Features for Happiness is Homemade 531

Cinco De Mayo Table

The Painted Apron did me proud with a beautiful tablescape. The foyer table is ready for Cinco de Mayo and a fiesta of flavors with small faux cacti that can become party favors. How seriously on point is this for this weeks theme?

Crock Pot Chicken Tacos

Can we celebrate without Tacos, I think not. This easy crockpot chicken tacos recipe from Organized Island doesn’t get any easier with 3 simple ingredients in your slow cooker. These just take a few minutes of prep time and they practically cook themselves.

Check out this fun Cinco de Mayo Charcuterie Board from 3 Boys and A Dog! It’s full of festive snacks that are perfect for the May celebration! If you need ideas for a Cinco de Mayo party, use this as a yummy appetizer for your guests.

Welcome to the Happiness Is Homemade Link Party #529. We are so glad you’re here and I think you will be real glad, too. Wait till you see our features and all of the amazing contributions to this week’s party. Creativity abounds!

——-

From this month’s hostess: My name is Katie from Love My Messy Messy Mess and I have been your party host for the month of April. It’s been a crazy month filled with lots of concerts at work, starting sports for my one son and elementary musical practices for the other. Sometimes I feel like I am being pulled in too many directions at once but, with the help of friends and family, I get the job done.

Let’s get to this week’s party – simply scroll down to see all the posts that have been linked up by our participating bloggers!

Keto Cookies with Nut Butter

I would not classify myself as following a strict keto diet but I do try to limit the amount of carbs I eat every day. I keep a jar of cookies on my island for a little snack and thought this recipe for Keto Cookies with Nut Butter would be a good one to try out!

For the month of February I, Niki of Life as a LEO Wife, will be choosing our features. I can’t wait to see what you have to share this week because it’s always a treat checking out all of your fabulous ideas! If you missed last week’s party, you can check it out here. I thought that I’d share a couple of St. Patrick’s Day ideas, along with a few Easter or spring ideas. Since Easter will come so early this year, we have to get into our decorating now. Let’s check out the features for this last week of February! This blog contains Amazon affiliate links ♥

This Week’s Features

Our own Linda of A Labour of Life shared an adorable DIY St. Patrick’s Day pom pom garland that’s perfect to decorate your mantle. You can use this tutorial for any holiday. Just change up the colors you use, and you could have an Easter decoration as well! McDonald’s serves a shamrock shake for St. Patrick’s Day, and Jen of Cincy Shopper made a copycat shake that looks so delicious! Making your own shakes at home can save you money, and it allows you to customize them with those adorable shamrock sprinkles.

I’ve been obsessed with finding a small basket to hang on my coffee bar shelf, so when I saw this Easter door basket made by Nicolle at Our Tiny Nest, I fell in love! In her tutorial she shares how to make the fabric carrots as well as a few tips for putting together a pretty basket, so be sure to check it out.

These pedestal birdhouses were transformed into beautiful spring décor by Donna over at An Organized Season. She saw some similar ones while out at an antique show, and her transformation using birdhouses and candlesticks turned out right on par with those! I would love to recreate them for my own spring décor.

Emily of Hunny I’m Home shared how to make beautiful floral farmhouse eggs that won’t stain your fingers and you never have to refrigerate. They are easy to make and will look beautiful inside baskets in Easter vignettes! Thank you for joining us this week. We’re happy you’re here to share your latest posts and to check out the amazing ideas shared by other lovely bloggers!
