After living with the Yo Gabba Gabba Mantle for almost a month it was time to up my game. I was lucky enough to be picked for an American Crafts glitter campaign and tons of glittery goodness arrived at my doorstep. This is what I did with that glittery goodness. The paper bunting was so simple to make. The glitter paper came in 12x12 sheets, like your typical scrapbook paper. I cut it in half (two 6x12 inch strips). I then cut each strip into three parts (each 4 inches). This left ...

Eleanor Turns 2 & A Gabba Gabba Dance Party
On Mother's day Eleanor turned 2. Let that sink in for a second. I started this blog just months after she was born and she is 2. We celebrated Yo Gabba Gabba Dance Party style the Friday before. Since Eleanor's birthday fell less than 4 weeks after the delivery of her little brother via c/s, I was hardly on my A-game. No matter what, I knew I wanted her to have a party. I didn't want to make it a habit of forgetting the middle child only 4 precious weeks in. Plus, I love throwing my kids ...
Oh, The Places You Will Go Baby Shower & Pinwheel Favor Boxes
My twin brother (also known as my womb-mate) and his wife are expecting their first child. They are due three weeks after me.

Pirate Party Dessert Table/Feature Wall
Quinn's birthday party was two weekends ago, he officially turned four on the sixth. Everytime I say: "I cannot believe you are four!" Quinn's says: "Mom, are you gonna cry?" Yup, they grow up so fast. So, so, so fast. At any rate, I think it is about time I got to sharing the deets on his Pirate party. I have a lot I want to share, but today I am just going to focus on the dessert table/feature wall. The wall went from fall: to Pirate Party: To Halloween: We ...
Pink and Coral Wedding Shower
My sister was home this past week and it was fabulous. While she was home she threw together a shower for her BFF. I was a guest and couldn't stop myself from snapping pictures with my iPhone. Excuse their quality. The beverage table was darling. There was a gorgeous coral bucket full of wine on ice and another one full of mini bottled waters. Cute little wine glasses were set out and adorable mason jars with fun straws. I just love these colors. Pinks, ...
