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 [...]

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 [...]

For my first pregnancy I took a prenatal class to help prepare me for the big day. I looked forward to the class each week, and it was great to be around other pregnant women expecting around the same time as myself. We could share stories and watch our bellies blossom over the six week [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Holiday decor does not have to be the classic hues of green and red. Why not spice it up a bit? Instead of falling in line with the typical fashions, make a real statement for your guests this year. After attending the Affair Convention and being blown away by all of the ideas bouncing around [...]

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. I have never been one to add Topiaries to my holiday or event decor, but these seemed so festive I had to share. What a fun way to [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Celebrating baby Daisy’s and Dot’s way!
Nowadays, we have so many little cheesy, unnecessary knick knacks that people feel obligated to send home with their party guests hoping they’ll remember the special day. I guarantee that about 90 percent of them get either thrown into a box or the trash can. In times of economic crisis, [...]

You can never have too much inspiration, and a party is a party. Don’t be afraid to get inspiration and ideas for your wedding by looking at children’s parties and vice versa. Just because it is a wedding, it doesn’t mean your kiddos won’t love to have their initials carved into the pumpkin or [...]
