I think maybe it was moving to Denver that changed us, because it’s kind of a requirement here. So now we watch football (of course), and […]
Throw A Cookie Dipping Party
We’re pretty low-key party people here. We’ve got four kids and if I went overboard, I’d have to do it for each of them and I don’t have the money or the mental energy for that, you know? So we try to do things at home, or take just a few friends out for a […]
5 New Year’s Eve Party Ideas for Kids
New Year’s Eve can be a drag. It’s a night meant for parties. You always feel like you should be going out somewhere fabulous, and drinking champagne, and dancing in a fancy poufy gown…and really, you end up on the couch in your sweats, trying to make it to midnight, blowing those little paper blower-thingys, and heading […]
Fun, Cheap Party Ideas

Everyday Extraordinary. (Have a Tea Party)
Scene — last Thursday night. Our house. Me: “Soooo…we’re having 3 four-year olds over in the morning for a Birthday Tea and I haven’t gone grocery shopping for this at all. Can I do it?” My husband (kindly but regretfully): “Ooooh. Yeah. I have a feeling you’re going shopping. Sorry.” Challenge accepted. ‘Cuz I’m ornery […]
