I spend a lot of time writing about kids' parties, so I thought it was only right to show off some of my favorite grown up parties. Check out how original and creative these are!

Creative Girl Productions' Hip Hop 80's Party -- The money backdrop is so perfect and the birthday boy looks totally authentic in that photo.

Tali from A Party Studio designed these sweet baby shower wishing tree cards and was kind enough to offer them to our readers. Thank you, Tali!

I love the whole idea of wishing trees because they let your guests write special messages to the mommy-to-be and baby that can be displayed during the shower on a branch, small tree, or even curly willow from the craft store, then saved forever.

I'm seeing a new party trend on the horizon so I wanted to be one of the first to write about it: Lalaloopsy parties.

Lalaloopsy is a line of rag dolls introduced in 2010, and has become all the rage with young girls. Even thought the dolls are new, what's fun about these parties is there's a nostalgic feel to them.  

I just discovered that you can tint mason jars and make them look like this, and all it takes is a little Modge Podge and food coloring. I found this easy tutorial put together by Heidi of My Beautiful Mess.

What I like about this tutorial is that Heidi paints the jars on the outside instead of the inside like most tutorials I've seen. This way, if you want to use them as floating candle votives or as flower vases you can. Personally, I think I'm going to use them to store odds and ends.

My daughter, Lainey, will be finishing preschool in June and heading to kindergarten in the fall. This is the first time I'm starting to feel nostalgic. It really is true what they say about being a parent: the days are slow, but the years are fast. Where have these five years gone?

I'm not usually sentimental, but I must confess that when I see people display monthly photos of their babies during their first year at their first birthdays, I wish I had done that. I think I was just too busy and overwhelmed (and sleep deprived) to even think about it.

Wanessa from Wanessa Carolina Creations used a $2.50 tote bag from Target to create this adorable St. Patrick's Day tote.
