I got to host a Disney Side Cars party last month for my four-year-old and some of his friends and it was so cute and fun. I was sent a huge box of party supplies (and for the life of me I can’t find that pic) but it was chock-full of awesome stuff. Everything Cars…

DIY Rustic Winter Wedding
My sister got married at the end of December last year. She had a pretty short engagement–only two months. And as the go-to crafty person in my family (and with my parents living in Boston) she kind of hired me as her wedding planner. And since she was so ambivalent about what she wanted, I…
Disney Imagicademy Party
We had a Disney Imagicademy party last week to celebrate the launch of Disney’s new app Mickey’s Magical Math World! I invited nearly all of my 6-year-old’s friends and I think we ended up with almost 20 kids at my house. It was insanity! But so much fun. I set up the table, complete with…
20 Must Have New Year’s Eve Recipes
Happy End of 2014! I have been away from the computer a lot these last two weeks since I moved to my new house, had Christmas, AND threw my sister a wedding. It was exhausting and insane. But it’s all over now, just in time to celebrate New Year’s Eve with all my family who…
Our Downton Abbey Tea Party
We had ourselves a little tea party last week. And it was so much fun! We were inspired by World Market’s new line of Downton Abbey tea party stuff which is so cute, and since World Market threw a virtual tea party last Sunday, we decided it would be fun to do our own! My…
Downton Abbey Black Friday
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve heard about Downton Abbey. And I admit, I’m a fan as well. Honestly, I haven’t agreed with all the decisions the writers have made, but what show is perfect, right? That being said–I adore the entire period it takes place in. I love their huge mansion, the…
Kids Halloween Party Ideas
Last week I threw a Halloween party for some neighborhood kids. (That’s the life of a blogger–do everything way earlier than normal.) It was a blast–despite a little hiccup from the weather. Early Halloween parties always work out well for me because I get a much higher attendance when I don’t have to compete for…
Water Themed Birthday Party
So my boys’ birthdays are in April. But every year, without fail, April is my busiest month. And this year was probably the busiest it’s ever been. I told my kids they could have a birthday party, but they’d have to wait until things settled down. Turns out that things didn’t settle down until school…
Cookies and Milk Party
Are you looking to throw a fun Christmas party? I really wanted to do one this year so I threw together a little party “mockup” plan using these fabulous Cookies & Milk printables from Hostess With the Mostess. Check it out… Cute, right? I’m really proud of myself for my Photoshop skills at working these…
Last Minute Entertaining Tips
What do you do when your husband calls you up on his way home from work, “Honey–I invited Bob and Judy over for dinner! We’ll all be there in about an hour!” Um, thanks for the advance warning! Well don’t stress too much because throwing an impromptu dinner party is actually really easy! And here…
Halloween Party 2012
I already posted the Halloween party preview, but I wanted to follow up and show the actual party pictures. They aren’t quite as pretty because I was rushed (guests were arriving as I took these!) and the lighting was terrible so I had the flash on. I hate using the flash and try to avoid…
Spooky Halloween Party Set up
I’m having a Halloween party in a couple of weeks. I LOVE throwing Halloween parties and the setup and food is so much fun to plan out. So much fun that I had to do a dry run with the new and super cute products I got from Cost Plus World Market. So here’s my…
