Speak Easy

It’s been a little quiet here in my blogosphere. I had a hectic hectic day at work, came home and made these bad boys

(I’m thinking of making it breakfast friendly- I’ll let you know how that goes) and then spent some time walking Optimus with the hubby. Overall a good day, but not much time to be a blogging.

I’ve definitely been brewing over how I can help raise money for Apraxia of Speech. My amazing/beautiful/awesome/smart niece Kamiree has Apraxia and I’m going to Denver in September to attend the 2012 walk. I can’t tell you how excited I am! Not only do I get to be in one of the most amazing cities in the country, but I also get to spend time with my amaaazing family. I’ve been thinking about setting up a little snack bar at the walk- but I’m not exactly how that would work out since I’m also walking. I’m not even entirely sure how to do that. Do you get a permit? Ask permission from the foundation? I definitely have to ponder this more, but of course I already have some ideas about the food.

My initial idea is to make cupcakes with the Apraxia logo on it. I’m thinking I would need a KopyKake (oh how that name makes me cringe), but it’s pretty pricey. I’ll have to think more about that too. Anyways- I’m convinced that  some green and blue white chocolate covered Oreos on a stick would be awesome. Colored rice crispy treats dipped in frosting would be good too. Probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but oh so good.

I’ve been dying to do a set-up in this fashion. Maybe I could even have water, Vitamin Water, and/or Gatorade for that extra color.

Sigh..the Gatorade bottle will not keep in line. It marches to the beat of it's own drum I guess. I’m convinced I’ll do something to help out, but I’ll definitely need to think this through more before September. Has anyone reading this done something like this before? I can clearly use all the help I can get suggestions are welcome!
btw… If you click on any of these pictures you should be lead to their original source. Enjoy!

Tuesday Tips

This week’s focus is…         MENU Oh how I love food. After you’ve come up with your theme and your décor, it seems (at least to me) for the menu to come along naturally. I do have a few rules I try stick to. When I throw a party I generally like to have something crunchy you can snack on, something healthy(ish), something you could consider to be what I call “real food” aka something you would eat as part of a main meal, at least 2 drink options, and something deliciously sweet. Although I try to have some of the food options be theme-specific, I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. People might remember if your food was theme specific, but they’re definitely going to remember if your food was delicious. Don’t feel like you can’t make some of your favorite staples for a party! Make food you would like to eat- especially if you’re hosting. You might just have leftovers. If you’re staple food is steak, or something equally expensive or equally larg...

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...

Nerd, Nerd, Nerd, Nerd is the Word

I really want to throw a nerd party! How fun would that be? If my husband was into parties I might would just throw him a nerd party for his birthday. He’s not a Screech type of nerd, but he does like to game and is into computers and gadgets. I’m definitely having trouble coming up with a catchy name for the invitations, but you know I’m ready for the food! I think I would start out with a periodic table cloth on the food table to set the stage. Much like this one from Learning beyond the books. Then I’d definitely bake a nice pi pie like this one from Bot Pie . Then I would pick and choose from some of theses ideas. Love the Jell-O Legos The Joys of Jello did! These cupcake stencils and cakelet pans from Williams Sonoma are so cool too! And who could forget drinks? Harry Potter Butterbeer anyone? As far as décor goes- I think these removable Mario wall stickers would be a nice addition, and these Star Wars (Lego) glow sticks could be fun favors. This is definitel...
