DIY Football Field Tablecloth
The tables under the tent. Hmmm.... how do I make them "sporty"? The party tent is one of my favorite things to decorate for the parties I throw. My best gal pals assistant event coordinators and I gather the morning of, grab some coffee and meet under the tent. It's the heart of the backyard. Where family and [...]
Cardboard Party Ideas
When SuperDAD walked in and asked me what "ALL THAT CARDBOARD" was in the trunk of the car for I wasn't sure how to answer. I knew he'd think my inner Craft Hoarder got the better of me... AGAIN!!!

EmotiEGGS – Plastic Easter Egg Activity
Am I too late? Have you already packed up your plastic Easter eggs? I hope not! Let's reuse those colorful little eggs. I did! It was fun, super easy, and the best part... kept my 3 year old busy for 45 minutes. In kid-time, that's almost an eternity!!! I saw this idea over at Laughing [...]

Is there anything better than a homemade gift? Something personalized and meaningful. You know me, if it gives me a reason to pull out my glue gun or Mod Podge, I'm all about it!!! I love crafts and I definitely love me some gift-giving, and guess what? Today's little post has the best of both worlds. Here [...]
