Lilly Pulitzer Inspired Pool Party
I’ve wanted to do a cabana pool party with Lilly Pulitzer decor for as long as I can remember. My older daughter’s birthday is in November so that theme never worked out for her but the little one has a June birthday. I was seeing traditional pink and green cabana decor from the time she popped out! Knowing this party would eventually happen, I began stockpiling random decor over the years whenever I found things on super...
A LuLaRoe Birthday Party
I occasionally refer to one or two of my equally party obsessed friends when I’m sharing my own parties with you, but I have one friend, in particular, who really isn’t equally obsessed. She’s waaaay beyond. She lives for the thrill of pulling together over-the-top parties and unlike me, she generally does most of it fairly last minute, into the wee hours of the night. I call her crazy, she calls it amazing. Potato, po-TAH-to. Meet...
Vintage Shabby Chic Mad Hatter Tea Party
In effort to continue recycling birthday themes, we had tea party, round two this past weekend.

I didn’t want it to be an actual Alice in Wonderland party but I was in love...

Since we live in the Tampa Bay area, we are very familiar with living the life of a pirate. Growing up with Gasparilla means learning to speak Pirate at a very early age, mateys. Fortunately, this makes it much easier to throw a Pirate Birthday Party without a ton of...
Elmo Birthday Party
I have to add a disclaimer to this post right up front. The photos are TERRIBLE because they were taken on my phone, long before I considered they’d wind up on a blog, in a hurry as people were walking in the door. But despite the quality of the photos, I really wanted to share these very simple and very affordable ideas for a small scale DIY Elmo Birthday party. As a mom who has thrown one too many over the top parties, this...
Cinderella Birthday Party
A fancied up Cinderella Birthday Party without the cleanup or fuss…sort of.
Purple Polka Dot Carnival
An over the top 3-ring circus that changed my crazy ways…temporarily.
