- The Eras Tour Confetti DIY Shadow Box
If you follow my blog or know me in real life, then you know I attended The Eras Tour and got to see Taylor Swift for the first time in person! I took my daughter on a little girls' road trip and we got dressed up like the Swifties we are and had THE BEST NIGHT together singing, dancing, and trading bracelets. It was seriously so much fun! We were lucky enough to score some floor seats and when Taylor sang All Too Well, the most magical "snow" fell all over us. It went perfectly with the line in verse 6 that goes, "I still remember the first fall of snow, And how it glistened as it fell, I remember it all too well". Here are some screenshots from my videos of that night! I'll save you from hearing us screaming at the top of our lungs, ha! My daughter and I collected a few handfuls of the confetti, but when we got home we didn't know what to do with it. We finally decided to create this The Eras Tour Confetti DIY Shadow Box to showcase our confetti and a photo of us to remember the night. The Eras Tour Confetti DIY Shadow Box Supplies: Shadow Box Paper ( glitter blue ) Cricut (I have a Cricut Joy ) Removable vinyl ( blue and silver and transfer tape ) Tools like weeder, scraper , and glue to attach your photo. Directions: Using Cricut design space, create your text for the frame of your shadow box. I chose to put the words, "The Eras Tour" on top and the date we attended, and Swift City (that was the name Glendale, AZ changed to for the weekend Taylor Swift played there) on the bottom. Make sure to measure your frame and size your words so that your words fit on your frame. Next, choose a lyric that you feel suits the vibe or song you are capturing. Honestly, there are so many good lyrics you can choose. Maybe you even want to put your "surprise songs" names on yours. Feel free to make it your own! Obviously, mine are from All Too Well 10 minute version. Create the lyrics mentioned above in Cricut design space and cut them out with your cricut. Carefully attach them to your glass in the frame. Make sure it doesn't go too far to the edge and gets covered when you put the glass back in the frame. Also keep in mind the color of the confetti that will be behind your lyrics so you can make sure it stands out. Print your favorite picture (or pictures) from the night! I printed one that I had cropped to be square on a 4x6 photo paper and cut it to look like a Polaroid photo in our frame. A nod to 1989 if you will. Measure and cut your background paper to fit the back of your frame. We were going for a blue and silver vibe so we did blue paper to highlight the white confetti but if you have the Eras-colored confetti or the leaf confetti, you may want a different vibe all together. Lastly, put your confetti in the open shadow box and close it all up. It's fun to display and give a shake every now and then like a snow globe! Here were my paper choices. I'm glad I went with the glittery blue! This project was so off and on for me. You would think it would come together in an afternoon but with work and issues with vinyl, it just didn't happen as quickly as I would have liked. I mainly had issues with the permanent vinyl I tried to use on the project first. We absolutely love how it turned out though! If you make a confetti shadow box like ours, please tag us on social media so we can see it!

- Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies
We are less than 1 month away from getting Taylor's Version of 1989 and I'm here for it. You know I'm a swiftie and if you haven't seen our Friendship Bracelet Lover House , Lavender Haze Cocktail , or Concert Confetti Shadow Box , go check them out. If you have seen them, let's add something new to our Taylor Swift content - Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies! During her original launch of 1989, Taylor hosted Secret Sessions, where she invited fans to a secret album listening events and she made these Chai Cookies to bring to them. Yes, Taylor bakes! You can check out her 2014 Tumblr post where she shares her cookie recipe. These cookies would be a great addition to an album-listening Taylor Swift party ! Taylor Swift's Chai Cookies Cookie Ingredients: 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature 1/2 cup vegetable oil, such as canola or sunflower oil. 1/2 cup granulated sugar 1/2 cup powdered sugar 1 large egg 2 teaspoons vanilla extract, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean 2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 or 2 chai bags, cut open Icing ingredients: 1 cup powdered sugar 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon 3 tablespoons milk or eggnog (Taylor called them TAYblespoons and it's so frickin cute!) Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or grease generously with butter or cooking spray. 2. Using a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the butter in a large bowl on medium speed for about 1 minute. Add the vegetable oil. It may not fully incorporate with the butter, but that’s okay. Add the granulated sugar, powdered sugar, egg, and vanilla, beating on medium speed until each ingredient is completely incorporated. 3. In a large bowl, add the flour, baking soda, and salt. Cut open and add 1 or 2 chai bags. Mix well to combine. Slowly add flour mixture to the butter mixture, until a soft dough forms. 5. Refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or freeze for 15 minutes just so it’s easier to handle. 6. For large cookies, dollop 2 Tablespoons of cookie dough onto the cookie sheet about 2 inches apart. For smaller cookies use 1 Tablespoon for each cookie. Press the dough evenly with your fingers or palm to 1/4-inch thickness. 7. Bake for 12 to 14 minutes for larger cookies or 8 to 10 minutes for smaller cookies. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before transferring to racks to cool completely. For the icing: 1. Mix together your ingredients for the icing and drizzle on top of your cookies. Adjust the milk and powdered sugar as needed to get the consistency you like the best. 2. Drizzle or spread on your cookies. I sprinkled mine with a little bit of cinnamon to finish them off. The cookies will keep for 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container. As Taylor would say, " bakers gonna bake bake bake bake bake." Happy almost 1989 Taylor's Version!

- Taylor Swift Eras Inspired Books
Hello, fellow Swiftie bookworms! I'm here today with some book recommendations for you! Taylor is a beautiful storyteller so it only makes sense that many of us Swifties would be book lovers as well. The US leg of the Eras tour may be over but our addiction to all things Taylor hasn't. Since one of my goals for this year was to read more books, I thought it would be fun to curate some Taylor Swift Eras Inspired Books. This list contains one book that I feel fits the overarching theme of each album. I had waaaay too much fun creating this post and can't wait to dive into these Eras-inspired books. Taylor Swift Books for Each Era Let's start at the beginning with Taylor Swift aka "Debut" For Taylor Swift , we are recommending My Life As A Country Album by EJ Evans Now, I'll be honest, I know this album the least, but regardless, my overall views of it are that it's young and fresh, and you still have a wide-eyed view of the world. You yearn to be more grown-up than you are. My Life as a Country Album is about Cam, a small-town girl experiencing her first love with the boy next door. It's told in a diary-esque way and is sweet like sweet tea y'all. With first love comes a little bit of heartbreak, and you can just picture Cam signing "Teardrops on My Guitar" as you read it. Fun fact, the author stated the book was inspired by Taylor's song "Begin Again", but we still think it is a perfect "Debut" inspired read. Our Fearless TV -inspired book recommendation is Stargirl By Jerry Spinelli . Fearless is a little more about figuring things out, finding friendships, and life from a high school girl's perspective. Stargirl is about a free-spirited high school girl. She was previously homeschooled and now she's going to a public high school where she's the "quirky outcast". People call her different from them and maybe even a little weird. Stargirl however is a genuinely kind person and embraces her individuality, even when the other kids are making fun of her. We love this brave story about nonconformity! Taylor Swift has even said that Stargirl inspired her ! If you like Speak Now TV , we recommend you check out When Women Were Dragons by Kelly Barnhill . Speak Now is feminine and a bit fairytale-esque with a current of trauma that runs beneath the surface. When Women Were Dragons is a tale about the changes we go through to become ourselves. It talks about the 1955 Mass Dragoning event where thousands of women turned into dragons - growing scales, sprouting wings, and taking to the skies leaving a trail of fiery destruction in their wake. The story follows a young girl as she unravels this forbidden story. Why did some women turn into dragons while others did not? This book is all about a world that wants to keep women small, and how they rise up and take up the space they deserve. Our Red TV -inspired book recommendation is My Dark Vanessa by Kate Elizabeth Russell . To me, the theme of Red is turbulent relationships and the rollercoaster of emotions that come with them. "All Too Well 10-minute version" is a hit that stands out from this album and we think My Dark Vanessa is a good read that feels inspired by All Too Well. This book explores the tumultuous relationship between a teenage girl and her teacher, who professes to love her. But, when rumors of him abusing another student start to surface, Vanessa begins to see how much he manipulates her. How their relationship wasn't really what she thought it was. Maybe she's not unique, and maybe he's a predator. It screams "You kept me like a secret but I kept you like an oath". Whew, that last one cut deep. Let's lighten the mood with 1989 TV! Our 1989 TV - inspired book is French Kissing in New York by Anne-Sophie Jouhanneau . 1989 is very much all about big city lights, late nights on the town, rooftop bars, being young and having fun dating. French Kissing in New York is a romance novel about a young woman who moves to New York City, bustling with energy. We follow Margot on her journey to find her place as a chef in the restaurant scene. She can't stop thinking about a guy she met last year in Europe and hopes she can find him. Anything is possible in the big city! Full of food, friendship, and fate. If you like Reputation , you may enjoy Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard . Reputation is giving anger, vengeance, and betrayal...and we all know the story behind "Look What You Made Me Do". The book Red Queen is set in a dystopian world of betrayal and lies, where royals have superpowers, and the world is divided by red and silver-blooded people. We follow Mare, who has been raised in poverty by the Reds. When she discovers she has powers, the Silvers want to cover this up. In this tale of treachery, she is forced to play the political game that the Silvers play. Power is a dangerous game and the only certainty is betrayal. Our Lover -inspired book recommendation is Autoboyography by Christina Lauren . The Lover Era is purple-pink clouds, fun-loving, and a bit of whimsy. Autoboyography feels like it's written perfectly for this album. Even the cover is Lover coded in my opinion. We get to know Tanner, a bisexual teen, and Sebastian a gay boy, in this touching love story. While one boy has the support of his family, society pretends they don't exist. This story is all about coming out, embracing yourself, and living your most authentic life. Everyone in this town just needs to "Calm Down". For related reads, check out our LGBTQA+ Books for Kids and Teens . Our Folklore book recommendation is Adelaide by Genevieve Wheeler . Folklore is full of romanticism, exploring yourself, and finding peace within. Adelaide, is a story about Adelaide, an American living in London who falls in love with a charming Englishman. Is he "The One? As she pours herself into their relationship, she begins to lose herself a little, as he doesn't quite reciprocate the love she's giving him. He's a good guy, but does he really love her for her? She starts to get a bit desperate for his love and it starts to become a little self-destructive. This book feels very "This is Me Trying", "Mirrorball" "August", "Exile" and "The One" all rolled into a book that takes on mental and emotional health while being highly functional. For the Evermore girlies, we think you should check out Weyward by Emilia Hart . Evermore has witchy vibes of connecting with nature in an ivy-covered cottage. In Weyward, we follow three powerful women at different points in history, as they discover the gifts that bind them and set them apart. They each battle the patriarchy and the expectations that society has put on them, and as women as a whole. They find their inner power through their connection with nature. While there are no spells, there is magic weaved into the pages of this story. It's been on my TBR list since fall when I featured it in 13 Witchy Books for Fall . I'm hoping I can get it read soon! Our Midnights -inspired book recommendation is The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark . Midnights is the album about 13 sleepless nights, but as Taylor mentions, it's also about the "floors we pace and the demons we face". The Lies I Tell is a story of two women who are seeking justice for their pasts and hope to rewrite their futures. It's a bit of "Vigilante Shit" and "Karma", as one woman is a con artist who can change who she needs to be to get the job done and the other is out for revenge. This book is a quick-paced thriller with strong protagonist female characters. Our TTPD- inspired book recommendation is Florida by Lauren Groff . The Tortured Poets Department is a dramatic, intimate, and eclectic ablum. Florence Welch posted on her IG that when asked to feature on TTPD she immediately thought of this collection of short stories featuring ghosts, swamps, and storms. I think it's only fitting that TTPD be paired with this collection of 11 stories since TTPD is her 11th album. The stories are all centered around wonderfully flawed women who are often suffering in their own skin. Full of dark humor, Lauren crafts poetic sentences just as Taylor crafts poetic lyrics, full of cynicism and sarcasm, ghosts, anger, vulnerability, motherhood, and acceptance. We are fully aware that at the time of this post update, The Life Of A Showgirl has not yet been released. However, we are hoping it's about her and Travis' love story and while we wait, we are reading this book with showgirl vibes! Our The Life Of A Showgirl album inspired book recommendation is A Showgirl's Rules for Falling in Love by Alice Murphy. While we don't know yet the full theme of Taylor's newest album, we did enjoy reading this new book. It's a dual timeline "romance" novel. You switch from modern day historian Phoebe, telling the story, to the 1800's where a plus sized showgirl named Evelyn becomes the start in a new Vaudeville show and starts to fall in love with a businessman named Thomas. It's a bit of an unconventional love story and as Pheobe tells the story, she too is falling in love and comparing her story to Evelyn and Thomas. We're taken on a journey of self-love. I put "romance" in quotes at the beginning because it also feels very historical, however there are some sexual tension scenes and a few more graphic scenes. Overall, it's a story about a bold woman, body positivity, being true to yourself, but also has some heartbreak as well, I won't tell you who or how. But a good read while we wait for October 3rd! If you enjoyed this post, be sure to check out our Taylor Swift page where we share all our Taylor inspired food, crafts, and more!
- Orange Pop Tarts
Taylor Swift announced her new album The Life of a Showgirl , recently on the New Heights podcast. We know that the album will be "orange" themed and more of a pop vibe. During the podcast with Travis and Jason, she also talked about how much she loved to bake, both sourdough and pop tarts. During that conversation about pop tarts, we were inspired to bake our own orange pop tarts. Orange Poptarts Ingredients Crust and filling 2 pre-made rolled pie crusts star cookie cutter 1 cup orange marmalade 1 egg 1 tablespoon of milk Icing 1.5 cups powdered sugar 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 tablespoon light corn syrup 2 tablespoons milk Sprinkles *optional (but not really optional) Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Unroll your pie crust. This is easier if you leave it out at room temperature for about 15 minutes beforehand to help soften it so it doesn't crack. Cut out stars with your cookie cutter. You can also make regular-sized pop tarts using an index card as a guide. Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the orange marmalade in the center of your star and cover with another star. Use a fork to crimp the edges. I do both sides of mine to keep it sealed. Once you've made all your stars, in a small bowl, add the egg and milk to make an egg wash and brush on the stars. Bake for 10-13 minutes (If you want rectangles, bake for a minute or two longer) Cool completely on a cooling rack. In a small bowl, mix together your icing ingredients, adding more milk or powdered sugar until it's a thick but slightly drizzly texture. You want it to pour off the spoon, creating ribbons for a few seconds before combining back with the rest of the icing. Adorn with sprinkles and let the icing harden before storing in an airtight container for a few days. This makes about 12 star poptarts. No more, no less, like The Life of a Showgirl, right?!

- One-Pan Dumpling Bake *Viral TikTok Recipe
I've seen several versions of this one-pan dumpling bake floating around on Tik Tok and then Instagram. I finally cracked and decided to make my own version and try it out. These baked dumplings are an easy "dump and go" dinner. Perfect for those busy nights, if you want to take something to a friend or neighbor or just don't feel like "cooking". They only take a few minutes to put together and are ready to go in as soon as your oven is preheated but they take a bit of time to actually bake. Worth it though! I've heard some conversations lately about what is cooking and what is "not cooking" and I have to say it doesn't really matter. Whether it's semi-homemade as I like to call it or you're going all out and making your own fresh pasta , it's all cooking, nourishing your body, sometimes even feeding your soul, which is what these dumplings feel like they do! One-Pan Dumpling Bake *serves 4 Ingredients 24 frozen dumplings (I use chicken and vegetable potstickers) 1 can coconut milk 2 tablespoons gochujang 2 teaspoons minced garlic 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar (I've used both depending on what I have) 1/2 tablespoon honey 6 tablespoons less sodium soy sauce 3 heads baby Bok choy, greens and some white parts roughly chopped Optional sesame seeds chili crisp oil green onions Preheat your oven to 375 and in large baking dish, mix together the gochujang, coconut milk, honey, garlic, vinegar, and soy sauce. Whisk together until combined. Arranged your frozen dumplings in the sauce, coating them in the sauce as you add them. Top with your chopped Bok choy. Cover with aluminum foil and baked for 40 minutes until the dumplings are cooked through and sauce is bubbly. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving. Top with the optional toppings - chili crisp oil, green onions, sesame seeds. Serve and enjoy! This dish is a very comforting and easy baked dumplings dish. This is what your dumpling bake looks like before you bake it (above) and after it's baked (below)
- Cheshire Cat Tails
We whipped up some whimsical Cheshire Cat Tails! This playful recipe is from The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook and is so much fun to create and eat! These pink and purple twisted pastries would be great for a tea party, an Alice in Wonderland party, or a Disney movie night. They make sure a colorful presentation and taste just like the ones you can find at the Disney Parks! Cheshire Cat Tails Ingredients for pastries: 1 (17.3 oz) box frozen puff pastry sheets 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding 1 3/4 cup whole milk 1 cup mini semisweet chocolate chips 1 large egg 1 tablespoon room temperature water Directions for Pastries: Remove puff pastry from the freezer and allow it to thaw at room temperature for 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line an ungreased baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a medium bowl, whisk together instant vanilla pudding and milk. Cover and chill, for at least 10 minutes or until ready to use. Unfold both sheets of puff pastry and use a rolling pin to just barely soften each surface. Don't work the dough too much or it won't puff up in the oven. Spread a very thin layer of vanilla pudding onto each sheet of pastry and sprinkle one sheet with mini chocolate chips. Carefully lay the other sheet pudding-side down onto the mini chocolate chips. Carefully cut the stacked pastry into six long strips. Holding a strip in your hand, twist one end. Lay on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining strips. In a small bowl, beat egg and water together. Brush the mixture over the tops of the pastry. Bake until golden brown and puffing up, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely, about 30 minutes on the baking sheet. Ingredients for icing: 1 cup confectioners' sugar 1/4 cup heavy cream 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2 drops each Gel food coloring (purple and pink) Directions for icing: In a medium bowl or stand mixer, mix together the confectioners' sugar, cream, and vanilla. Divide evenly between two small bowls and add one shade of food coloring to each bowl, stirring to combine well. Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle both colors of icing over each twist. Enjoy!

- Eras Tour Piano Inspired DIY Door Mat
I'm going to start this post out by saying I will not be providing stencils or outlines for this Eras Tour Piano Inspired DIY Door Mat. Why? Because I totally freehanded it. I will show you my process and pump you up with the fact that if you can do basic flower doodles, you can make this welcome mat. Miss Taylor Allison Swift had this beautiful, flowered piano for her surprise song section of the Eras Tour. I've had this idea of making the design into a welcome door mat for a while but finally had a day where I could mentally and physically spend time doing this. Full transparency, I made this door mat months ago but just didn't have time to post about it. If I had this to re-create all over the only thing I would change, is I would watch the Eras Tour on Disney+ as I painted. I did listen to different albums so good enough. But that's enough rambling, let's just jump right in and show you how you can make your own welcome mat inspired by Taylor Swift. Eras Tour Piano Inspired DIY Door Mat Supplies: Door Mat Paint brushes Craft paint (here are the colors I used) Apple Barrel - Green turquoise (stems of the flowers) Apple Barrel - Yellow Flame Apple Barrel - Fushia Apple Barrel - Royal Violet Apple Barrel - Purple Iris Apple Barrel - Jack-o-lantern Apple Barrel - Snow White Apple Barrel - Black Apple Barrel - Chestnut Americana - Razzle Berry Paper plate (this is my palette) Cup of water for rinsing brushes Paper towels (for wiping brushes as needed) Directions: 1. Look up a picture of the Eras Tour Piano to use as a reference. Use something to mark out where you want the vines/flowers to start. I'm very technical and used my paint brushes to mark where I was going to paint my vines. Four vines go to the bottom of the mat. Start with green and draw out where your flowers are going to start. I made mine go about 3/4 the way up the mat. You need to leave room for the flowers. I started with one color flower at a time and created for example all the purple flowers, then yellow flowers. 5. Go back in and touch up some areas or add other colors to give it more depth or brightness. Let completely dry overnight and voila! Keep in mind these are supposed to be wildflowers, they aren't perfect. As a matter of fact, their imperfections make them quirkier and more realistic in a way.

- No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream
Today, I’m sharing our favorite No-Churn Chocolate Ice Cream recipe that you and your kids can enjoy week after week, all summer long! We love homemade ice cream but pulling out the ice cream churn and gathering all the parts and pieces is time-consuming. Making sure I have enough ice and salt, and watching and waiting for hours, isn’t really fun for me and my kids got bored waiting. But, for an easy ice cream recipe, I came up with an easy no-churn ice cream recipe with triple chocolate to please your sweet tooth and keep you cool on a hot day! This no-churn ice cream only takes a few minutes, and a few easy ingredients to make. Then you have a yummy summer dessert or hot afternoon treat! It doesn’t get any easier than 5 ingredients! No-Churn Triple Chocolate Ice Cream Ingredients: 2 cups heavy whipping cream 14 oz sweetened condensed milk 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder pinch of salt (optional) chocolate syrup chocolate chips Directions: 1. In a small bowl mix together the sweetened condensed milk with the 1/4 cup cocoa powder and pinch of salt (optional) 2. With a mixer, whip the heavy cream on medium speed until soft peaks form. 3. Gently fold the chocolate/condensed milk mixture into the whipped cream until smooth. 4. In a loaf pan (or this cute ice cream container ), layer in about 1/3 of the ice cream mixture. Drizzle with chocolate syrup and chocolate chips on top. 5. Repeat with another layer of ice cream mixture and more syrup and chocolate chips. Add a final layer of ice cream mixture and top the whole thing with syrup and chocolate chips in a pretty design. Cover and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours. Overnight works best so that your ice cream is completely frozen. Scoop and enjoy!
