So we’ve talked about some fun you can have with your husband and friends this year, and some ideas for cute school valentines (& I keep finding more online), but Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year, and so there is a long weekend to spend with kids who may want to do more…
This progress report has turned into a more lengthy endeavor than I had planned. I guess that means I made a lot of progress. I am going to outline some of the things that were accomplished and some of the lessons learned from the process. Don’t forget to link-up your progress reports/lessons learned/projects accomplished at…
When I wrote that bit about not blogging for a week, I thought I was joking, but look…I haven’t posted for a week. I was pretty caught up in the drama of your votes and wondering who would win the coveted title of Favorite Party of the 2nd Annual Blogoversary Party Party (I think I…
Finally, the moment you’ve all been waiting for! I know they always say that picking winners is so tough, yada yada yada, but this was really SO TOUGH! That’s why I am glad you are doing the voting for me to pick the final winner of the party party, that will get $30 to Paper…
I don’t think I realized what a feat it would be for me to select the finalists in my party party competition last week. There are really so many fantastic and diverse parties to choose from! I would highly recommend going back to the post and reading them all! I am having a terrible time…
Between technical difficulties and a whirlwind week of organization/rearranging furniture, thanks to my generous SILs who are here helping a poor pregnant woman, I have not been able to pick my finalists, yet, for my party party. There are a lot of great parties to choose from. I think I have visited them all, but…
Last year, around this time, my friend, Jennifer, asked me for some ideas for a car-themed birthday she was throwing for her 4-yr.-old son. That inspired this post, full of fun “High-octane” party ideas. She ended up throwing a fabulous party that my kids and I got to attend, and I took lots of pictures…
OK, everyone! It’s time to celebrate two years of blogging madness! It’s party time! I’ll go first: Back in the middle of November, when everyone was frantically posting about Thanksgiving and Christmas, we threw a WILD surprise party for my sister-in-law, Kristin. Of course, I didn’t get a chance to blog about it then, but…
Do you send “thank you” cards? It is becoming a lost art. We usually make or write thank you cards, and then forget to deliver or send them. My mother-in-law, unfailingly sends us a thank-you after Christmas and birthday/mother’s day (they are about the same time), and gently reminds us to send them, at least…
If you are feeling like me, this year, you might not be ready to throw another shindig, and are enjoying some empty spaces on the calendar for recovery, and serious home rescue efforts. On the other hand, I know some of you party animals never want the holidays to end. That’s ok! There are plenty…
