A couple of weeks ago I go a call from my neighbor on a Wednesday night. She was wondering if I had any ideas for her daughter’s birthday party THAT SATURDAY! She had sent out an evite weeks before, but hadn’t gotten around to any party planning yet. Of course, I had ideas–it’s My Insanity–I […]
Fishing Father’s Day
May 30, 2013 by 2 Comments
I have posted several fun Father’s Day ideas on the blog over the years. I think it is because men are a bit like big kids and it is easy to pick one of their hobbies or interests and create a whole theme around it. Last year, we celebrated my husband’s love of fishing with […]
Terrific Train Birthday Party
April 8, 2013 by 46 Comments
I’ve had a little break from birthday parties, but there are a couple right around the corner now. Before my son celebrates his 3rd birthday, it might be a good idea to blog his 2nd birthday. It hit at a really busy time last year and I just didn’t get a chance to get the […]
Mandi’s new BFF and my Katniss Moment
August 31, 2012 by 5 Comments
If you can’t tell by the title, this is my entry for Mandi’s from Vintage Revivals Epic Makeover Contest… I’ve been thinking about it for months–trying to decide whether I should have Mandi come figure out what to do with my family room, or my master bedroom. How would I plead my case? What […]
Ruffling Crepe Paper the easy way
February 16, 2012 by 3 Comments
Last week, I showed you the sweet surprise anniversary party I helped to throw. The highlight of the decorations was the crepe paper streamers that I ruffled in various combos and laid across the white linens. I’m pretty in love with ruffled streamers. This isn’t the first time I’ve used them. They made up […]
Boy Birthdays Revisited
September 3, 2010 by 5 Comments
My oldest son (2nd child) is turning 6 on Sunday! I was going to throw the big robot birthday for him on Monday, but too many of the potential party guests are leaving town for the weekend, so I have postponed the party for a couple of weeks. This is probably very providential, because I […]
Tea Party Revisited
June 1, 2010 by 3 Comments
All photos (except invitation) by Jodee Ballantyne Last week, Shannon from My Baby Clothes Boutique did a guest post (and a GIVEAWAY) about having a tea party with your toddler. So much of what she said reminded me of this party my daughter and I threw for her friends. It wasn’t her birthday, or […]

Makeovers–2008
January 8, 2009 by 31 Comments
So, in the blogging world, is it fashionable to come late to a party, or is it rude? Because I am doing it every time! But you know I hate to miss a good party, so I dash over for a little bit, anyway! Today (it’s today for 20 more minutes!), Southern Hospitality is hosting […]
Welcome Autumn
October 1, 2008 by 24 Comments
A year ago this time, I was anxiously awaiting the birth of my baby girl and needed some small projects to take my mind off of the guessing game of when she might make her debut. I had seen others writing messages on pumpkins and decided that the most appropriate message for us would be, […]
