So- people always ask me how I go about planning my parties. I just hosted my daughter, Charlotte’s 6th birthday party and I thought it would be fun to share what goes into creating the party before featuring the actual party. She is a twin and has always shared her birthday with her brother. This year, they both protested and insisted on their own party. I was
Happy Monday- The inspiration for today’s Leprechaun Lunch came from two places- my dear friend Heather and an idea for party popcorn that I found on Pinterest. Heather was over last week when I was making my Catch A Rainbow Jars and came up with the adorable Leprechaun Lunch phrase. ( So clever- I am really lucky to have her as a neighbor as well!)
I am so excited to be going to my little bear’s school this morning to participate in Read Across America in honor of Dr. Seuss. Today was his birthday. When I was a teacher, I would spend the better part of March using his books as teaching inspiration. Needless to say, his books are also amazing sources of party inspiration. From One Fish, Two Fish,
It’s Bloom’s First Link Party. I’m a little bit nervous (and very excited) to be trying this, mostly because I’m afraid no one will link up. Keeping my fingers crossed that you will come.So- I would love for you to share your creative holiday ideas, crafts, and parties. Really, I would love to see anything pretty. A few rules: 1.

My favorite party inspiration from around the web last week, without a doubt, is this cheese display. I love the different cheeses stack on a pedestal made to resemble a cake. Perfectly unique and clever. You’ll catch it at one of my parties soon! Amy Atlas devoted an 3 post to this party. Check it out here. Here’s another pretty perfect cheese table I found
Happy Day- I have been soooo busy the past few weeks putting together a birthday party for my little one. It was Saturday. The weather was great and the girls all had fun. Success. I can’t wait to share it with you over the next few weeks! Today, however, is Make It Monday. With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I thought these rainbow
Did you catch this Popeye party last week on Amy Atlas? It made my jaw drop. Perfect detail. The cake is totally amazing. It made me remember details about the cartoon that I had long forgotten. The bold primary color scheme looks amazing and I love the whimpy burgers and soda bottles tied with rope. The perfect degree of nautical! XO
Are you ready to celebrate the next holiday yet? St. Patrick’s Day is the perfect time to use some of the rainbow inspiration that’s out there on the web, especially if green is not your favorite color (like me). Kids love the magic that rainbows and little leprechauns hold. Check out some of my favorite rainbow inspirations from Pinterest. If you decide to do a
I love fondant. I love the smooth clean graphic look that fondant creates. I was actually scared, intimidated rather, of fondant for quite a while. It seemed like a product for the most experienced bakers. It was only when I became desperate for a last minute decoration for the cupcakes at my Chili Under The Oaks Party, that I turned to fondant. I was sooooo
When my sister was getting married, I wanted to create the perfect bridal shower for her. She is such a girlie girl and the pink princess theme fit her perfectly. To set the mood for the party, my mom helped me make tons of pink pillows to put on the furniture around the pool. On some of them, I took the crown image from the
