Hi, friends! I hope you’re having a wonderful Friday! I am so excited to share today’s post with you simply because it is packed with football party goodness! I don’t know about your house, but in our home Football is a pretty big deal. I guess that’s what I get for having boys, right? I wanted to prep for Football season and put together some fun party ideas (and recipes!) for you to throw a simple and rustic football party when the time comes!

First things first, you need to head to Sam’s Club to pick up 28 pack cans of Coke Classic and Diet Coke because, who doesn’t love an ice-cold soda for the game? Also, did you know you can order online and pick-up in-store? It makes planning your football party or tailgating event SO much easier!

Because everyone LOVES snacking while watching football, I wanted to create a simple Chip & Dip station full of different dips, chip varieties, and ice-cold sodas. I wanted dips that were EASY to make, because let’s face it – who has the time, right? Plus, the whole point of the party is to have fun!

So, let me share some of my simple + yummy dip recipes!

pesto dip

Pesto Dip:

  1. Mix 8oz Cream Cheese with 2 Cups Pesto (bought at Sam’s Club)
  2. Transfer to a bake-safe dish, top with about 12 (halved) cherry tomatoes
  3. Pop in the oven for 20 minutes at 350 degrees
  4. Enjoy!

Queso Ranch

Queso Ranch Dip:

  1. Mix 16oz Sour cream with a 10 oz can of Rotel (drained)
  2. Sprinkle in one packet of Hidden Valley Ranch Dip Mix
  3. Add 2 cups Shredded Cheese (I love Kraft Sharp Cheddar)
  4. Add 1 tsp. Garlic Salt, mix.
  5. Transfer to bake-safe dish, top with 1 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  6. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees
  7. Enjoy!

chili cheese

Chili Cheese Dip:

  1. Mix 8 oz cream cheese with a can of Hormel Chili
  2. Add mixture to a bake-safe dish
  3. Sprinkle 1 tsp chili powder on top
  4. Add 3 cups of shredded cheddar cheese
  5. Sprinkle another 1 tsp of chili powder on top
  6. Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees
  7. Enjoy!

Now, I don’t like to pick favorites – but the Chili Cheese dip is probably the BEST dip that I’ve ever made. My husband goes CRAZY for it and it’s always a huge hit! So, if you can only make one dip, definitely choose this one! 

I also wanted to serve a simple, but fun drink for the party as well.  I placed various bottles of flavored syrups on the table so guests could create fun Dirty Coke recipes on their own! If you’ve never had a Dirty Coke, you need to try one – they’re delicious!

Easy “Football” Cups:

  1. Grab a Mason Jar
  2. Grab some white tape (electrical tape works great!)
  3. Cut one 4 inch strip, and three 1 1/2 inch strips
  4. Layer to create “laces” on your jars!

dirty coke

Dirty Coke:

  1. Fill a Mason jar FULL of ice
  2. Add some flavored syrup (I added 4 tbs of caramel Torani syrup)
  3. Add Coke to glass
  4. Stir
  5. Enjoy!

I also thought it would be really fun to purchase some party poppers and place them in cups on the table for people to grab for the game. Nothing is more fun that a party popper! Just pull the string and watch the confetti fly for a touchdown!! I got some cute chalkboard clothespins at the craft store and used them for labeling various things on the table – definitely added a cute and rustic touch, don’t you think?

I just LOVE the way this table setting turned out. I used a fun wire cupcake stand to hold the mason jars so guests can just grab a jar, get some ice, and grab a coke from the ice bucket! I made sure to include a variety of fun paper straws, plates, napkins, and everything else needed to set everyone up for a great time! I also bought some pre-made dips from Sam’s Club to add to the table as well, I got Salsa, Spinach Dip, and another Queso. I really wanted there to be several fun dips to try!

My Must-Haves for a Football Party:

  1. A variety of chips + dips
  2. Easily-accessible drinks
  3. Lots and lots of ice
  4. Party Poppers (can be found at any party supply store)
  5. Chalkboard labels – to easily label different foods, ingredients, etc
  6. Cupcake Stand – to create levels easily and to increase your storage space for cups and other items.
  7. Confetti – sprinkle it ALL over the table!
  8. Paper straws, fun plates, and napkins! Grab different colors and textures to mix and match.
  9. Banners – make them yourself, or purchase them in the party aisle.
  10. Friends and Family! People are what make the party – and nothing beats a great conversation (and great food) enjoyed by the people you love!

🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙 Hi, friends! There are l 🌙✨INTRO TIME✨🌙

Hi, friends! There are lots of new faces around here thanks to @roseybeeme - (thank you so much, Rosey) so I wanted to do an intro!

👋🏼 Hi, I’m Kendall!

✨ I live with chronic illness and am in pain every single day. I try to lead with positivity so it doesn’t swallow me whole.

✨ I met my husband at a coffee shop. I used to go to write in my journal and escape - at that time I was living in my car and having a warm comfy space to relax and collect my thoughts was essential. Meeting William saved my life. More on that later. 

✨ I’m an enneagram 2 and a highly-sensitive person. What does this mean? I’m super empathetic towards others and can almost feel their emotions. I carry the weight of others a lot - I enjoy making people feel better. Oh, and I cry, a lot.

✨ I started my blog back in 2009 when my endometriosis pain kept me from being able to do anything. It was something I could do from home, in bed, to connect with the outside world. I never thought it’d end up being my full-time career, passion, and how my hubby & I provide for our family. Just know when you like & comment on my content - you’re truly helping our fam! ♥️

✨ I have two sons. Wyatt is 9 and has Autism. He’s taught me so much about patience, love, and life. I wouldn’t change anything about him, even on the hard days, because I know he was born to do great things. My youngest son is Levi, he is 6 and was born with clubfoot. He did treatment for 4 years, had surgery, and has worn several casts to correct his foot. If you saw him now, you’d never know!

✨ I am happier now at 34 than I have ever been in my entire life. I always wanted a family that loved me. I always wanted to feel safe. Now I have both.

✨ I believe that you can make whatever you want out of life. Your beginnings only make you stronger - your future is your own. 

💕✨ TELL ME ABOUT YOU! What’s something you feel comfortable sharing so we can get to know eachother better! ✨💕

✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad thi ✨Why is it always so easy to believe the bad things that are said about us, as opposed to the good?✨

🧠 Could it be because at some point those same negative thoughts have echoed in our own heads as well?

Too fat.
Too loud.
Too opinionated.
Too sick.
Too moody.

Remember that you’re never too much of anything. Protect your space, energy, time, and most importantly, your heart.

You deserve to be surrounded by good people that want good things for you. If at any time you feel that you need to take a step back, reevaluate and realign, do so!

🧠 Your mental health and how you feel about yourself is so incredibly important. ✨GOOD✨ things are coming your way and you won’t be able to see the light if you never flip the switch.

🥵 When I wake up on a bad pain day and already feel defeated it can be hard to make my toes touch the floor. Sometimes my body and mind make me feel like there’s no point - that whatever my day holds will include an intense pain, and I’ll have to deal with it whether I like it or not.

💕 But if I stretch myself just a little, put on a cute sweatsuit and mascara - I begin to build an armor. But instead of this armor keeping me safe from the world, it’s keeping me safe from myself, my illness, and the thought that it controls me.

☁️ It’s like being wrapped in warm, cozy comfort, even though your insides are hurting. And on weeks where I just can’t get a break with my pain, I kick things up a notch and throw on a party dress - preferably something with a little pizzaz. 

✨That’s why I really fell in love with clothing, because I can’t change the inside, I can’t make my illness go away, but I can combat it with my own kind of light. ✨
