Teaching a Toddler: A

I have a 15 month old and our day to day schedule has gotten stale to say the least! While browsing Pinterest (the saving grace of how many moms?!) I found a lot of preschool ideas and decided we’d start doing our own Pre-Preschool! Every week we’ll learn about a theme, letter, color and 3 words. Every day we do an activity focusing on one of those. She’s a huge animal lover so I thought it was only fitting that our first theme was animals. For our animal activities we read her animal books, put together her animal puzzle, brushed our cat and watched her favorite Sesame Street episode, the pet episode!

Sweet 60

It was my mother-in-law’s 60th birthday today. My sisters-in-law and I threw her a chocolate themed party since she’s a self admitted chocoholic! For the food we focused solely on the main star…chocolate! We had a chocolate fountain as well as various things to dip in it. Salty: Pretzels and chips. Fruity: Strawberries, Pineapple, and bananas. And of course you can’t forget Sweet: Marshmallows and Rice Krispies.

Till Death Prep

My husband and I are celebrating 10 years of marriage this October! Every Halloween we throw a Halloween party. I’ve always wanted to do a vow renewal at 10 years but with it so close to Halloween I didn’t want to throw 2 parties. Instead I had the idea of combining our annual Halloween party with the vow renewal and thus our Vow-lloween Party was born! It’s a corpse bride theme and everyone will be coming in costumes! I can’t even stand how excited I am for this party but man I forgot how much work a party of this magnitude is! We just delivered the invitations so I can finally put them up!IMG_0159
