Celebrations deConstructed - New Online Party Magazine

I want to take a moment to give some much deserved recognition to Kim over at Party Frosting.  She just launched her fist issue of the new Online Magazine called Celebrations deConstructed.  She worked extremely hard on this issue and her amazing efforts paid off.

Check out the magazine here.

Kim provides party theme ideas and step by step instructions on how to put it all together.  I cannot say enough about this magazine!  You will have to check it out yourself!

While visiting her at Party Frosting you will find an endless supply of party ideas, recipes and some great shopping deals she finds!  There is a party theme for everything under the sun! 

Happy party planning!

What fun!

Recently my daughter was invited to a birthday party for one of her best friends, Kaleb. At first I was hesitant because it was indoor go carting....for 5 year olds??? But then I looked into it and we couldn't miss this party. They brought out about 15 Jeeps and cars just their size. It was adorable. At first Allison was reluctant but it did not take long for her to get in her groove. She went around and around by her self and the then with a younger passenger.


She had a blast and didn't want to get out of the car!

After they all got to ride around the track for close to an hour....it was time for pizza, cake and ice cream. While the were eating, all the cars were brought in to the party room. The kids got to ride...or more specifically...crash into each other like bumper cars.

As I watched her in the car....her is one picture which seemed like a glimpse into the future....yikes!

Lately it seems like I am getting more chances to see how fast she is growing up and what I have ahead of me....and it is really scary! It remember myself all too well. Good times are ahead for sure!

Have a great Wednesday!

It's Party Time

We moved in to our new home almost 3 months ago and ever since everyone we know has been asking when we are going to have a BBQ. Well it looks like we have set a date! Next weekend! Now I keep telling myself "keep it simple," "don't go overboard," and "make it easy for yourself" Well I don't really think that is my style. I have found so many blogs with the BEST party ideas, I have way too many ideas in my head of what I can do!

I found a couple ideas to use on the Entertain Exchange blog found here.

I love the lemon label holders!

The lanterns are adorable.

And these have to be the cutest cupcakes for a BBQ EVER!!!!

Taken from the blog Frost Me which came from the cook book Hello, Cupcake, page 24.

SO many ideas...SO little time!

Have a great Wednesday!!
