Pinterest is possibly the greatest resource out there to find inspiration for DIY projects and party planning. By typing a few keywords, you’ll encounter the most creative ideas shared on the internet. Brainstorming is easy, but it’s the rest of the party planning process that is a little more difficult.

Lego Head Cake
My incredibly cool nephew was turning double digits! To commemorate the decade long accomplishment I told him I would make his birthday cake. He wanted a Lego cake and I had no idea where to begin. But, I was determined to make him the best Lego cake ever. After a couple hours on Pinterest and…
Strawberry Mango Salsa
Sometimes I feel like I have it all – the family AND the career. Other times I just feel torn between work and the moments I miss with the kids. Thanks to two amazing caregivers the kids have had an amazing summer – swimming and trips to the park almost daily! Today they are taking…

Baseball Birthday Party
As I’ve mentioned, my son is a sports nut. His birthday is in July, so it coincides nicely with baseball season and 4th of July, which made a baseball/Americana themed 2nd birthday a no-brainer. I started with some simple table settings. For the tablecloths I used solid red that I popped with a red and white picnic…
