Being involved in party planning is an exciting experience as you are always on the lookout for new, original ideas that could wow your guests, put a smile on their face and give them a story to remember. I’ve mentioned my love for adding an element of creativity and a touch of fancy to my…
The Essential Apps for Party Planning
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.

CHALKOLA Liquid Chalk Markers
I’m loving the chalkboard trend. Whether it’s chalkboard paint on an empty wine bottle for decor or a chalkboard wall in a nursery or playroom for learning and creativity. With its recent rise in popularity it seems as though Chalkboard could be in the running for Pantone of the Year. I love it – especially for kids. Ironically,…
Football Sunday Munchies
We decided to have a little last minute football get together, so I didn’t have much time to prepare – which was part of the fun! Luckily, I had time for a quick run to the store! I could have bought all the premade trays, but I wanted something a little more homemade looking. An assortment…
Party Style {Book Review}

Camping Hacks {TESTED}
If the Brownies used a pass/fail system, I wouldn’t have graduated. Don’t get me wrong, I love being outside soaking up the sun, swimming, boating, walking/running. But when the sun goes down and the creepy crawlers come out, I prefer the serenity of my bed. I’ve camped before, but back in the day – pre-kids…
Fairy Themed Party on a Dollar Store Budget
As I was working on a Fairy Garden Party post, I came across this from Confessions of a Queen Bee. So well done! I love the idea of fairy wings to dress up the chairs!
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…
