Private Selection Upside Down Cake

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Private Selection for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

You know me and how much I LOVE to make and do things myself and from scratch if possible. But let's face it, life is busy and sometimes it's just not possible or a priority to make EVERYTHING yourself.

 

I cook a good homemade dinner most nights for my family. And every night after the kids go to bed, I crave something sweet. My girls inherited my sweet tooth too. But after cooking dinner I just don't feel like preparing a homemade dessert too. I want to wind down and relax. So, I tend to go for bought desserts.

 

Something else you may or may not know about me, is that I'm a Kroger shopper. I find quality food and reasonable prices there. The Private Selection brand is a premium private label brand with affordable prices carried exclusively at the Kroger Family of Stores and affiliated stores including: Baker’s, City Market, Dillons, Fry’s, Gerbes, Pay Less, QFC, JayC, King Soopers, Owen’s, Ralphs, Smith’s and Fred Meyer. One of their products are Upside Down Cakes. They are so easy! Just warm, flip, and serve.

 

 

They carry German Chocolate Fudge – with the classically irresistible combination of gooey caramel, pecans and coconut; Double Chocolate Molten – prepared with real butter, eggs, milk, and the finest semi-sweet chocolate; and Amber Honey Apple Spice – topped with apple slices drenched in a sweet amber honey glaze. Made with only the finest ingredients, they taste like homemade.

Show & Tell Features

Welcome back for the features from last Thursday's Show & Tell link party! I love seeing what you create each and every week.

If you are interested in taking a look at the rest of the link ups from last week's party, click here.

My Favorites:

Upcycled Treasures shows us how to create this burned wood look using printer paper and water! So cool. I will definitely be using this tip in the future.

Amy from SewsNBows did a great job on her Striped Bed Sheet Dress. I've always been a little nervous to make something from sheets even though I know a lot of people have done it. I think this project has convinced me to try it out.

When my girls point out a project they really liked, it just has to up as a feature. They loved this Button Pillow from Adventures of a DIY Mom. I do too for that matter.

Blissful and Domestic offers some great tips on how to Cut Your Grocery Bill in Half. It's a lot of info, so take the time to read it slowly and let it all sink in.

A Bright and Beautiful Life made some seriously good looking Pico De Gallo. Mmm.

And the most viewed link.....

Knock-Off Kate Spade Shoes by Southern State of Mind. So cute!

Easy Stamped Bookmarks

Everyone in our family loves to read. It's universal; from our parents down to our 18 month old. We actually have a serious book problem. They're everywhere and I don't have enough bookshelves to fit them all. Thanks to the Kindle we aren't collect quite as many on the shelves; although we do still get some paper books. I want to get rid of some, but they are really, really hard to part with.

For a long time I had this bookmark that I absolutely LOVED. It was made of some kind of metal that formed the word BELIEVE. Then I had kids and they bent and broke it. Sigh. Since then, I haven't had a real bookmark and it's beginning to bug me. So, I'm on hunt for the perfect bookmark.

I've also realized that a good bookmark would be a good small Father's Day gift for my husband. I actually have several bookmarks in the works and you will hopefully be seeing them soon.

This one was pretty simple and straight forward. I simply stamped headbands and used those as bookmarks that wrap around the book. I really like this cross one. Not only is it great for marking your Bible, but you can position the cross up or down on the page to mark where you left off.

I made the stamp by drawing a cross on a circular sponge and then cutting the shape out.

 All that was left after that, was to carefully place my stamp.

I really like the ease of use and the simplicity of these bookmarks. And I suppose if you still wanted to use it as a headband, you could......

Linking up to these link parties.

Foodie Friday: Fruit Roll Ups

Happy Friday!

I feel like I've been a little MIA this week. Mostly because I have been up to my eyeballs in strawberries all week long. I do this every year, but this year it has taken me for. ev. er. to make and can jam, freeze some fresh, and make fruit roll ups.

I love a good giveaway and wanted to share an amazing one with you today. Have you heard of CB2? They offer modern home design pieces to help you decorate your home. They really have some beautiful modern pieces.

Anyway, The CB2 family is partnering on their latest collection with husband-and-wife design duo Robert and Cortney Novogratz. Their latest collection debuted May 2nd, and was inspired by their vacation home in Brazil. It features pops of hot color mixed into warm wood, as well as range of items and price points, from the whimsical Luli Table Lamp at $129, to the sophisticated, modern Dupla Credenza at $499.

I personally tend to rely on a lot of neutrals when decorating and am still learning to step out of my box that way. The CB2 and Novogratz Collection is great for people like me who want to add color, but aren't always sure how. I love their pillows and the Dupla Credenza. They are simple, but bright and beautiful. And look at this gorgeous sectional couch!

I am in love with this faux coral from Twigg Studios! And the best part is, it's a tutorial so I can learn how to make my own.

This french cottage dining table from Upcycled Treasures is gorgeous. You should see the before pics. Great transformation!

Redesigned by M did a fantastic job cleaning up and decorating her boyfriend's tiny bachelor pad. Again, you've got to see what it looked like before.
