An insane amount of creative ideas
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 [...]
Since we are still in the month of LOVE, I thought it appropriate to show a little love to the sponsors who have purchased sidebar advertising with me.

Once upon a time… a little girl wanted to have a fairy birthday party. So her mother sent invitations to all of the little fairies and gnomes in the land, asking them to come and celebrate with her.

This isn’t the first time I’ve had this request from a reader. I’ve done 4 or 5 of these invitations for little aspiring sleuths and [...]
All photos (except invitation) by Jodee Ballantyne Last week, Shannon from My Baby Clothes Boutique did a guest post (and a GIVEAWAY) about having a tea party with your toddler. So much of what she said reminded me of this party my daughter and I threw for her friends. It wasn’t her birthday, or [...]
