The Heat is On

Well, our family pictures haven't come in yet so we had to make do with my at-home studio. It was good anyways, as I wanted to make sure the setup looked cute for my two Christmas baby sessions in early December. We didn't pick these pictures, so don't worry it will still be a surprise!

Anias: Week 9

I like to suck on my thumb, but only my left thumb and I get really mad if mom interrupts me. I love looking at fans and smiling at them and my eyes are definitely a dark blue. Mom is rushing to get pictures of me in all the cute 3 month clothes Mimi made before she can't button them anymore! This one is named in my honor. It's called the Aniasaurus.

Anias: Week 10


The biggest news is that I rolled over for the first time today! Mom was reading Eli a book while we laid next to each other. I first rolled to my side so I could hug him, then I just kept on going to my belly! I had my first fever ever, but it was thankfully a really short one and didn't seem to bother me much. I'm into 6 month clothes now.

Eli:

Mom had to tell me "don't vacuum your brother" this week when I got a little carried away at the car wash. I help burp Anias and will tell him "it's ok baby, we're almost there" when we're in the car. Mom asked me this week what makes me happy and I said Anias. Her heart melted!

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.

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...
