boy fairy tale party-1

We were so excited to have Elissa of One Stone Events contribute to the summer issue of Festivities Magazine. Her fairy tale mash-up party is definitely a new favorite of mine! I worked with her to develop some new, unique printables for her event, and Nicole of Tikkido.com helped with darling Peter Pan inspired bunting and Pan hats.

chocolate ganache toffee cake-4

  There are some recipes that are just special. Maybe because they're handed down from generation to generation, maybe they are so yummy you rarely make it to keep from eating the entire batch, or maybe the recipe is just entirely too time consuming to make very often.  This Chocolate Ganache Toffee Cake falls into those last two categories. I have to budget for about 10 extra miles in my { Read More! }

One of the many places I write articles for is Celebrations.com. I loved the assignment I recently received to make a quick-fix, inexpensive dinner for company. I know the twelve all run into entertaining at the last minute at some point! The best place to start with quick-fix is always with pre-made components. Like sundaes with a  little canned dulche de leche and cinnamon sugar crisped { Read More! }

31 Star Wars Glam Jedi Training certificate 2

Star Wars is NOT just for boys. I would venture to say I know about as many little girls in love with these movies as little boys. And what I adore about little girls who love Star Wars is that they totally take a very masculine movie and twist into something very much their own. Like Amanda...who wanted a Star Wars Spa Party. Jedi training, nail painting and Princess Leia all in one fun package. { Read More! }

After some fun food experimentations, turns out I am sensitive to grains. No bread, flour, etc. etc. for me. At the mustache bash shower, I wasn't the only one with some gluten adversity, so it gave me the chance to stretch some culinary creative muscles and make something new. And by new, I mean new to me. Most will approach these bacon wrapped dates with a bit of trepidation when they see { Read More! }

Food. It's a key party ingredient. Something to drink and nibble on are just as important as the fabulous decor and party favors you plan. So how do you go about designing a menu that wows your guests, is easy enough to make and provides a good balance of choices on your table?

My friend Richelle is just one of those people that is a ray of sunshine wherever she goes and lights up the lives of those around her. I'm guessing it's all the sun and water she got growing up in the Florida Keys. The minute she let us know she was expecting another little one, I got excited to start planning out her baby shower. Richelle thought the whole idea of these mustache parties was a { Read More! }
