For a few summers now, I’ve wanted to do a lemonade stand with my twin girls. It just seemed like one of those rights of passage, you know? An all-American summer activity. We made ours a snow cone stand for charity. I work from home, so this summer, the girls have...
For those of you who don't know, I guest blog over at Love the Day. I guess Lindi and I are a "style match" -- I love her printables and she likes my parties. So when I saw Lindi’s “Home of the Brave” 4th of July printables collection, I was immediately touched by her...
My twins have officially reached the age of "Mom, can you change the radio station?" Every time we get in the car. And they always ask for one of the country stations. Which started my party planning wheels turning ... all we needed to do was to combine country music...
I think it's fair to say we've gotten to know each other over the past 2 1/2 years here at Double the Fun Parties. So for those of you who've been around all this time (thank you!) and for those of you who are new (welcome!), you know I like to throw some big, blow...
Give me a "C"! Give me an "H"! OK -- you get the idea. It's a cheerleading party! I helped my friend Stacye throw this party for her daughter's 9th birthday. Stacye was a high school cheerleader and now coaches her daughter's cheer squad, so her girl was all sorts of...
Here in Atlanta, we have a Christmas tradition that stretches back 50 years. In 1953, our hometown Rich’s Department Store (now Macy’s) introduced Priscilla the Pink Pig. It's such an event each season that it seems only right to have an after-party, so I hosted a...
A few weekends ago, I was lucky enough to be able to help my nephew's family celebrate his daughter's first birthday fiesta! Sweet Madelyn could not have had a better time at her party! Her mom Brooks did most of the work and I just dashed in at the last minute to add...
Back in February, my sister-in-law Kathy and I were honored to host a hearts and doilies bridal shower for our nephew Eric's fiance, Ashley. Eric and Ashley are now married and expecting! So Kathy and I teamed up again and hosted a dinosaur baby shower this past...
Does the question, "Mommy, can I have a sleepover?" strike fear into your heart? When you think about planning a slumber party, is "mimosa for mommy" the only thing you can think of? I'm here to help! In June, I hosted a sleepover for my twins and four of their...
Hi all! Hope you'll visit me today at Love the Day, where you can see part two of my Night Owl Sleepover Party, featuring Lindi's Night Owl Printable Collection! On Monday, Lindi blogged about our dessert table. And today, she's featuring the pizza-making and party...
Saturday was my mother's 70th birthday and Tuesday will be my step-sister's 60th birthday. So this weekend, we hosted a joint This Is Your Life birthday party for them. On the show, the host holds a red and gold book and from that, I took our color scheme. Party...
One of the thrills of my childhood was going to the library to check out a new Nancy Drew book. And once my girls started reading Magic Tree House and American Girl Doll mysteries, I realized they were ready for Nancy Drew! They immediately fell in love with the...
This weekend, my sister-in-law and I hosted a bridal shower for our nephew's fiance, the very sweet Ashley. Since the party was so close to Valentine's Day, and Ashley likes a little vintage flair, we went with a hearts and doilies bridal shower theme. This was very...
When my two turned four, they wanted two different birthday parties. I split the difference by creating a dress up birthday party, so each girl could dress in the theme of her choice. Their friends came in costumes, and wore ours, adding loads of jewelry. It was a...
Tailgating should be easy on you and on your wallet. So I thought I'd see what I could put together in a just a few hours of planning and food prep. I spent about $26, plus food. Take a peek inside my Georgia Bulldog tailgating party, with a focus on desserts. You can...
** See the food and décor: Halloween Trick or Treat Party. ** In my house, the minutes creep by until it’s time to trick or treat. So, I planned several trick or treat-themed activities to keep the kids busy at our Halloween party. I held this party in our basement...
I was going to skip creating a Halloween party this year. It’s my absolute busiest time of the year, and I thought I’d be a fool to take on one more thing. But my party pals changed my mind and the result is my Halloween Trick or Treat Party. Zoila of Squared Party...
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...
