How to Create a Festive Italian Soda Bar

Tis the season to party!  I broke out my bar cart and put together an Italian Soda Bar.  While I like to stock up on the booze, I try to also include a fun, non-alcoholic option for kids, mama to be’s, and those that were kind enough to drive.  {TBH, I’m a bigger fan of sugar than alcohol so having a sweet option is always a win in my book.}  Keep reading to see my Christmas bar cart and how to create your own Italian Cream Soda party bar.

4 Important Things I’ve Learned By Working For Myself

Happy Monday! Today I’m sharing a work wear look that will be perfect for the office now and throughout summer. We’re also getting into the nitty gritty of what I’ve learned in the past year and a half of working for myself.
