Final preparations are underway for Elliott’s {outdoorsy} birthday party this weekend. Of course, last minute, I rediscovered these adorable, little acorns… {both via} {acorn poppers ~ mini nilla wafer, nutella & a kiss rolled into one? yum!} And you must eat some twigs with your acorns! {via} If you’re not a squirrel or on Survivor, … [Read more…]
Happy Cinco De Mayo! The closest I’ve gotten to celebrating is this… Sad. Quick Taco Bell bean & cheese burrito via the drive-thru amongst volunteering in Elliott’s class, picking up fresh flowers for Holden’s teacher, stopping for stamps, dropping bills at the post office, picking up Holden, buzzing through Mickey D’s for Holden’s hamburguesa con … [Read more…]
As a young girl, whenever we visited Old Town’s Bazaar Del Mundo, I remember stepping foot into a little bakery and walking out with a warm churro, bathed in cinnamon sugar and wrapped in white paper. I remember that and the toy store, Gepetto’s. As I got older, my memories switched to margaritas and pozole … [Read more…]
I think I {may} be on the verge of quite possibly becoming addicted to spray paint{ing}. It is the quickest, easiest, cheapest way to transform almost anything. It all started when I spray painted the glass candle holders to make some little candy/snack dishes for Elliott’s upcoming party as seen again here… I love them … [Read more…]
While killing some time in Kohl’s last week, I found some 49ยข inspiration for Holden’s 5th birthday party…yes, the one that is 11 months away. There were some cute felt flags with a {circus} theme. They were 90% off! Five of them remained and that was a sign for me that I had to pick … [Read more…]
Spent some more time on Polyvore to get inspired for Elliott’s {Outdoorsy/Nature Girl} party in May… Lots of clear glass containers filled with all sorts of goodness from gummy caterpillars to froggy yo-yos to Arnold Palmers. Loving the turquoise & orange combo. The {wedding} sign will obviously read something more like {Party this way!} or … [Read more…]
Happy Friday, floppers! ***** We’re getting closer and closer to putting together the perfect, budget-friendly birthday party…let’s chat about what we’re going to do at the party and what our friends will take home with them. Part 5 ~ Activites & Favors I think it’s important to keep the party flowing so that the guests … [Read more…]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day just in the {pinch} of time! Only about 20 minutes left… {via} I was just kind of off today…we all wore green, but that was about it. We received an invite to the neighbor’s for shepard’s pie and green beer and I just sort of dropped all plans to do anything … [Read more…]
So, we’ve decided on a theme, delivered our invitations and thought about how we’re going to decorate…now we need to think about what we’re going to eat and drink! Part 4 ~ Food & Drink I love to cook & bake and put menus together so this MAY be my favorite part of party planning. … [Read more…]
Part 3 ~ Venue & Decor I love doing house parties, but those get redundant after awhile and it’s nice to try something new. As the kids get older, they’re more interested in heading {off site} to something that has a little more going on. There are SO many places that you can throw a … [Read more…]
