Awesome Basketball Party Ideas

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #GreatTasteTourney #CollectiveBias We didn’t used to be big sports people in this house. 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

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

We love being invited to friends’ Big Birthday Parties. Parties at rec centers and bouncy house places and places with ziplines and princesses and swimming and things. But our four kids have birthdays within a three-month period (for a while we have a birthday every two weeks), so if I did that here, I’d be […]

Skittles Cake

It’s time for our annual Birthday Blitz. Three of the kids have birthdays within the next month…which means treats for school parties and kid parties and present shopping and more than one slumber party. Oh goodness. Pray for me. Last weekend was my ten-year old’s party, and when I asked what kind of cake she […]

Hosting a Book Club with Gloria Ferrer Wines

I do love my Book Club. Aside from giving me a fun night out with my posse (‘cuz that’s right. We mamas roll in posses, yo), Book Club also makes me read stuff I wouldn’t pick myself (not even lying to you — we read Jane Eyre and Rob Lowe’s “Stories I Only Tell My […]

Everyday Extraordinary. (Have a Tea Party)

October 21, 2014 By Laura Leave a Comment

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 […]
