The main event of the birthday party was the rocket launch–and it was a big hit! (Or should we say, “a blast!”?) My husband and I used empty 2 liter pop bottles, glued on fins and nose cones and spray painted it all to make the rockets. This post has the link where we got…
Our little astronauts were treated to a kid-friendly space-themed feast at our Rocket birthday party. All of that rocket building and launching can work up quite an appetite. Here’s what we had at “launch time.” Remember these cafeteria trays from our “Back to School luncheon”? Well, it turns out, they make good astronaut trays, too….
Carrie from Oikiology 101, taught me how to make my own html button! I’ve been wanting one for a while now! So if you are a little crazy, too, let the world know it, by nabbing my button!
Our astronaut birthday boy needed a birthday cake that was out of this world so we landed on the moon as the perfect cake for the occasion. (get it?) This is a strong contender for the easiest cake I’ve ever made. I’ve used this Wilton Sports Ball Pan Set (affiliate link) for all kinds of cakes–except for any…
(Inspiration board made up of Michael Miller fabrics, and IKEA furnishings)In a couple of weeks, my mother, who is a magician with a sewing machine, is coming to visit me.

For weeks now, I have been following the story of Stephanie Nielson (Nie Nie) and her husband Christian, who were in a private plane crash and are now trying to recover from very critical burns. I’ve checked in daily with Nie’s, sister Courtney, on her blog, cjanerun–at first, for updates on the victims, and then…
Laurie, over at Tip Junkie, is inviting us to share a tour of some of our favorite things in our homes, for her “Talk To Me Tuesday” Feature. I’m going to cheat a little since we recently moved, and really haven’t started decorating our new house. I’m going to show pictures of decor from our…
I am seeing this event planner on all of my favorite blogs (Oh Happy Day, The Hostess Blog), lately. And with good reason! Her desert tables are simply works of art! Her portfolio is appropriately titled “Eye Candy” and it is! I’m loving the Halloween table, but she has something for nearly every occasion!There are…
