I love Valentine's Day. Maybe it's because it's my birthday month, I love pink, and I love... love.

So, here's my first Valentine's Day post of the season. Check out these amazing treats I found on Etsy. I want to eat them all!!

I got an email a few weeks ago asking me for tips on how to put together a dessert table. I thought this would make a perfect blog post. So here are my basic ideas (click on the photos to see what parties they're from)...

TIP 1

Today is my birthday! So in celebration, I thought this would a fun recipe to post.

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.

Wanessa of Wanessa Carolina Creations designed this incredible collection of free Dr. Seuss party printables in celebration of Dr. Seuss's birthday which is today!! Now you can invite some kids over, serve some tasty treats, and read some great books (my favorite being Mr. Brown Can Moo! Can you?).

Th collection includes: mini cupcake toppers, party flags, large party circles, drink labels, cupcake wrappers, blank tented cards, bookmarks, and 2 designs of fantastic patterned paper! Take a look...
