I recently planned and hosted a baby shower for a dear friend, who is expecting a precious baby boy. Undoubtedly this cherub will follow in his momma’s footsteps and be an adventurer, so the “theme” was all about the outdoors and going wild. It was gender neutral enough that is played to both Mom and … Continue reading
A Pinch Hitting Gift Idea
I am beyond excited about these tiny treasures! Being an event planner, and an all-around busy bee, having something compact that will come to my rescue in the event of the unexpected/undesired happening (or a “mini-mergency”), thrills my heart and warms my soul. This is the most adorable and functional idea I’ve seen in a … Continue reading
Our Eclectic Little Nest
Our first home has been a formidable opponent. After months of remodeling, landscaping, and desperately looking for furnishings and decor that I daydreamed and then had to have…we are nearly finished with stage one of the house. I say stage one, because I quickly learned that it will never end…I’m already daydreaming new things and … Continue reading
A House Full of Love (and a lot of records)
Kyle and I recently had our wonderful and talented photographer friend Laura (LaurelBelle Photography) over to take some post-wedding lovey-dovey, but still very “us” photos in the new house. Not only was it an opportunity to capture this very unique and special time in our lives, but also a chance to Kodak capture our first … Continue reading
Sharks: Totally a Reason to Party
Shark Week has become a big thing around our house. This year we hosted our first annual Shark Week – Shark Party, and it was a blast. I ruined one of Kyle’s t-shirts transforming myself into a shark-bite victim, but in keeping it real…he has way too many t-shirts anyway. I wanted to share because … Continue reading

Life is short, have parades and eat cake as often as possible. For such occasions, Studio Oh! has created these lovely little parties in a box for pop-up … Continue reading

Save a tree, send a video
Disclaimer: This particular blog post specifically speaks to those planning a wedding or elopement. With all of the technological capabilities available today, paper save-the-dates, invitations, etc are becoming only one of many options for getting information distributed about an upcoming ceremony. Although I am not a HUGE fan of form template invitations (Evite, SomeEcards), there are manners in which … Continue reading
Host or show up to your Halloween event in sweet sweet baggy style!
I’m not exactly sure when Halloween became a platform to wear your panties in public, but for those who do, I say NICE WORK! It takes guts and cellulite immunity to pull that off, so congratulations on both. For those of us who aren’t really equipped to be a slutty leprechaun or red light district … Continue reading
Human Interaction and Tinkerbell
Remember the part in Peter Pan where Tink is ill and the audience is solicited to say “I believe” in order to restore her strength? Well, think of face-to-face human interaction in today’s society like Tinkerbell in that part of the movie, dying…disparate…fading fast. Consider this my call to action to bring human connection back … Continue reading
