Every time a bell rings…

I was talking to my lovely mother this morning, who told me that Kali loves Tinkerbell! I haven’t watched any of the Tinkerbell movies, but I think I have some okay ideas for a fairy princess party. We’ll see what Kali thinks. I would start by decorating the house with some giant flowers. Design Sponge made these huge super-cute flowers but these poster-board flowers look a little easier to be honest. The huge scale should help the kids feel even littler, almost *fairy-like* (I hope).

These mini cupcakes would be add to the scale of the party too. I would top the cupcakes with some edible glitter and put the extra golden glitter in these fairy-dust containers.

Cupcakes baked in ketchup cups, so cute for a party or a shower! You can use a flat baking sheet too as the cups are strong enough and don't need a muffin tin.

I love how Hostess with the Mostess utilized mushrooms and butterflies for this fairy party. It might be fun for Kali and her friends to paint their own little mushrooms, but I’m leaning more towards butterflies myself. I’d also add some sweet banners and a few decorative bells for the kids to ring. You know what they say! Magical Backyard Pixie Hollow Tinkerbell Party

I think Kali would need a flower-headband! This tutorial makes it look so simple! Some edible fairy wands would be fun too!

This fairy outfit is so cute! And I love the detail on this Tinkerbell bow! So funny.

You think she’ll catch on that I have no idea what Tinkerbell’s story is?

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

First of all….Can you name the seven dwarfs? Just try it. Kills me every time.Okay moving on. Of course today’s party I’m working on a Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs themed party. I think I would start by setting up a little “forest” for the kids to walk through on the way in- complete with either stuffed or cardboard cut-out animal bunnies, chipmunks and deer. Little birds (most likely paper) would be hanging from the door frame. I’d be going for this kind of feeling (but with the princess not so sad let’s hope!) I would love to have a dress up station with a nod to “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”. Maybe something like this but more down to earth like this . Of course there would need to be apples galore. Candied apples? Carmel apples with a carmel apple decorating station? Rice crispy treat apples ? Donut hole mini apples ? Oh the options. (I also looove the Snow White cut-out in the mirror- adorable). Some sort of poison potion (with dry ice) would be super cute too. Maybe...

Dog Days of Summer

Well, my acrylic stamps didn't happen to work out on the cookies, but I found a purpose for them. I was practicing dipping Oreos in white chocolate when I got the bright idea to stamp them. I tried a few different methods, but my husband had the winning idea. Take a look. My methods- leaving the stamps in the white chocolate while it dried, using a greased stamp (gross, don’t do it), and using a stamp on nearly hardened white chocolate The winning method (eh hem- Josh’s method), putting the stamp in the white chocolate then freezing the cookie That man is a genius! I think they turned out super cute. I can’t wait to use this for a party. I’m kind of a sucker for my dogs so I was actually thinking about hosting a dog’s day out. If not, then I’ll probably keep this in my back pocket for Optimus’ birthday. Like I said- I’m a sucker for my dogs.

I thought I was fat

As a woman, I've always placed a lot of value into what I weigh and how I look. In the past few years especially I've been doing my best to move away from that, to focus on being healthy and feeling good, but those thoughts creep up for sure. It's my 6 week check in and I've lost 4 more pounds, so basically I still have 18 pounds to go. I started out these 6 weeks by going to the gym and only drinking water, but after week 2 Eli got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got sick for 2 (make that 5...) weeks, then I got sick for 2 weeks, then Anias got an ear infection and would NOT sleep. He wouldn't fall asleep for 2 hours past bedtime and would wake up for hours. He's actually still doing this and he's still sick. Thursday he had a 101 fever so I took him in to the urgent care and his ear infection in his right ear did not go away. They put him on Augmentin and it just destroys his tummy. He actually vomited 3 times Friday on top of it all. I'm not used to thi...
