Last night was my music recital for the year, and I tell you I am exhausted today. The big bummer is there was plenty of insanity involved in the refreshments and such, but with everything else I was trying to do, no camera, and no pictures. 🙁 Maybe I can re-create a few things and […]
Spa Day Party – Pretty Pinata
May 11, 2011 by 6 Comments
When discussing what my daughter had in mind for her birthday party, this year, I was surprised to learn that she really wanted a piñata. We have them sporadically for birthday parties, but she hadn’t had one for a couple of years and decided there should be one at this party. Of course, with a spa […]

What a difference a year makes!
May 3, 2011 by 5 Comments
In just a little more than a week’s time, my oldest turned 10 and my youngest turned 1. I think I’m in a little bit of denial. How is it possible that I have a 10 year old? And how come my baby is starting to look like a little boy? Of course, I have […]

That was Thursday (same day I took treats to my daughter’s school for her birthday). Friday was her birthday party (held […]
