I first heard about Junie B. Jones books by Barbara Parks from my friend Elizabeth, who asked what I thought of them. Was Junie B. a bad influence? Meg and Grace had been given some Junie B. books, so I started reading them out-loud to the girls while they were in the...
If you've been following my parties, one name you'll see over and over is Amy of Scrumdiddlyumptious Bakery. I'm not sure that "bakery" tells the whole story, because Amy also is a talented felt artist. She put both those skills to work in this Woodland Fairy &...
(With apologies to Oprah.) I know for sure that I love making parties for children. Your kids, my kids -- whomever. It just makes me happy to delight children. I love collaborating with moms. It's always a blast to see what ideas they already have, and how excited...

Today, I’m happy to welcome MyPartyPlanner.com as a guest blogger. They’ve introduced me to the idea of foam parties, which sound like a blast! Just have the kids wear swim suits and you're all set. I received compensation for this review, but all opinions are my own....
I heard about a new online tool that identifies color palettes and tried it out for you. I thought it might be an easy way to choose a color palette for your next party. I have to say I was pretty excited about the possibilities of Chip It by Sherwin Williams, but a...
My week has been a little nuts. (How about you?) One of my girls broke her pinkie toe. You know how they say all you can do for a toe break is buddy taping? Not my girl. She actually has to be in a boot for 4-6 weeks. All that is to say, my "alien life" week has not...
