When my son turned five, we wanted to celebrate with something simple, fun, and full of sunshine. We decided to host his birthday at our community HOA pool and invited neighbors, school friends, and their families to join us for a relaxed summer bash. We kept decorations playful and low-key—colorful pool noodles lined the fence […]
Minnie Mouse Valentine’s Party
My toddler has recently become fascinated with Minnie Mouse. I thought it would be fun to throw her and her little bestie a Minnie Mouse Valentine’s Day Party during their weekly playdate. It was easy to edit my Minnie Mouse Birthday party into a Valentine’s Day Party with a few quick tweaks. And an hour […]

They wanted to create a fun afternoon filled with games, prizes, crafts, food and music that the entire neighborhood would enjoy. Flyers were sent out to houses in the area and given to kids at neighboring schools. Overall it […]
Warm Up With Hot Chocolate
If you live on the east coast chances are, like me, you have spent the last 3 days hunkered down in your house waiting out winter storm Jonas. Having grown up in Minnesota, I am mystified by people’s reaction to snow here. The little amount of snow (or chance of snow) it takes to shut […]
Circus Party Food
Coming up with food for this Circus Baby Shower was a lot of fun. Most of the shower guests would be coming straight from work so we wanted to serve appetizers and dessert since it was around dinnertime.
