Occasions by Shakira

At Occasions By Shakira I love creating different ways for my children to learn and express themselves. I love unnecessarily lovely meals. I love filling my home with character and personal affection. I prefer my dining room full of family. I love a gorgeous cup of coffee. An intentional memory making mama, wife and blogger. I share everything from everyday occasions, and holiday magic. I'm also the creator of The Occasions Bin™ so you can celebrate the small and big occasions in your life.

Family Game Night | Occasions By Shakira
We;ve been getting back into the groove of Family Game Night, and I figured we would give you a peek inside how we do it.I’ve partnered with Target to share my haul and all of the supplies I used to create a little family fun…okay and a few new pretty things for mama’s kitchen. That’s what I love about Target, whether it’s a new board game, kitchen items, or the best snacks, they’ve always got you covered.

Non-Candy Easter Basket Ideas – Occasions by Shakira
I am excited to share all of the sweet things that I am stuffing Raegan, Zarie’s and Xander’s Easter baskets this year! I also cannot believe that this is the last year that there will only be three baskets. I am typically very intentional when it comes to gifting for the girls. You can usually find arts & craft supplies, and practical items like hair bows in their baskets.

DIY Gingerbread Dollhouse - Occasions By Shakira
I’ve got the cutest holiday craft idea for you! @michaelsstores has the cutest wooden dollhouse (and all of the best supplies) and I transformed it into a gingerbread house with a coat of paint, white puffy paint “frosting” and a few festive embellishments. I used beads to make string lights and iridescent scatter to add the look of snow. Peep the little wooden peg Pattersons that moved in (in matching jammies, of course!)

Gingerbread Decorating 2020 - Occasions By Shakira
Decorating gingerbread houses is one of my kids’ favorite traditions–and mine too, if I’m being honest. It is adorable to see the fun ways we all decorate, and to snag a few frosting tastes along the way–haha.
