When styling our new Ice Cream Social collection I really had to consider all the challenges with serving ice cream, especially if you wanted to have an ice cream dessert table (I’ll share mine in my next post). When planning the menu, I knew I wanted to have a few healthier options and in my house …
I shared our new ice cream social collection invitation and thank you notes with you a few weeks ago and today I’m sharing one of my favorite childhood ice cream treats along with the collection’s printables. I mean seriously, don’t these push-ups take you back?! For me they conjure up memories of my sweet grandmother and long summer walks. …
These mini gumball machines are perfect favors for the July 4th holiday! It’s not always necessary to give favors, especially at low-key family gatherings like most of us will host this weekend, but if you can squeeze it into the budget, it sure can be fun! And what’s better, they can be placecards when dressed up with our FREE printables. We designed placecards/favor tags, straw slips and napkin …
For our recent ice cream social party collection shoot with Angie Arthur Photography, I whipped up a simple and fun DIY ice cream cone balloon craft that’s just perfect for summer! I used a Balloon Time Tank, polka dot balloons and party hats (why try to make a cone with scrapbook paper when you can pick up party hats already assembled!) from Target, …
We shot our new Splash Bash collection last Tuesday at a local splash pad (free water park with huge sprinklers, water guns and bucket water falls). We had eight models ranging in age from 4 to 12 (because let’s face it, there is no age limit on water fun), over 100 water balloons, lots of snacks, and some …
Wow has this week gone by in a blur! We had a new collection shoot on Tuesday (sharing the invitation next week), I’m prepping for my youngest son’s fifth birthday party this weekend (last year’s was the dino-ROAR), I’m working on giving my girl here {my blog} a face lift, and I now have images to share from our …
I ran across Lisa Storms blog this morning and just fell in love with these simply and clever DIY party ideas for the 4th of July! You already know I love crepe so the little ruffle vase is just too cute, but it’s probably the “let freedom ring” that got me. And she did all …
I mentioned on twitter and facebook last Friday that my boys were hosting a mini-luau playdate for their friends. That’s right! They worked on the decorations, “cleaned” the windows and put the cushions out on the deck. (They’re only six and four so it was really sweet to see them care so much about the appearance of things before their …
With a fabulous Father’s Day weekend behind me and a busy, and maybe slightly hectic, week in front of me (new collection shoot tomorrow and my son’s fifth birthday party this weekend), I thought I would start the week off with a shot of my very favorite cold dessert. There is nothing like a heaping serving of …
With Daddy’s Day (that’s what my boys call it) this weekend we’re looking for fun ideas to say “I LOVE YOU DAD!” and these are just a few of the fun and inspiring Father’s Day gift ideas that I found around the web. Father’s Day Subway Art via A Proffittable Life (free download available in …
