I owe a lot to Kori of Paper & Pigtails: she was the first blog to publish one of my parties (see my July 4th party here). With absolute honesty, I'm not sure I would have had the confidence to launch Double the Fun Parties without that boost from Kori. So, I'm...

In our family, Thanksgiving belongs to one sister-in-law, Easter belongs to my other sister-in-law, and Christmas is a free for all. Halloween is all mine. So this year, I styled a Sweet Halloween Party (not a spooky one) for everyone to come over and celebrate. We...
Maybe it's because I have two girls, but I like a cute Halloween instead of a spooky one. Of course, for me, that means polka dots! So I decided to try making my own polka dot spider Halloween wreath this year. My six-year-old assistant and I whipped this together in...
