Confession: when I was younger, I never really liked slumber parties. There were a few great ones, but for the most part I was partial to my own bed.
The good news is that slumber parties are much, much better when you don’t have to worry about getting your face drawn on or your finger stuck in warm water while you’re sleeping. Just sayin’.
I spent my Friday night with these dime pieces.
I cooked. We ate!
On the menu: baked ziti, bread, and salad.
For dessert: Cake Batter Blondies and chocolate cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
And then, of course, the typical slumber party “women stuff.”
We had plans to go into the city tomorrow morning-ish, but Mother Nature decided to have yet another temper tantrum. No big deal, though, because we changed our plans and will be heading in at night instead!
But tonight? It’s early to bed for me. Enjoy your weekend, ‘cakes! xoxo G
Did you like going to slumber parties when you were younger?
This makes me miss slumber parties SO much! This looks like the perfect girly night!

I was always partial to my own bed too, girl! But now I love sleepovers as long as it’s at my house:)
Ahh your food looks so yummy! Time for me to go get my bake on!:)

I loved sleepovers when I was younger, but could never sleep and felt miserable the next day. Your night looks like SO much fun though. Now that I have my master’s degree, I have sleep overs with some of the girls I graduated with, and those are much more fun:)
Haven’t had a sleepover like that in so long! Looks like a lot of fun
That ziti.. and those blondies… oh wow..
Great food! I loved slumber parties as a kid. That seems like another lifetime though!
Mallory says

What a perfect girl’s night in!
Can I please come?!
SLUMBER parties are the BEST!! just dont try and experiment with face masks…. FAIL

Flo says
We called them sleepovers and to be honest like yourself I wasn’t much of a fan! Probably because I was a tomboy lol
You know, I think we called them sleepovers too
“slumber party” just seems to be the more universal term…?
I did like slumber parties, but I have always been a crab when I don’t get enough sleep. And I was always the first one to fall asleep too. Now, I’m quite partial to my bed, so if slumber parties happen, they’re over here!
I wasn’t a slumber party kind of girl either. I always preferred sleeping in my own bed,but there is nothing like spending some quality time with your girlfriends! It looks like you were a great host!

Just wanted to say that I made your cake batter blondies on NYE and have since bought a HUGE tub of rainbow sprinkles so I have all ingredients at the ready - at all times. Best dessert ever! I love you blog! Thanks.
ahh, so glad you like them!! xoxo
I was such a homebody and mommys girl as a kid , I never liked sleepovers, My friends would always sleepover at my house, my best friend actually slept over all the time, she practically lived with us, lol!
So fun and the food looks good! I love the cake batter blondies! They look awesome!
Hope you girls have a fun night out! : )
I always had the slumber parties at MY house so everyone could sleep in my bedroom - I had a serious attachment to my bed too
haha!
This looks AMAZING! No slumber party is complete without nail polish and sprinkly cupcakes!
I liked them but I was always the 1st one asleep, luckily I was the ‘nice one’ so no one ever did anything to me! I still have sleepovers every now and again, too!
I loved them! Your cute line-up of nail polish makes me wish that I could have one right now!
I loved sleepovers, and I still do…nothing beats em!
I want those blondies. The end.
I hated sleepovers as a kid, actually!! I didn’t mind the party time, but I never liked sleeping on the floor or in a strange bed, so I’d always say my parents wouldn’t let me stay or that I didn’t feel well so I could sleep in my own bed. Ha.
I loved sleepovers when I was a kid! We would always stay up ridiculously late talking though, so the next day was never fun.
That looks like such a fun night. Nail polish and cake are the ultimate sleepover essentials!
Mandi says
That sounds like such a fun night! And those blondies look absolutely amazing.
I loved slumber parties when I was little, but usually only if they were at my house. I always got so cold at other people’s houses at night.
