fancy nancy soiree
With a cake like this (yes, that is the cake!) you can only image what the party was like. I added Fancy Nancy to our list of must-have books, and as you can see, it is also a must-have party theme for any girly girl, at any age. One of my bestest friends, Michelle, threw a Fancy Nancy-themed party [...]
happyhour twitter party
As a mom, my Friday movie nights have turned from Bone Collector to UP in a matter of years. Now, instead of that Dirty Martini and hanging out with girlfriends into the wee hours of the morn, I am cleaning up that Dirty Diaper and feeding until the son comes up. I recently decided I [...]

history of baby showers
Baby showers are always such a frilly, girlie-girl good time. Great food, family, friends and a plethora of gifts. What’s not to love about “showering” a beautiful preggo or new baby with love and affection. A pre or post welcome party has become like second nature to American families. Themes, colors, party favors and etiquette [...]
sissy’s birthday is fun for me too!
My oldest daughter turned five last week and she claimed it was “the best birthday I have had in my whole entire life.” We didn’t have much to live up to, after all we were only five years in, and I’m pretty sure she couldn’t remember the first 2 anyway, but we did our best [...]
great party idea for adults | secret santa party that gives back
With the holiday parties in full swing, it is always refreshing to attend the fun, more relaxed events. Don’t get me wrong, it is nice to get dolled up and throw on that cocktail dress that has been gathering dust in your closet, but it is also refreshing to go casual and comfy to a [...]

My little girl is growing up!! As you can see, the second I put her Ruby Roxanne Design Party headband on she started striking the birthday girl poses. WOW!
.
We threw the party early this year (thinking we would be out of the country at this point) so that she could have some of her friends [...]

get in the holiday spirit with untraditional topiary
Our friend Shelly K. from the MomBloggersClub announced the launch of her newest Blog and Shop, the Untraditional Topiary, so we thought we’d share some blogger love.

“two little pumpkins” baby shower
We wanted to give my SIL the shower she deserves. Our goal was to celebrate the additions while honoring the passing of her previous twins with a theme that resembled the season when it occurred, and bring new light and feeling. Plus, with the upcoming Halloween Holiday and pumpkins everywhere, we knew we had a [...]
mommy-to-bee party
One of the more difficult aspects of planning a party is finding the perfect theme for the occasion. When it comes to baby showers, it is not always easy finding a fun gender-neutral theme that you can use throughout. I always went for the boring, no-theme, pink-because-I’m-having-a-girl decor for some reason. If only the WrapPaperScissors [...]
