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.  

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.

I want to introduce our first official contributor to the Catch My Party blog... Wanessa of Wanessa Carolina Creations! Wanessa is such a creative powerhouse, born in Brazil and now living in the US, Carolina adds a multicultural touch to every beautiful thing she does. Be on the lookout for her lovely printables and fantastic DIYs.
