First off, a sweet Happy 2nd Birthday to my little Ava! I've always wanted to do a woodland party theme, and I figured I'd better do it while Ava still has little to no say in her party!

If you couldn't tell by now, I kinda love throwing parties. I've hit a good balance lately between minimalism and what I call "I've lost my marbles" party planning. I dangled a baby shower tantalizingly in front of my sister (mostly to get her to come VISIT! haha!) and that took place a few weeks ago. She's worked as an editor for a few years, … [Read more...]
