Lauren’s Unicorn Party – A Gluten Free & Dairy Free Dessert Table
Last fall my little girl gained another year on me and as she is getting older I am noticing her parties are becoming smaller. Not as many people (her first and second birthday had a guest list of over 100 people!) and more about spending quality time with friends just the way she wants to. Of course her obsession with horses continues so we decided on a Unicorn Party since last year she had a unbelievable horse party. ... View the Post
Unicorn Party Ideas
1 / 2 / 3 /4 / 5 We are getting party crazy around here! In 2 weeks we will be finally celebrating Lauren's birthday with a unicorn party. Though it will not be as big as last years party, I still will have it styled to the nines! So I've started collecting some unicorn party ideas with her (yes she is very involved!). I have seen so many unicorn parties that are rainbow themed and we wanted to go in a different direction. We are thinking a more garden theme in the colors aqua, pink, lavender ... View the Post

Baby Elephant Baby Shower
I'm excited to share with you today a baby elephant baby shower I worked on last year. You may remember me sneaking peeks over on Instagram of me spray painting peanuts, drilling them and then stringing them onto ribbon. It was very tedious! But I think it made the ribbon and crepe paper backdrop truly unique and amazing! Our ombres of pinks with pops of teal not only sweeten this theme but give it a modern color palette. Creating a show stopping backdrop is a key element for me when ... View the Post

Lauren’s Horse Party – Horse Party Favors
You can't have a party without sending your guests home with some little favors that represent the party theme they just had a blast at. Of course when I asked Lauren what horse party favors she wanted to give her friends, she said horses. Why yes Laur. I will buy everyone a horse. I mean seriously. Well actually it proved easier than I thought when I went to the Orient Trading Co. site. With some gorgeous paper decorations from Dina, I decorated my old cart with just a few things. Her ...

Lauren’s Horse Party – Activities
We had so much fun with this party and there were so many fun horse party activities! The kids were very hands on with the horses and Woodhaven Stable is an amazing place. The ladies there let each of Lauren's guests have their own horse for an hour and actually got to walk them into the arena from the barn by themselves. This was HUGE for these little 5 year olds. Of course moms and dads were right by their sides to help out. For the hour they got to learn basic riding skills and got to do ... View the Post
Lauren’s Horse Party – The Dessert Table
I am so excited to kick this week off with full details from this amazing horse party for Lauren's birthday this last fall. With the holidays it got a little crazy to share this any earlier (and it will be in a national publication very soon!) but this party was AMAZING and we were so blessed to share this day with so many friends. I know you all know all the crazy health issues Lauren has had over this last year that culminated in surgery in the fall. So this little girl really deserved a ... View the Post
Be Still My Heart – A Sweet Valentine’s Day Party
I know I have said in the past Christmas is my favorite holiday but maybe I lied. I think Valentines Day is quite possibly my favorite! I seriously threw this all together and so can you. Having a Valentines Day Party like this one or this one is one of my favorite parties of the year (maybe because pink and red are so pretty together?!). Using left over party decorations from Lauren's horse party and creating a printable party decoration set around a Be Still My Heart party theme and I was ... View the Post
{Recipe} Layered Pudding Dessert

Here is what you need: - vanilla pudding - 4 cups of berries – we used blue berries - ¼ cup of sugar - 2 tsp of cornstarch - cool whip/whipped cream - shredded ... View the Post

Winter Wonderland Party – The Dessert Table
Yesterday we shared our Winter Wonderland Party and today we are sharing some of the details. Every party needs a fabulous dessert table! We made our party rustic with some modern touches in our decorating. For our dessert table, I used old window frames, branches from our backyard and wood pieces from our Halloween party last year. It really made the outdoors come in! Next we added in some yummy desserts that are very simple. Donut towers are HUGE right now and you might remember me ... View the Post
Winter Wonderland Party
I get really excited about this time of year. The magic and twinkle in the kids eyes (not to mention our own) and the spirit of giving surrounds us for this very special time. This year we decided to celebrate with a Winter Wonderland Party for Lauren and a few of her friends. We decided on a very rustic white and turquoise color pallet and used a bunch of stuff we had laying around the house like old window frames, birch stands from our Halloween party and holiday decorations from the ...

{Sneak Peek} Lauren’s Horse Party
We had a very busy end to our week last week getting ready for Lauren's horse party. I thought I would give you all some sneak peeks just in case you are not following us on instagram. The weather was less than ideal- one moment very humid and then the next minute pouring rain. I mean POURING! We had the most gorgeous cake delivered by Caroline's Cakery and some help from some of the sweetest friends to help us get ready before guests arrived and the rain began. Lauren loved everything ...
