Soirée Is a Fancy Word for Party

Friday, August 21st, 2009

Have you read Fancy Nancy*? I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it–I mean, we’re pretty princess-ed out around here and just how many sequins can you have? But I picked it up at the bookstore and fell in love with it! It’s a sweet vocab book about the love of a family!
Today [...]

The Snow White Party

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

Lydia’s 3rd birthday party was an absolute, unmitigated, totally amazing and electrifying success. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little. But it was incredibly fun!
Of course, the first and best part was our little Snow White herself. She wore her Halloween costume and the second it fell on her shoulders, she was transformed into a princess. [...]

Creative Kids Birthday Party Tips, Themes & Ideas

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

::themes::
Color Party. We did purple for Lydia’s first birthday. My friend Whitney had a red party once. But how about a multi-color party? This is what my blogging bud Christine did for her daughter—and the best part? They tie-dyed! Colorful, indeed!
Snowflake Party. How could I not include this?!
This Wonderland birthday is my dream party. You [...]

Sisterchicks For Hire

Friday, August 22nd, 2008

I had my first baby shower last week! It was so fun. I love baby showers. And wedding showers. And parties of any kind. You know I’m a little freaked when it comes to themes. And this shower was no exception!
It was a joint shower with one of my sisterchicks, Mandi. Who is due…any minute. [...]

Photobooths Revisited

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

I just found THE coolest thing ever. Here’s reason #253 I’d like to get remarried (to the same person, of course)…
A TRAVELING PHOTO BOOTH
You can rent this photo booth and everyone at your wedding (or party, I guess) can hop in and get as many pictures taken as they want!
And it automatically prints two copies, [...]

A Berry Berry Princess

Monday, May 5th, 2008

Wow! You guys had some great ideas for quick princess costumes! I wish I had posted earlier! I ended up finding a tutorial here that seemed easy enough. And after a trip to Hancock and Michael’s, take a look at my little Strawberry Princess…

Is she cuter than cute?! Ack! She was so excited to be [...]

Etsy Links & Big Questions

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

My niece is turning four this week. FOUR. How can she be four?! I saw her when she was minutes old (after waiting at the hospital for 17 hours). And now she’s FOUR?! *sniff*
She’s having a Strawberry Shortcake Princess party. You didn’t know Strawberry Shortcake was a princess? Well, I guess even fictional characters have [...]

Springy Eastery Type Party!

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Easter is four days away! Four days and we are still wearing coats outside! What happened to spring sandals and sleeveless Easter dresses? I guess Lydia and I will be stylin’ on Sunday with tights and hats!
I have a thing about Easter. It started a long time ago—when I first heard that the word “easter” [...]

Post Party Depression

Friday, January 11th, 2008

Well, I thought my snowflake party was good until I saw this.
Did you click?
Go ahead. Look around. Then come back here…
Waiting…
Now, wipe off the drool from your face and tell me how GORGEOUS that is!
Maybe I can save up and do that for Lydia’s wedding. She’ll probably have to get married when she’s 98, [...]

How Could I Forget These?!

Thursday, January 10th, 2008

Chocolate covered marshmallows rolled in sprinkles and/or rocky road crunchy stuff!!! This yumminess was in lieu of a goody bag.
I wanted them all to be rolled in the white sprinkles because it looked more snow-y. But they all turned out cute. And they were surprisingly delicious. I usually like my marshmallows burnt over a campfire, [...]
