Office themed party

    There's a lot going on in the world right now, and I don't know about you, but any reason to celebrate should be...celebrated. I threw together a little birthday shindig for my good friend Alisa who is a fellow office fan, and with a few touches and purchases, put this outdoor, socially distanced party together! First, let me make this … [Read more...]

Girls room update!

If you know me at all, I get the itch for decor change around the house pretty often! I can't help it! I don't think I'm alone in this though, don't we all crave something new and fresh every so often? Last year I started on a revamp of the girls room, which began with a purchase of Beddy's bedding-it is the PERFECT bedding for bunk beds and seeing … [Read more...]

How to train your Dragon party

Well, it took a few years, but we finally jumped on the How To Train Your Dragon movie band wagon last year, and Ava fell in love with the movies, books, and tv shows! So when I say she had this theme picked out for awhile...I mean it, lol! It was SUCH a fun party to put on and to plan. From the decor to the food to the invites, I had a … [Read more...]

Barbie knit top pattern-improved version!

For those of you long time readers, hello! Do you remember when I did this tutorial, way back when? In time, the pattern became lost and undownloadable (it's a word don't worry about it), but I found my hard copy recently! YAY! So I fine tuned the pattern and digitized it and it is now available to download and print for free … [Read more...]

outdoor movie night party

Sadie had her heart set on an outdoor movie night party this year, and lucky for her, August is the perfect month to have one of those in! My in-laws have an amazing outdoor screen that we used, (similar) and it worked out great! We had quite the crowd as many families joined in on the fun! It was BYOS-Bring your own seating-and we put out all … [Read more...]

Secrets and Suitors book review

So excited to review another of my talented sister's amazing novels! This one is titled Secrets and Suitors! I absolutely adore this book. The story is compelling, original, and fresh (I read a lot of Regency so this should mean something lol!), and the characters are so realistic. The protagonist, Nora, is quite shy and deals with some social … [Read more...]

kids clothing review

As you might guess, with four kids around the house, that equals a lot of clothes! Kids clothes are (obviously hehe) some of my favorite things to make, or pick out! I've leaned away from making kids clothes over the past few years, just a preference...mostly because there are SO many cute options out there! And getting wholesale children's … [Read more...]

simple wood necklace organizer

I've seriously meant to make this for so long, bought the hooks and wood even, and then promptly lost the wood. I lose everything, people. I lose my phone at least 2x a day, I lose my sanity on the regular, and I have even hidden birthday presents so well that I had to give them the next year. Cuz I couldn't find them til then. So basically it … [Read more...]

Charlotte’s Camping party

Charlotte picked a camping theme for her 9th birthday party, and at first I was a little stumped! Then I started poking around Pinterest and settled on a vintage summer camp vibe and got excited about planning it! First, the invite! Invite is available in my Etsy shop! Kept it simple with the decor & dessert table, just some gold letter … [Read more...]

Jack’s Cars Birthday Party

Jack's third birthday party theme could only be one thing-Cars! He's been OBSESSED with the movies (mostly the third), for the last year at least. I also have been redecorating his room in a Radiator Springs theme, so I was already invested lol! Let's dig in! As usual, there will be some affiliate links, which help immensely with future parties! … [Read more...]
