Remember a while back when I told you how excited I was to be participating in the Delta Faucet #HappiMess campaign? Well, today I’m back to share the party I hosted for my family.
Not only am I excited to be participating in a campaign that actually encourages us to truly live in our homes (& make messes), but I get to be apart of something that finds beauty in the everyday mess. It’s a part of life, so why hide it? We’re not always picture perfect pristine, and I know that the pretty pictures bloggers share can sometimes be discouraging. No, we don’t always look so put together…
So, not only did I invite my mom over to help me make a big mess in the kitchen for our family dinner, we got to eat a bunch of homemade goodies while hanging out together as a family. We enjoyed it… and the food! 😀
For the party, my mom and I decided to make my grandma’s homemade donut recipe. Oh my word. And before we knew it, we decided to make caramel apples and a carrot cake. It was a fun afternoon of baking and laughing and sharing recipes that are really special to the both of us.
Here we are in the midst of making our own #HappiMess! 😀
Anthony was our photographer… he did a pretty good job snapping pictures of it all… 😀
And I must say, I’m really enjoying our Touch2O faucet… I may or may not tap it just to turn it on and off! It really is handy for the messy jobs in the kitchen when hands are a bit coated…
And best of all, the donuts turned out amazing! My family is officially addicted & the guys mentioned something about me delivering them hot glazed donuts when they’re busy harvesting onions in a few weeks. 😀
My nephews also thought it was the best family dinner ever… one of them kept walking by the island “to play”or pilfer donuts… He got caught… several times! 😀
This was also the first party where we all got to sit around in the dining room with the new shelves and just enjoy each other….
Family dinners really are one of my very favorite things. And with the guys so busy harvesting the pinto beans, onions and corn (coming soon), we all enjoy the slower moments of family talk and laughing. Truly one of the best pleasures in life!
And once the party was over, and we all had enjoyed dinner, donuts and cake, we cleaned up the kitchen and I sent my family on their happy way with a bag of donuts. 😀
And lucky for us, there’s a few donuts left! Happy Day! 😀
Why do people treat mess like it’s a bad thing? It’s actually the evidence of a life well lived. When you’re out there making, creating, doing and playing, embrace your #HappiMess and let Delta kitchen and bath innovations help clean up so you can do it all again tomorrow.
What a great post. I love seeing photos of bloggers really living in their homes, especially yours because it’s one of my favorites! Now, when will the next batch of donuts be ready?? 😉
THANK YOU so much! 😀 The next batch will be ready soon… 😀
Loved your post! This is what family and togetherness is all about! About the donuts, do you ever plan to share the recipe with the rest of us? #happygoluckymess
THANK YOU so much! Yes, I am totally going to share that recipe… it’s a good one! 😀
Thanks for letting us spend time with you in the kitchen – the donuts look delicious!! Nice feature!

THANK YOU so much! Donut recipe coming soon! 😀
Love family dinners too! But now down to the really important stuff ~ Where is the recipe for those donuts?? Please tell me you posted it already and I just missed it! And, if you didn’t, then you need to know that you can’t just post pictures of scrumptious food and not even offer to give us the recipe! I know my boys would LOVE them!! Your home is beautiful! And the shelves in the dining room make the whole room!
THANK YOU! And yes, I am totally going to share that donut recipe… it’s a good one! 😀
Any chance you would consider sharing that donut recipe????
Yes ma’am! It’s coming soon! 😀
Sweet Shayna, dear friend, although we sincerely love, love, love your home, and are so grateful you let us in, we just can’t deny how truly happy we all would be if we just had that donut recipe. Get it? Lol!
Hi Shayna-
How wonderful it was to see you at work.
You are such a little cutie…
Can’t wait for the donut recipe and maybe the carrot cake one too.
Families are such fun, I love being with my sisters and my mom..
It’s nice your family lives close..
Thanks for sharing
Rose…
I loved seeing your family gathered around your table. We always see your pretty decor but it looks even better with your family there too! 🙂
Life would be no fun, if there was never a mess to clean up!
Will you be sharing the doughnut recipe? 😉
the donuts look delicious! I love spending time with family in the kitchen…….and I’m dying over the touch faucet! that would be SO nice when you have really messy hands, I always try to turn our on with the back of my wrist lol
What a sweet post Shayna! I love seeing a real life family get together! And I love your faucet!!!!! Your donuts make me soooo hungry! Messes just show that there is a whole lot of living going on! Your mess is very blessed!
Looking forward to the recipe;) what kind of gadget is that that you cut the. Oudonuts and the hole in the middle out?
Hi Lora! We actually used a donut cutter! 😀
I’m excited for the donut recipe too! Great faucet and love that you and your mom got to do this together! 🙂
I need that faucet and a donut!
