Parties

Last week McKinsey and Stephanie hosted the Supper Club girls for a chardonnay tasting. I am not normally a chardonnay drinker, but I was excited to see if the tasting would change my mind! I was certain Rombauer was going to be my favorite… The Wines Kirkland ($7) — Costco brand Kendall Jackson ($11) La …

It was Matt’s turn to host the neighborhood guy’s night this month so I whipped up some Hawaiian Ham and Cheese Sliders! Since it was a weeknight, we had very limited time to prepare for everyone’s arrival once we got home from work so we kept things super simple. For snacks, I served my go …

Last week I hosted my Supper Club girls for a rosé wine tasting! A few months ago I hosted a Sauvignon Blanc tasting and we all had so much fun that I knew I wanted to host a rosé tasting next! The Wine So I love and purchase all of these bottles of wine pretty …

By popular request, today I’m sharing the SUPER easy fruit and flower table runner I created for my girls wine night last week. I was so excited to pull this one together and absolutely loved how it turned out. I hosted this party on a Monday night and knew I would have a limited window …

Last week I hosted the Supper Club girls for a white wine tasting! But not just any white wine — Sauvignon Blanc wine! And not just any Sauvignon Blanc wine — Marlborough New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc wine! There are several of us who are really big fans of this specific variety of Sauvignon Blanc and …

Last weekend we hosted a few of Caroline’s friends over for a sleepover party. It was absolutely amazing and hassle-free, thanks to Sleepover Dreams, a new sleepover party business in Charlotte. When the company’s founder, Kally, reached out to see if Caroline would be interested in a party, we immediately said YES and selected the …

Last week I hosted Supper Club — my first one in our new house (can I still call it new?)! In the past I’ve always signed up to host dinner in February but was really excited to snag the month of October to change it up this year. I went back and forth on whether …

For Thomas’ third birthday we hosted a splash party in our backyard! For sure, this was his most fun birthday party yet! So, not only was this one of of our most fun parties, it was also one of our most simple parties too. A few weeks before the party I purchased all of the …

Caroline’s Flamingo Party for her 4th birthday was everything I imagined and more—bright, tropical, and so much fun! When she requested a flamingo-themed party, I was all in and couldn’t wait to bring the vision to life. We turned our backyard into a festive fiesta, complete with palm fronds, vibrant decorations, and of course, tons …

We rang in the new year with three of our best friend couples! The night was perfect and I couldn’t have imagined kicking off 2018 any other way. As soon as we got the kids down for bed (and blasted their powerful sound machines), we got the party started. Thomas slept soundly through the festivities …

I love our neighborhood SO much. SO much in fact, that I agreed to serve on our HOA board as the social committee co-chair and host the last stop of our neighborhood Christmas progressive dinner party on Sunday night. Trust me, that’s a lot of love… We spent the entire weekend festivizing (I just made …

We recently hosted a fun football watch party with friends and family, complete with good food, cozy seating, and plenty of team spirit. This is actually Matt’s party of the year and it’s the one he gets most excited preparing for. Last year we kind of blew this shindig out but since planning events weeks …
