Parties

Last weekend Mel hosted her 4th Annual Cookie Exchange! Over the years this exchange has gotten yummier and yummier as the ladies have become more competitive with their recipes. More than 17 types of cookies came to the party and each girl baked 4 dozen so Mel’s home was filled with more than 816 (!!!!) …

This month Kristen hosted Supper Club!    Without fail she always wins most fabulous tablescape of the year. I was so distracted by the wine once dinner was ready that I forgot to take pictures of Kristen’s delicious chili bar! For dinner she served chili, tons of toppings, salad, fruit and cornbread. And for dessert …

This month Laura hosted Supper Club!  We kicked off the evening with margaritas, dips, taser baton lessons from Laura’s husband (most hilarious thing of all time) and lots of girl talk! Isn’t her backyard perfect? It had stormed all day and Laura was worried her backyard dinner party would get rained out but the sunshine …

What a day to remember! A few weeks ago Thomas turned one and we decided to celebrate over two of his favorite things – pizza and popsicles. We designed the party to be simple and intimate so we could keep all the focus on the birthday boy. After all, he’s had one hell of year and …

Mickey Mouse Birthday parties are the ultimate way to bring a little Disney magic into your home, and I’m here to show you how we threw the most fun and memorable Mickey Mouse-themed celebration for Caroline’s second birthday! If you’re planning a party for your little one and want to add some extra sparkle, look …

On Saturday we had our closest friends over for a little boob-voyage. With so much anxiety surrounding my procedure it was unbelievably amazing to be surrounded by such wonderful friends. We drank too much, ate tacos, let the kids stay up hours past their bedtimes, played cornhole, ate boob cake, laughed a lot and said …

I still cannot believe that we recently celebrated a first birthday party for Caroline. This has seriously been the fastest year of all time and her party could not have been a more perfect way to celebrate our little girl. I began planning her “low key, intimate” Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star party several months in …

It takes a lot to surprise me. Any signs of mischievous planning and I am on to you. So it totally blew my mind that my girlfriends were able to pull off a complete surprise last week by throwing me a little sprinkle for Thomas at our monthly Supper Club. I’m not normally late but …

February was my month for hosting Supper Club! Last Thursday we had 9 girls around my dining room table chowing down on tacos, passing many bottles of wine late into the night and laughing until our full bellies hurt. Such good memories were made with truly amazing friends. I am so lucky. On Wednesday I …

On Saturday a group of girls threw our friend McKinsey a bow tie themed baby shower. It was super cute and fun. We cannot wait to meet her little man, Ford, in March! Here are a few of the shower details… We added tons of framed pictures of McKinsey as a baby around the house. …

This past Saturday 40 of our friends and family gathered together on the most gorgeous spring day to celebrate baby Caroline. I still haven’t quite come down from the high we experienced and feel so overwhelmed with love that my heart could burst! It meant the world to us to have so many people travel …

Last weekend my friend Mel hosted a Second Annual Christmas Cookie Exchange! It was so much fun and everyone walked away with full bellies, sugar highs, new recipes and buckets {literally} of cookies! The beverage station was quite impressive this year. Mel really outdid herself with chocolate milk, her famous Ho Ho Punch, a coffee …
