Maybe you aren’t the type to host your own party and build a cheese display, but rather the guest who shows up to eat! When I’m not the host, my role certainly switches to eater. Don’t be surprised if you invite me to your party and I just stand near the food all night. Maybe […] Read more…
It is officially fancy party season! I love this time of year for several reasons: the weather, the cheer, the food, but also because of the parties (which really boils down to the food, right?). Sure, fancy parties can happen all year long, and this guide will help you regardless of the month, theme or […] Read more…
Magical Color-Changing Punch is such a fun birthday party trick for kids! Magically turn blue punch into pink punch, naturally. I think this is so cool, and kids think this is pretty cool, too. Who doesn’t love magic, especially when it involves food? I set up this magical color-changing punch at a recent My Little […] Read more…

I recently shared with you a Ballerina Party that was full of pink and tutus. This Birthday Girl wanted a ballerina party, but Mom wanted a fairy party. So we combined the two. The very talented Elyse created a Fairy Ballerina character to grace the invitations and pop up here and there throughout the party. […] Read more…
About a month ago I received a “Party in a Box” from Kerrygold. Of course I had to put it to use! Kerrygold is a company which started in Ireland and they make some of the best cheese and butter I have ever tasted. I have been a fan of Kerrygold for several years. Long […] Read more…
Pink Pink Pink! That was the theme of this 4-year-old birthday party. Birthday Girl is a ballerina and, fittingly, wanted a ballerina party. Ballerinas certainly can dress in other colors, but this client came with a request for pink everywhere. I used two shades of pink and added some white for a little dimension. Dot […] Read more…
Each year my friends and I get together to have “Friendsgiving” dinner the weekend before Thanksgiving. Okay, this is only the second year we’ve done it, but it is now tradition, and if I have any say we’ll continue this tradition annually. I have compiled photos of our menu to give you a little inspiration […] Read more…
