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…
I’ve recently been asked by a few brides-to-be if I have any favorite on-line sources for wedding ideas and inspiration. I’m sure most everyone knows about sites like Martha Stewart Weddings or The Knot, but I have some other places you may not know about, that are full of wedding eye-candy and keep me planning…
I’m attempting to blog from my phone for the first time, because I am not up for sitting at the computer right now. This was not on my Spring Break agenda, but I’ve been slammed by a serious case of Strep. (It feels serious, anyway. Does Strep always?) Anyway, I had some fun posts planned…
It’s another Trading Spaces Tuesday! Did you know that my kids are on Spring Break already? I’m not sure what everyone else’s Spring Break schedule is, but I’m guessing that it will be here before you know it. If you don’t have exotic travel plans, you may be struggling with ideas to keep your kids…

I’ve had a couple of friends recently asking me for advice about baby showers they are hosting. I originally wrote this post for the blog “Or So She Says,” but thought I should share with all of you, how I come up with the crazy ideas I do for memorable baby showers. Hopefully this will…
Just in case you missed my guest post over on Be Different, Act Normal last week, I’m going to include my St. Patty’s Day round-up here. It is MARCH, already! Believe it or not! I’m not super big on St. Patrick’s Day (we might be a tiny bit Irish?), but I love most reasons to celebrate,…
1) Invite all of your neighbors to have sales on the same day, because that makes it more like a party, and you know how to throw parties. (And if your family gets sick and you don’t have time to sort through and purge all of your possessions, there will still be enough stuff in the general…
