Party Planning Mode



I've been a bit absent for awhile ...but party planning going strong! Got a Western themed Birthday at the end of the month for a little guy named Caleb, he'll be TWO! I'm getting soooo excited how adorable everything is turning out! Hope his Mommy & the little cowboy love the big day! Stay tuned for pics :)

My birthday is NEXT month...yes, a Virgo through & though! I'm planning a small gathering of my bestest girlfriends & guy pal, Brad....I'm so EXCITED! Theme is "Chick Flicks" minus any movies.....it's going to be a dinner party with LOTS of cocktails & yummy wine! My head is buzzing with ideas for this tablescape! Invites are going out tomorrow but I've included a sneek peek!

A Classic Pooh 1st Birthday






I wanted to create the most special Birthday for my little guy...so I basically made everything decorating "The Hundred Acre Woods" for his bash. The colors were orange, lime green & blue throughout. Classic Pooh party supplies are basically nonexistent so using cut outs of Pooh book illustrations, Pooh plush toys & lots of fabric & ribbons, I think fun was had by all at "Pooh Corner"...

Playroom Design






Not a party but when Cameron woke up yesterday morning to see all his toys moved into our formal dining room....it became a party! I had so much fun choosing the organization and theme of this room. Thanks to IKEA and a few frilly touches, his playroom has a bright Frog Prince theme. It is still a work in progress & I'll post the final design as soon as I find it!

I changed out the ribbon & painted over "pink" dots to become orange on this wall frog.

The archway into the kitchen became a bit fun with this circus tent.

It's so fun to see him discover all his toys now they they are all organized and in ONE place....for the time being...lol!

Can't wait to have his little buddies over for a playdate in his new room!

Playdate Christmas Party






In December, I hosted our Mommies & babies Christmas Party...it's my MOST favorite season & the house just sparkled with all the Holiday decor. We had cranberry/champagne cocktails for the Mommies & lots of food for all! Even a special visitor arrived from the North Pole to bring bags of homemade holiday breads I made a few days before.

Easter






Easter was a small gathering of just our little fam & my brothers. I set the dining room a little formal for our sit down dinner of spiral honey ham & all the sides! We stuffed ourselves & watched Cameron hunt for eggs in the backyard...

4th of July continued...






I frilled up the buffet table with a sparker centerpiece and festive plastic-wear packs!

The kiddos enjoyed all the snacks, Bar-B-Q as well as festive popsicles....it was a great Independence Day!

4th of July






This event started as a simple Bar-B- Q but once I started adding a few decorations, it got more frilly!


I made a kiddy table with smores & cookies as well as a basket of poppers & bubbles.


Another table displayed my cupcakes and a few other goodies.





Happy Independence Day!
