What NOT to Pack in your Hospital Bag

What Not to Pack in your Hospital Bag via 11cupcakes free checklist download

Throughout my pregnancy, there are many things I said would never happen that happened. Your water doesn’t break before labor begins, that only happens in the movies I said. My water broke before I started contractions. There is no way I will deliver this baby early, first time moms are always late I said. My water broke […]

Harvest Festival Block Party

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. Flyers were sent out to houses in the area and given to kids at neighboring schools. Overall it […]

Baby Girl Shower

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 […]

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. Since the party […]

Circus Baby Shower

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

July 15, 2015 By Holly Leave a Comment Filed Under: Baby Showers, Celebrate, Circus Party, 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 […]

Planning parties and making logos for as long as I can remember 🥳 #partyplanner #partyonabudget #thatsdarling #pursuepretty #11cupcakes #blogwithheart #beautifuldisaster
Welcome to northern Minnesota, circa 1995. My Grandpa built me a dollhouse for my 5th birthday, and 30 years later, I gave it back to him. For the first six months of the pandemic I transformed the tiny house into a replica of my grandparent’s house circa 1995, re-creating some of my favorite memories of holidays and summers gathered together as a family at their Minnesota lake home. The remodel started when my family got stuck at my parents during the stay-at-home orders, and when it looked like we would be there a while, I dusted off the old dollhouse to create something new. The original plan was to make it look more modern. Then, I got the idea to make it a miniature version of my favorite place on earth. Although it only stands 3 feet tall, it is full of tiny details and some of my favorite childhood memories. #11cupcakes #artistherapy #dollhouseminiatures #dollhouseminiature #dollhousetherapy #dollhousetour #miniatures #covidprojects #covidproject @mforminiatures

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. 🎃🎤🦖
