Whew! We have finally returned home from our annual summer reunions to see family and friends and as usual, had a most excellent time. The kids were over the moon with seeing grandparents and cousins and we couldn’t have been happier either. We pretty much didn’t see Little A at all in the past 3 …
I’m not sure what ye land lubbers have been up to but we be sailin’ the desert seas with our sights set on plundering some pirate treasure. We have many a more piratey adventures to share when we sail on back home and will be sure to share them with ye all then! Stay tuned…or …
So sorry to be MIA lately. We’ve been doing a lot of party planning around here for a lot of different events and have therefore been very busy. Last week my Little A turned five. I seriously can’t even believe it! I can vividly remember seeing him lying in the hospital basinet on the day …
Little O (formally know as Baby O…sigh…) recently turned two and we threw him a little Knights and Nobles birthday party, to coincide with his Halloween costume. With his b-day so close to Halloween we found that we need to either throw him a Halloween bash or a themed party based on his costume to …
Knights, King Arthur, castles, dragons, etc….they are all a big deal at our house. In fact we keep the boys from fighting over their medieval acquisitions by giving all red knight paraphernalia to Little A and all things blue knight go to Little O. So it only seemed fitting that for this years tricks-or-treats the …
I was asked to put together a Halloween photo booth for a trunk-or-treat after-party at our church this year. Being a fan of the photo booth movement, I was of course totally on board. I had grand plans for this but as the clocked ticked closer and closer to Halloween time seemed to melt away …
Aloha! I know we are well into October, and Halloween in on the radar…So…the only thing I can say is that I have to hurry and get this summer round up completed so I can delve into skeletons bones and black cauldrons! Shortly after the super-hero reunion we made our way out to Colorado for …
With yesterday reaching a record high of 113 degrees in the LA area (HOT, people…HOT!), I felt it only appropriate to begin my 2010 summer round up series. You might have noticed that I was a little MIA during the summer months, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t have lots to share with you all. …
When I asked Little A what kind of cake we should make for Jon’s birthday he said immediately and emphatically “a coconut cream donut cake!”. Jon and I looked at each other wide eyed, laughed and then smiled. Jon was definitely on board. I thought I would have to make this “cake” up but we …
The lovely Sheri Reed from the Stir (a Cafe Mom blog) asked me to be a part of a wonderful summer table setting series. It’s been so hot here in So Cal (100 degrees+) that I haven’t dared go outside to dine, but my little masked tea party could work just as well outdoors as …
