Baby Girl Shower

July 10, 2016 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Baby Showers, Celebrate

My husband and I are currently preparing for the arrival of our first child this fall. If all goes well, our baby girl will be arriving in October. We couldn’t be more thrilled and are knee deep in baby registries, furniture assembly, and Daycare tours. While I was home to see family last week my […]

Warm Up With Hot Chocolate

January 24, 2016 By Holly 10 Comments Filed Under: Celebrate, Christmas, Hot Cocoa Bar, Party Food

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 […]

Neighborhood Picnic

I recently had the pleasure of planning a celebration picnic following the launch of a new church in Washington, DC. Redeemer City Church was having their first service in September and asked that I plan a fun afternoon with games and food for everyone who was helping and attending later that afternoon.

There were so many fun details to this Circus Party Baby Shower that would be easy to recreate. From the crepe paper circus tent to the large marquee letter to the circus ‘elephant steps’ and ticket garland. My favorite thing was the circus tent over the table that was made from crepe paper streamers. Starting at […]

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. Appetizers consisted of mini hamburgers, sandwich wraps, fruit, popcorn and circus peanuts. For dessert we had mini […]

Circus Party Style Board

July 13, 2015 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Baby Showers, Celebrate, Circus Party

I recently had the pleasure of throwing a Circus Baby Shower for a friend at work who is expecting twins. Once we decided on a circus theme I spent a few days scanning pinterest for ideas and inspiration. When I had a board full of party ideas, I put together a quick style board. Knowing what […]

Scrabble Bridal Shower

May 20, 2015 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Bridal Showers, Celebrate, Scrabble Bridal Shower

This week we’re featuring this fun scrabble themed bridal shower my family threw for my cousin’s fiance. Ryan and Nikki love to play games, and all family holidays and weekends involve charades, cards, and trivia games. I thought it would be fun to do a Games Shower theme, with a small emphasis on Scrabble. With scrabble being […]

She insisted on dressing up like Reba McEntire, and thanks to her new love of country music I now know all the words to ‘Consider Me Gone’. Happy Halloween from the Queen of Country Music and her dinosaur sidekick. 🎃🎤🦖
This is your sign to throw a COLOR PARTY🎉. ❤️💛💙💜💚🩷🖤🤍🧡

Our first neighborhood New Year’s Day parade was a success! 🥳 Thank you for the great idea #bobgoff
