Does that still exist? Please tell me it still exists. Of course I never partied, because I had first period classes on Fridays of my senior year – when Senioritis usually sets in. Since I didn’t drink at all then (or still), there were no hangovers at least. Besides that, I didn’t declare my major until the summer before my senior year, and you don’t call six journalism classes in one week “Senioritis”! As if Senioritis also entails Dean’s List, Phi Beta Kappa, studying on weekends, and choosing boys over drinking.
Des started the school year with three days of preschool and one day at his beloved daycare. Over time, the distance from Wednesday preschool until the next day he had it – Monday – stretched too far and too wide. He had Preschool Angst. So we added Fridays to his schedule, but then his other things suffered. He was too burnt out to do four days of preschool AND a day of daycare, and he was also growing weary of going to his grandparents’ house every other Thursday. So Thursdays are now our free-for-alls. We go on adventures together. I figure I’ll only get to do this so much until full-time kindergarten begins.
So that’s what brings me to party Thursdays. When you’re a blogger like me, somehow, generally you have the bulk of your work between Monday – Wednesday. I do sponsored posts on Fridays, brand-willing, or that’s a day I write for myself. Lately, I’ve needed to write for myself more than once a week. I’m up to 1-4 times a week! I hope you like it. I needed to mix it up, quite like Des did too. Thursdays are party days, I hereby decree, and party days need party treats, I also hereby decree.
My Beauty and the Beast movie tickets have been purchased for tomorrow night with Scarlet and her best friend’s family, and I’m pretty psyched to sit down and let the visuals dance in front of me. I always did love Cogsworth, which is why I love this treat. I know it looks pretty intense, but I assure you that you can make them too! So hereby declare your party day, and go make some treats! Or see a movie! Or dance with your underwear on your head, like Des does. Mix things up, party style!

Omg, these are so cute and ingenious, as well as perfect for the opening weekend of Beauty and the Beast!! 🙂
Thank you! We loved the move SO MUCH.
So cute! I can’t believe you made those Tamara! Hope you enjoy Beauty and the Beast. It looks like it will be amazing. 🙂
It was awesome. I saw it with Scarlet so I think my MIL will be taking both kids next weekend so Des can see it. He might get spooked by the wolf scenes, though!
Using marshmallow pies for the base is genius! The treats are adorable 🙂
Isn’t it? They’re such useful treats!
Oh my goodness, this is amazing! Don’t think mine would even turn out as good as these if I give it a try but I know Madison would want me to. I’ll let you know how mine goes. Enjoy Beauty and the Beast. It’s amazing!
I hope it goes well! It can be hard to find those marshmallow pies in some regions.
These are so cute! I am totally pinning this one. Way to go Tamara 🙂 P.S. I missed the whole Thursday night college party night, but my kids celebrate the almost end of the week every single week!
hah, I had ice cream last night and realized that’s what I was doing. I usually eat healthy and work hard all five days of the week, but I started my weekend a night early. No regrets!
These are adorable! Makes a perfect treat for a B & B themed birthday party.
Yes!! I really think I’ll make them for Scarlet’s birthday, and maybe Des’ too!
Adorable! I want to see Beauty and The Beast, but I may have to go alone. Don’t think I can talk my boys into it. I’ll have to check with Thomas to see if Thursday is still a party night – although he might not tell me the truth :)!
I love going to movies alone!! Des still hasn’t seen it. I know he’d love to see it with you!
THIS IS BRILLIANT! I swear you are getting more impressive with each DIY/yummy post!! These are so perfect and SO timely! LOVE it! <3
Thanks! But they almost look good to eat, right?
Another cute Beauty & the Beast cookie that would be perfect for a tea party. Thursday parties sound like fun, but I’m down for a party with my kids any day of the week. 🙂
Me too! Especially when the weather FINALLY gets good like now!
This is incredibly inspired!
I thought so too!
