With summer approaching, I can't help but think of ice cream, so I was planning to write a post about the incredible ice cream socials on our site. But then I noticed how many treats people make that look like ice cream, but aren't actually ice cream.

I love anything clever and fun, especially when it comes to dessert, so here are my favorite "ice cream" desserts pulled from different parties on our site. (Click on the photo to see the party it's from.)

We don't have a lot of mosquitoes here in Northern California (thank God!), but I remember those buggy nights in New Jersey when I was growing up, and how we'd go out to a summer party, and I'd come home with my body covered in bites. So when I found this DIY on making homemade citronella candles on Garden Therapy, I had to share.  What a great idea!

The best part of this tutorial is that it explains how to add additional scents to your candles like eucalyptus, rosemary, peppermint, and oregano -- other smells bugs don't like, that aren't just citronella.

The Olympics are just a few day away, and at my house we're getting very excited (especially for gymnastics and swimming, my two favorite sports)!

If you're planning an Olympics party and you're cheering for the US, check out these "Go Team USA" Olympic printables designed by Ana of Love Party Printables exclusively for us! Thank you, Ana.

It's getting to be that back to school time of year again. Can you believe how fast the summer has gone?

If you're in the mood to celebrate, we've got these FREE back to school printables for you, designed by Emily from Magnolia Creative Co.

As you may know from reading my blog, I'm a huge fan of personalized anything at parties.

So when I saw these personalized pedestal letters spelling out "Tyler" in the middle of the dessert table at T's Summer Stripes Sprayground Birthday Bash, I had to know how Zoila made them.
