Back to School Party for Adults

I literally laughed out loud when I saw this party. 

Especially after reading the phrases on the straws.

"hurry kids, you'll miss the bus."

You can print everything off for free here.

"

 I guarantee though, I would throw something like this if all the kids were in school. 

I'll have to save this idea.

Would you like a cake garland...

... this one in particular?

It fits a 9 inch round cake wonderfully!

I'm doing a little summer cleaning for my etsy shop and revamping a lot of things.

I am feeling a little happy about everything so I want to give this to someone.

For free. With love. 

All you have to do is leave a comment with your name and

an email (if it isn't linked to your name). 

And then do a little dance. Because I like revamping things.

Stay tuned for a new look in the shop. I'll let you know when it opens up again.

Hurry and leave your name!

I'll announce the winner on Friday, the 5th.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July weekend to you!

-In case you need some last minute decorations for your picnic, head over to The Sweetest Occasion for free ones!
-Aren't these the neatest fruit pops you've ever seen?!
-And because it is now illegal to light fireworks here in Hawaii, we'll have to make some of these paper sparklers (especially for the toddler).

 {please light off some fireworks for me}

Hot dogs

I love hot dogs. Any kind, and especially loaded with lots of toppings. 

Have you ever tried shredded potato chips and raisins

(along with the regular toppings)?? 

 It's the perfect salty-sweet combo and is surprisingly good. 

(I had them from a lunch wagon in Brazil, too many times)

I think our 4th of July celebration will be something like this:

The Royal Couple and a Golden Birthday

 

The Royal Couple knows a good date for a wedding when they see one... April 29th!
It's not only the 5th anniversary for my husband and I but it is also my birthday. Yes, we got married on my birthday (my husband will never forget important dates).
And this coming Friday isn't just my birthday... its my golden birthday.
29 years old on the 29th!!!

Since your golden birthday only happens once a lifetime, I'm celebrating big time.

Actually, It's been a 2 week affair. ha! My 2 kids and I have been celebrating the past week and will continue on celebrating this coming week.

Some of our activities:
-hitting up Target for some new swim wear, Easter outfits, and clothes
-making homemade play dough
-picking out some new shoes
-eating malasadas
-having some pre-Easter egg hunts (practice, I say)
-strolling down to the petting farm with the kids
-the beach
etc.

And no, we won't be tuning in to watch the big Royal wedding next Friday. We've decided to celebrate our own special dates with our kids here in Hawaii for a little staycation.
Which I am too excited about.

But here's to you, William and Kate!

Milk & Cookies party

I love the idea of a milk and cookies party. It's a great way to have a beautiful buffet but without all the candy- a healthier alternative (well, not exactly healthier, just not as bad).
