Do you ever have a daydream where someone hands you $10,000 in credit to World Market in order to makeover a room (or multiple rooms in your house)? Me too! It is only a dream right now, but won’t be for someone (see below)! Here is some of what I might do if that lucky…
What could be better than pink ruffles, pajamas, nail polish, goodies, good friends, and a great cause all in one night? Not Much! I hosted a Sleep Pink Party this week in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Although breast cancer is a serious matter, raising awareness and funding for cancer research doesn’t have to…
After making my son’s special baptism invitation, I wanted to carry the theme through to our dinner celebration after the baptism. At first I wanted to do a Book of Mormon mystery menu, like my sister had done before. BSB vetoed it on the grounds that it would be a lot of work to serve,…
September was a big month for my little man! My son turned 8-years-old, and was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I’ve shown you the fun ways we marked his 8th birthday earlier in the month, but now I am going to show you what we did for his special…

Halloween Printables? Party Invitations? What would you do with yummy candy-corn-colored card stock? After I show you how easy it is to make your own paper, you will want to make all kinds of seasonal things. A few weeks ago, I received this package of gorgeous colors of RIT dye to experiment with! Initially, I…
Have you started thinking about Halloween, yet? It has become a tradition for our family to dress as a group each year. My kids actually LOVE this tradition and through out the year can often be heard suggesting and “casting” a favorite theme. We know what we are doing this year, but the how isn’t…
This post is dreadfully overdue, but one of my favorite parts of SNAP! conference in April was getting to speak on a panel with Michelle of Maddycakes Muse and Sarah of Confetti Sunshine about how we plan fabulous parties on a budget.
