come February 5. #Ahem I’m not 100% sure if we’ll even host a Superbowl Party or not, but if we do, I’ve got the decoration details covered. I spent a little bit of time designing invites + a banner that I think turned out pretty cute for an occasion such as the Superbowl, or really anytime you’re up for hosting a football themed get-together.

Today, I'm sharing with you THE BIG GAME Invites + the GAMETIME Banner I designed along with some super simple things you can serve to make your Football Party a success. Let’s have a look, shall we?

Pretty cute, huh? Here are some tips on how to pull this off.

Decorations

Serve
  • Brownie Footballs. I used packaged brownie mix (this one) and store bought icing (this one).
  • Buffalo Chicken Bites with Blue Cheese Dip. (I purchased a large bag from Coscto.)
  • Green Apples
  • Popcorn
  • Sweet Tea

Enjoy + have a great time at your Superbowl (or football) Party!

WYATT'S FIRST FLAG FOOTBALL GAME

Monday, September 12, 2016

 I truly never thought this day would ever come. Turns out, you can only press your desires onto your children so much. Sports have always been a thing that Brad + I both loved and wanted our kids to enjoy and participate in. We had given tee-ball, buddy-ball, and basketball a try, but Wyatt's heart was never in it - evidenced by him running up and down the basketball court with his arms out like an airplane during nearly every game last year. =/


Thankfully, his love for Taekwondo hasn't diminished.

But last week, we were driving in the car and he asked if he could play football this year. I don't recall his exact words but he mentioned something regarding the men that play in the Superbowl. The next day he asked Brad about playing, so I took it upon myself to see if signing up for the flag-football league was still an option.

It was!

I picked him up from school and told him the great news last Friday. We picked up some hand-me-down cleats at the local Play It Again Sports ($9.99 Nike's were a total steal) and a PeeWee football.

And then Sunday, after church and lunch (#Priorities) we arrived at Field #2 for Wyatt's first EVER flag football game. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves for a bit and fill you in more at the end.
