With Spring about to be “Sprung”…we’ve been springing around the house making subtle changes with the changing of the season. Nothing says spring like fresh greenery, bright moss, tulips, lavender, lillies and more. We stocked up on a few festive additions, took a peek in the Spring box and pulled out a few buckets of glittery goodness (literally). Turning flower pots topsy turvy gives a new purpose to plain ol’ potted plants….check out the...
A sweet sack with something special…our 3P way to socialize! Make these affectionate St Patrick’s Day favors in a flash to have handy when St Patty’s day pals pop up! May the luck o’ the Irish Be With You! This quick and kissable printable can do the trick in a pinch (not if you’re wearing green LOL) when served up with a few Hershey’s kisses ribboned up just right! Pastel colored Hershey’s kisses can be picked up during Spring time,...
They say everything comes back around…Jessi and I are always rediscovering dessert recipes past to reinvent. The truth is, neither of us are pastry chef savvy and our last course of the meal needs to be super simple or bakery-bought beautiful. What we once nicknamed Jello cake has now been updated to Jello Poke Cake, and what’s usually red Jello infused cake…3P transformed with a twist of lime to make this no fuss cake turn Leprechaun lovely. Lime...
Ready for a little “bubble and squeak”? This cleverly named English dish is similar to Irish “Colcannon”…and is the best way to use up St. Patrick’s Day leftovers! A traditional veggie and potato fry-up that gained it’s name not only from the “bubble and squeak” sounds made while cooking…but also from the “bubble and squeak” that can occur after eating…but so yummy it’s totally worth it! They say…”beans...
It’s NASCAR race week…and speaking of racing…have you ever been out racing out, hitting the sales and seen a gift that inspires you to party plan before you even reach the register? Our bargain hunt after Christmas led us to brainstorm a 3P portable “PARTY ON WHEELS” birthday bash for our dear friend Danny! An important 3P philosophy is to dream up a party perfect purpose before paying for your seasonal purchases…and boy did we! We celebrated...
It’s NASCAR week here in Vegas, which is a BIG deal for our city…and we recently raced like NASCAR drivers out of my Man Cave and into my friend Danny’s! Let me tell you…his cave is a total showstopper. We decided to do a small surprise birthday party for him at his office which his impressive Man Cave is next to. Everything “Vintage Car” absolutely amazes you as you enter! Take a peek… and for info on NASCAR happenings…check their site HERE! We...
Hmmm….split peas and pennies? Sounds like an odd recipe if you ask me. But with a quick dig through your spare change, a poke around the pantry, some 3P imagination and a little luck of the Irish…a simple and adorable St. Patty’s centerpiece comes to life. Gather your go-to trifle dish, individual dessert dishes, or even a hurricane glass or two…and fill with your spring-green leftover lentils…about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way full. If you need a bit...
A four leaf clover celebrates spring and a celtic lifestyle! So let’s stop and smell the corned beef and cabbage...or maybe an Irish staple: Steak and Ale Pie! Something a little different that will delight friends and family in a delectable way! Gavin baked up this hearty meat pie during a visit and we’ve been waiting for the perfect time to showcase this St. Patrick’s Day showstopper. Serve along side buttered peas, or a cucumber salad! Never hurts to add...
It didn’t rain but it poured…baby showers that is! We were invited to two other private baby showers and thought these pink and blue ideas for gifts and games galore were true examples of what to do when you’re planning your next baby event. Thought we’d drop a few ideas we’ve picked up lately before the stork makes his big delivery! 1. Unique gifting… “It’s Time to Potty!” This was our version of a baby gift basket gone toddler!...
