back in the party saddle (and a soda pop bar!)

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.Between the crazy summer of no internet and Typhoon Soudelor (and our extra transitional last few months), all of my creative pursuits have been solidly on the back burner lately.

And then these last couple weekends I threw two parties back to back (I don’t do anything halfway- if I’m going to re-enter the Creative Pursuits world, the deep end it is).

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.With this plunge back in, guess what I realized, friends? I really love making things and throwing parties!

I know that probably shouldn’t be such a crazy realization (haha!), but sometimes a little space and distance brings such perspective. Sometimes the blogging side of my world muddies the waters and makes me wonder what parts of my creative pursuits are me and what parts are for the blog. And this little break has helped me realize just how much of a part of ME creating really is. As in, with no blog, I still would throw crazy parties and make things for my kids.

That may seem obvious (and it is once I really consider how I’m wired), but it’s been such a great reminder and realization for me.

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.Which brings us to a little sneak peek of Piper’s extra-late birthday party- the soda pop bar!

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.I think if you weren’t a crazy party person like I am, you could add this little soda station to any party and it’d be the One Big Wow Factor to carry the whole party. I didn’t do that (because, like I said, deep end), but you totally could.

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.The best part of this soda pop bar is that it is both easy and inexpensive to put together. The lineup of pretty sodas cost less than $25.

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.And the marquee “P”s were so easy to find on sale (they’re everywhere right now!). I spray painted a basic “O” to complete the P-O-P sign, added a whole pile of balloons (I got the fun colors from Sweet Lulu) and that was it!

Looking for an easy (and inexpensive!) way to add "wow" to your next party? This Soda Pop Bar is perfection! So cute, but easy on the budget and on the prep time.Seriously. So easy and SUCH a fun addition to Piper’s party. More to come…

a cozy hot chocolate bar for the snow bunny party

hot cocoa bar

It’s no secret that we love a good drink station (see mimosas, sangria, more mimosas, lemonade). And a Hot Cocoa Bar is the most classic of drink bars. Plus, for a Snow Bunny themed party, what could be more cozy? The addition of the Keurig provided a source of always available, constantly hot water- perfection. I am […]

kojo tutorial- DIY cake pop stand

With my love for all things Cake Pop (and their frequent party appearances), I’ve been meaning to come up with a quick and easy (and cheap!) DIY Cake Pop Stand for awhile now. After putting a few functional-yet-easy-on-the-eyes cake pop stands together for Adam’s grad party, I’m sorry I waited so long to make them. […]

sips etc. red-and-white blog launch party!

You know when you’re having such a great time at a party that you don’t want to leave (or if you’re hosting, you don’t want your guests to leave)? That’s how I felt Saturday night. It was the perfect combo of low maintenance menu and decor, fabulous guests, having the chance to actually visit with […]
