Sprinkled with Love Baby Shower.

I threw this baby shower for a friend last year. It was really fun to plan and pull together. I had a lot of help with the décor and food. The printables were designed my sister, Jaime, and the party theme was inspired by cupcake sprinkles. The invite:
A sign for the front door:
I bought frames from Michael's and sprayed them with adhesive and then put as many sprinkles on them as would stick.
 A friend of mine made this adorable baby sign with foam board and sprinkles and a pom pom garland with yarn. I love it.
 I'm in love with ranunculus flowers. I drove way across town to Trader Joe's to find these. It was well worth the drive. Aren't they beautiful?
 This is the fabric flower garland that now hangs on Avery's bedroom wall. I love the colors and feel of it.
 The food table.
 The dessert table. I wanted everything to be covered in sprinkles.
 I set up a table for guests to paint a wood alphabet block for the baby. I bought the blocks online and used vinyl letter stickers.
 The party favors were mini sugar cookies (with sprinkles on them, of course - bought from Walmart's bakery), in white bags.
 I gave these fun nail polishes to all the girls who helped me with the food and décor. I love seeing all of them together...makes my color loving OCD heart happy.
 My friend had her baby early, so we were so excited to meet her! She was the hit of the party.
Congratulations, Lyndsey!

  1. This shower makes me smile so big! It's just so pretty and bright and girly and happy! I love how everything turned out, especially your ribbon flower garland and sprinkle-covered frames and banner. So adorable!!! And that invite is one of my very favorites too. :)

Teacher Appreciation Gifts. By color.

With teacher appreciation happening this week, I knew I wanted to do something nice for my 3 kids' teachers. I fell back on my usual gift ideas, and did a combination of chocolate, gum, and goodies from Bath & Body Works. All women like those things, yes? And, yes, I'm kind of a color coordinating freak. I love things to match, so I first chose 3 chocolates at Target and then went to their dollar section and found a few things that matched the chocolates.  How cute are these pink and white thumb tacks? The little sticky notes are a very light shade of blue that I thought worked with the turquoise. And I loved the purple pencils and purple paper clips, too.  I made sure to get 5 small things for each teacher. Bath and Body Works always has cute little sanitizers, sprays, and lotions.   The white scalloped edge tins I found at Target in their party section with all the wedding stuff.  Luckily I had filler leftover from Easter, and I always have tissue p

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of trial and err

Teacher Appreciation Gift.

My son's school did a theme each day of the week for Teacher Appreciation... (flower day, note day, treat day, etc.) I spaced it and remembered last night that we hadn't done anything yet! ACK! So, to Pinterest I went and found this cute pin . Lucky me it came with a printable tag that says "ORANGE you glad it's almost summer?" I thought it was perfect. (And being OCD about gifts matching, this made me very happy.) Here's what's inside : Peach Nectarine Sparkling Ice drink - these are so yummy Lindt Intense Orange dark chocolate bar - one of my faves Dreamsicle candle from Walmart Country Chic lotion from Bath & Body Works Sweet Tangerines hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works Orange Tic Tacs and Tropical Trident gum Lots of orange-y goodness.
