If you have spent much time on Pinterest you have seen some pretty spectacular children’s parties. Every time I see one of those, I think that would be such a cool party if I was way more talented than I am and willing to shell out a bunch of money on a kids party! But …
Adorable owl themed baby shower for a baby girl. One of my good friends is quite the princess. She and I are so very different, but we make such great friends because of it. She and I were given the opportunity to throw a baby shower for a dear friend of ours. We were so …

One other recipe from the party that I wanted to share was the punch. This punch is so easy and super versatile. I wanted the punch to be a teal color, so I picked a blue Kool-aid. But you could make this just about any color you wanted. Just pick a flavor that will go …
We are having a wonderful time in Idaho. We are busy having fun and just enjoying being with my family. I wanted to share one of my favorite treats from my mother’s 50’s themed party: Mason Jar Soda Floats. Kerry had the great idea to have soda floats in mason jars. We prepared the jars …
Lucy and I threw a retirement/60th birthday party for our mom. I’m sure she’s glad I’m telling the world she’s turning 60. And actually she isn’t turning 60 until October and she retired in March. But we decided to have the party while Lucy is here. The party was 50’s theme. Our mom was born …
