We have officially started transitioning into a new phase of birthday parties (at least with Burke)- to a more ‘big kid’ version. This year’s party was a smaller crowd (and no parents), with less organized activities (though, they played HARD in the neighborhood pool for the first half of the party) and no theme (unless […]
the most refreshing dessert table- a gelato bar!
Burke is not a huge dessert guy, but he LOVES gelato! So when he asked for a pizza party for his birthday this year, gelato was the natural pairing (and also, his dessert request- lucky coincidence!). Turns out, setting up a gelato bar was way (WAY!) easy. Like you-could-put-this-together-with-almost-no-notice-to-offset-the-crazy-heat-of-August easy. We grabbed a whole lineup of […]
the sweetest Sweet Shoppe
Loved Burke’s Pizza& Gelato Party last month. As I was setting up the Gelato Bar in the apothecary cabinet that my mama gave me years ago, I was thinking about all of the fun treats this cabinet has housed- Sprinkle Party treats, a couple different Donuts Bars, a Cotton Candy Bar at Piper’s Moana Party (details […]
a moana birthday party for piper!
Moana was one of our family’s favorite movies last year (even though it makes our hearts hurt missing Saipan and all of the ocean-y, island-y beauty of our former home!), and I wasn’t surprised at all when Pi asked for a Moana party this year. I mean, it’s a picture of irony to be here […]
a bright and colorful donut party
When I told my nephew Easton that I’d throw him a birthday party and that he could choose any theme in the whole world, he said “DONUT PARTY” without skipping a beat. A man who knows his own mind- I love it. And I loved putting this party together for him (even though it has […]
a confetti bar (and other new year’s party ideas!)
We aren’t hosting Christmas this year, but we are hosting a sure-to-be-fabulous New Year’s Eve party (creatively dubbed the New Year’s Extravaganza) with some family friends and we cannot wait! Since we started party planning this week, I got out the pictures of last year’s New Year’s Eve party and thought I’d put together a little […]
a party full of pink, princesses, ponies & more
I can’t believe I’m just sharing this party now, y’all. Better late than never, though. Especially with a party this cute! Piper’s birthday party this year did not quite pan out the way we’d planned. The original plan included a princess-y, garden-y vibe (kind of like the new Cinderella movie) and lots of Rifle Paper Co. […]
bright & modern pirate birthday party
Although I anticipated several consecutive years of Lego birthday parties, our proximity to the beach wooed Burke toward buried treasure and pirate patches this year. Black and white with pops of color made a bright backdrop for a “Pirates & Pajamas” party. Brunch was Burke’s birthday party meal of choice. His requests were Voodoo donuts […]
science party drink lab
I hinted yesterday that there was more science graduation party goodness to come, in drink station form. And even though I can’t take credit for this idea (it was Jord’s stroke of genius), it was totally the grad party’s greatest hit. Two words- Drink. Lab. Yep, it was as awesome as it sounds. After filling test […]
