It’s our 3rd anniversary this week! HOOORAY! Such an exciting time to celebrate and plan our own party! I wasn’t quite sure what theme to go with since you typically don’t have “anniversary themes”, I decided to scroll pinterest and see what 3rd birthday theme I could spin off into our anniversary party. The only theme I kept seeing was “young, wild, and three” but it was with this very childish safari type theme, which is cute for the kiddos, but not quite what I was wanting for our shoot. I ended up deciding on using this theme, but wanted to dress it up, make it a little fancier and a littl ..read more

I’d be lying if I said planning my daughter’s birthday party isn’t one of my favorite things to do. I truly love searching for products, color schemes, floral arrangements, creating decor and design ideas… and then watching it all come to life brings me so much happiness. This year Lydia turned 5 and she had been telling me (probably since February) that she wanted to have a bunny party. I thought she’d change her mind, and didn’t actually stock up on all the cute bunny products that come out around Easter, but she didn’t. So, I spent the month of June searching for bunny products which is no ..read more

Ombre Love Garland Who else remembers their school’s Valentines Day parties? They definitely were my favorite. I loved creating my Valentines box that would collect all the fun cards and candy, And going to the store to pick out which cards I wanted to pass out, then opening all the cards, hoping that my crush gave me a card hinting that he liked me too. Such fun memories! Here I am 20 years later trying to find any reason to throw those parties again because they were so much fun. Luckily my crush is now my husband and he better be getting me something that shows me he loves me. I have linke ..read more

Do you remember the elf in The Santa Clause, Judy, who made the perfect cup of hot cocoa. To this day I still dream about what her hot cocoa might taste like. This time of year is filled with so much joy and magic, and the way our kids eyes lit up when we told them we were going to have a Santa party makes all the effort we put into planning absolutely worth it. Our kids are obsessed with hot cocoa, like ask for it all year long, so when we saw this cute Santa tableware, we knew a hot cocoa + Santa party needed to be planned.   The fun thing for me was that I used a lot of Christmas de ..read more

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite times of year. I love food, and I love spending time with my family, so the two together make for the best day! The only part of Thanksgiving I don’t love… the cleanup. Is it possible to do thanksgiving on paper plates and plastic cutlery, but still have your table look dreamy? We decided to take on that challenge! We created a modern and clean color palette for Thanksgiving that we hope you love as much as we do. We’ve included links below to the products we found. If you have any questions let us know, we’d be so happy to answer them for you! Faux Leather ..read more
