Bride to Bee

Here is a sneak peak at my latest party...A Bride to Bee bridal shower. My sister is getting married in June and has found her honey so we're going to celebrate. She loves the color yellow and daisies which helped inspire the theme.























Stop back next week for party pictures!

Printable Parties

I am in love with printable parties! Themes, colors and parties are what I love. It is fulfilling to plan, dream and prepare a party. However party planning can get expensive and overwhelming. Printable parties help give me inspiration and direction while keeping the costs of decorations low.
Some of my favorite printable shops include:

~Paper and Cake
~Typewink
~Paper and Pigtails

Party for the Pooch

Parties are fun, exciting to plan, filled with joy and delicious treat. This week our pooch, Cabella, turned five. Now before we had kids she was our baby, slept in our bed, had a nice assortment of toys and the finest puppy clothes. Sadly to say that all changed once our two little boys came along and now Bella is at the bottom of the list.









However Trexen (2yrs) and Paceler (1yr) are very close to Bella so I thought a party was in order for this birthday. At first I let my over zealous mind go crazy thinking up fun themes, puppy cakes and party games. In the end I decided that wouldn't be the best use of our money and financial planning so instead I got creative. Everything at the party (except food) were things I had from previous parties or just miscellaneous items.









Bella's party was for sure filled with joy, happiness and amazing treats all for under $50. We had 12 of our family members over, enjoyed each other's company and couldn't get enough of my two little ones dancing and partying all night.









Next time you are looking for something fun, a reason to celebrate, throw a party for your pooch!
