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 […]
5 Ways to Throw a Great Milestone Birthday Party
One of my favorite things about throwing parties is making them personal. Finding a theme or idea that suits the person is always more fun than a generic party. The theme of the Sobriety Party I threw for a friend was Pepsi because she absolutely loves Pepsi. This Teal & Sparkle Bridal Shower was perfect […]
Harvest Festival Block Party
When Redeemer City Church asked if I would throw their first Harvest Festival, I WAS IN. They wanted to create a fun afternoon filled with games, prizes, crafts, food and music that the entire neighborhood would enjoy.

One of my favorite shower games is a ‘purse scavenger hunt.’ We divided the shower guests into groups (by table) and told everyone to take out their purse or handbag. Give the host a list of random items you might find in a purse or handbag. As items are called, the first table to bring […]
Party Games: Feeding Time
Clothespins in a milk jug is a classic party game and with great reason. The supplies are easily available and children of all ages are able to play. For a Zoo Party we wanted to add something to this game to fit our theme. We decided to use the birthday boy’s favorite animal as inspiration […]
