This is a Flashback Friday–except it is a Thursday, because I wanted to give you a chance to do this on Friday if you so choose. It got the kids pretty good and wasn’t too much work! ****** {Originally posted April 2, 2010} April Fools’ Day Fun! I wasn’t sure between pregnancy and my music…
Thanks for the great response to our primary ice cream party last week! Several of you requested more specifics about the activities and games we did. I’m going to share the parts I was involved with, and then I’m turning this post over to my friend, Becky, who did a great job making and coordinating…
Our school carnival was this weekend and BSB and I got involved sharing our insanity unique talents. I worked with my friend, the PTA president on all of the advertising for the event. I think when it comes to school events, a lot of people think you have to keep things basic because of…
I’m lucky to have another one of my family members here to blog about home decorating projects, while I am working on some of mine (this is the only time you’ll hear me complain that my pantry is too big). Trina has shared some fantastic projects on the blog before (Check out the Good Knight Party, and the…
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Pier 1 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Spring is officially upon us! One of my goals for this Spring was to redo my front porch area and while I may not make it before it gets too hot here in Phoenix (my…
I’ve been teasing about this event for a couple of months, but I finally got some pictures and can show you the ice cream party we threw for the kids at our church on a teeny-tiny budget, and what possessed me to spray paint a plastic tablecloth. I currently work as a leader in…

Today, with permission from Kate’s mom, we (Stephanie, Kristyn, and I) have decided to post about Kate’s story on each of our blogs to show…
I was long-distance for this entire project, so the only credit I can take is encouraging the purchase of an entertainment unit for the purpose of converting it into a kitchen, and making sure my sister, Shanda, had seen adequate inspiration from blogland before attempting this make-over. She got things rolling, but it is really…
Fun shamrock-shaped pancakes, using the squeeze bottle technique plus some green food coloring (the hole in the middle is because some kids think that candles should be blown out on St. Patrick’s Day, too). Someone turned the milk green! I wish I could blame some mischievous leprechauns for this mess, but I’m afraid this one was man…
While there is no shortage of frothy, frilly girl parties to drool over all around the land of blog, I am often asked for more ideas for the some-times forgotten boys–especially as they get a little older. My sister has four boys and has thrown them some amazing parties (see here and here). She has…
