High School Graduation Monogram Party
I do try to blog but sometimes I am just not good at it! This graduation party was done for my darling daughter Maeli one year ago and I am barely blogging about it!

Finding an excuse to get together is pretty easy for me but to go all out with a party is entirely on a whole other level by itself. She (my daughter) definitely deserves it though as she worked hard her whole high school career. Graduation day was WINDY and a little cool. I raced outside the morning of before heading up to…

DIY Snowmen Chipboard Earrings
With the holidays right around the corner, Avry and I have been planning and preparing for a girls only teen holiday party.

I realize that many of you don’t own…

See how they found out what house they were in HERE. Also check out part Three of our party…

All opinions are mine alone. #WickedFantaFun #CollectiveBias Each year Krystal and I choose a theme for our annual Halloween party and this year we decided it be a masquerade Halloween party. Each woman adorned their own masks and joined us for an evening of giveaways, prizes, and food! We usually have 25 to 30 women in attendance so, we always have this party as a pot luck so some women we assigned a salty treat to share and some we assigned a sweet treat to share. We like to come up with a creative drink to share with our guests and this year we wanted to do a bit…
