Not all birthday parties have to be bright primary colors, especially before your little one is old enough to have his/her own opinion about the theme and decor {wink}. So if you have a very busy bee running (or crawling) around your house, consider some of these fabulous ideas: Bee hive cake from Family Fun magazine Custom …

I always start with an inspiration board, so I thought I would share a few of the items that made my bling and blue list: Cocktail, paper lanterns, cake & flowers via Martha Stewart Weddings Austrian crystal heels via Shoella.com Pearl brownie …
My dad’s favorite Christmas special of all time is The Grinch That Stole Christmas (you know, the old 30 minute animated one). When we were kids I believe he had more fun stomping around pretending that he didn’t like Christmas (and giggling each time we got grumpy with him about it) than he did eating …
I’m constantly browsing for ideas and I thought I would show you some of the inspiration I collected when working on our recent addition, “Baby Bump.” Here are some of the items that were in my collage for our pink & brown polka dot baby shower: Chocolate & Raspberry Napoleon Heart from Martha Stewart Centerpiece from The …
