May 21
16 Comments

Everything is finally lush and green, so it’s time to get outside for a woodland breakfast party!  You may know by now that I LOVE to entertain outdoors!  It’s really one of my favorite things to do…whether it’s a big bash, dinner on the patio, or just hanging with family or friends around the fire pit, there’s just something about being outside that makes it feel extra special!  Today I’m so excited to share some fun ideas for hosting breakfast in the sunshine…something that most of us have waited long enough for!  This fun gathering designed with kids in mind would be a sweet end to a sleepover party, a birthday bash, or just an anytime celebration!  The great thing about most parties is that with minor tweaking you can make them age appropriate for ANYONE!  Whimsical touches keep it lighthearted but nothing really screams that it’s only for the little ones!  So whether you’re planning a celebration for your tots or want a sweet idea for hosting a brunch, I really hope you love this party inspiration!

Christmas cookie decorating is such an anticipated tradition for so many holiday lovers! I always look forward to baking days and often have several cookie decorating dates with family AND friends!  It’s easy to make cookies ahead, freeze them, and have them ready when you want to make Christmas memories!  I know my boys have enjoyed this tradition over the years so I was so excited to partner with Party Mazing and Grand Rapids Popcorn to bring you some inspiration for hosting a cookie decorating party designed for the kiddos!  Even luckier for me…having friends who’s littler tots could partake in the fun!  So let’s get right to it today and share in the sweet festivities!

Christmas cookie decorating…delicious holiday joy!

A grownup birthday party can be every bit as special as the festive shindigs we throw for the kiddos!  I love all the sweet details you can add to make a child’s party darling…but as my boys have grown, they eventually stopped wanting those cutie-pie decorations.  And while I totally understand, I still miss adding those whimsical touches to their parties…so, what’s a girl to do?  Save the cutsie decorations for the grownups!  You can still keep it simple without skimping on the fun factor…and maybe serve an adult beverage too!  Today I’d like to share these easy DIY party ideas for celebrating…and it’s “purr-fectly” festive!
