Pink Party

In honor of Valentine's Day,

 I thought this was a super cute party!  All pink, but fairly easy to pull together.

Just pink flowers in jars, a pink runner, a pink cake,

 pink balloons and lanterns hanging from the ceiling, pink beads and ribbons draped on the chandelier.

super cute!

Then, just serve all your favorite pink foods - mostly cookies! And pink drinks with pink straws and pink utensils.

Love everything about this party! How cute!! Check it out at {The Pleated Poppy}.

Gingerbread Party

We all love Gingerbread!

Who wouldn't love a Gingerbread Party!!?

Super cute this time of year with all the red and white.

I love the snowflakes hanging down!

Cute little cupcakes.  What a cute way to decorate them!!  Candycanes and M&Ms.  Cute!

Super cute santa hat pops!

Love the decorated hot chocolate mugs!!  And a red plate full of white marshmallows.  So cute!

These would be fun for the kids to make at the party.  Dip marshmallows in chocolate and put sprinkles on top. mmm

Super cute cake pops - with my favorite peppermint on top!! Yum!

What an adorable way to serve fudge!!  I love this idea!

Once again, great idea to have a gingerbread party.  Make a super cute table for people to decorate their gingerbread cookies.  I love the snowflakes and all the red!!

And aren't these flocked branches so cute!!?  Love that the elf is watching the fun.

Cute idea to give everyone an apron too.  What a fun party from {Kara's Party Ideas}!

 

Merry Christmas!

Rudolf Treats

Cute gift idea from {Lisa Storms}.

Cake pops upside down with m&m nose and frosting/food coloring eyes.  But, I especially love the pipe cleaner antlers!!

 

Merry Christmas!

Bright 1st Birthday

My Son's 1st Birthday Party is going to be centered around a cake like this one from {Life With Luke}.

I love the primary colors.  I love how simple it is.  I love that bunting! 

More cute paper bunting.  Easy to make, looks great.

I also like the pictures with matching colorful mats.

Thought this was a fun idea.  What 1-year-old doesn't LOVE bubbles!  And conveniently, they come in primary colors. 

Super easy, super cute entry decoration! 

These things are easy to make - just punch out 2" circles and sew them all together to make a garland.  Much cuter than crepe streamers, in my opinion.

Throw in some balloons,

or some beach balls for the kid to play with and you're good to go!  1st Birthday's are so sweet and easy!

Patriotic Cake

Doesn't this look Delish!!  And it's so festive!  Visit {Unusual to Tasty} for the recipe.

Fairy Garden Party

Cute little party idea for this time of year.

I love the fairy references. 

Doesn't this chinese lantern look 10 times cuter with that little butterfly stuck on it!!? 

I like how they put some pom poms on the table - nice idea. 

Simplest little cupcakes, but they are SO adorable! 

Apples!  So cute!  Who knew!? 

The pokadot mushroom cake is killing me.  Adorable. 

Sweet and simple to-go bags.  I love the simplicity of this party.  It's so adorable!  Visit{Party Perfect} for more details.

Lucky Dinner

How easy is this!?  Nice idea from {The Girl Who Ate Everything} for a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day dinner.

Or here's a fun idea from {Lisa Storms}.  I love how cute she is with food!  She used a cookie cutter to cut shamrocks out of spinach tortillas.  This would make a yummy chicken taco salad.  Looks delicious.

Family Valentine Dinner

Ya know, I don't know how realistic it is to assume I'm always gonna get a date on Valentine's Day now that I have kids at home.  That's why I loved this idea from {The Creativity Room}!

A Family Valentine Dinner. 

Complete with "Love" centerpiece! :) 

She served mini heart shaped pizzas with heart shaped pepperonis on them. 

Did you know you could buy heart shaped pasta!!?  This is another idea that I thought would be fun.  Just add it to your favorite tomato soup recipe.

You could finish the night off with any heart shaped desserts - there are tons of ideas on my blog alone!  Or you could try this fun idea from {Pinch My Salt}.  Don't they look cute!!?  Great breakfast idea, too.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Christmas Sweets

Here's just a collection of yummy looking Christmas treats in pretty packaging.

LOVE the way this caramel sauce is packaged!!  Aren't those jingle bells adorable!!?  And the velvet ribbon. I love it.  What a perfect little neighbor gift.

Fell in love with these little candycane cookies, too.  They look super cute and yummy!

Love these little chocolates, and the boxes are adorable!!  Again, I love that velvet ribbon.

Peppermint Chocolate Roll

I LOVE peppermint and chocolate!!  Must try this!

My mouth started watering as soon as I read the name of this dessert.  Doesn't it sound divine!!?  And perfect for Thanksgiving!

Visit {My Blessed Life} for all the yummy details.

Kitchen Inspiration

Just another collection of beautiful kitchens.

Love that this one has two dishwashers!!  Perfect for a busy kitchen!  It's so light, bright, and airy.

This is definitely one of my most favorite kitchens of all time.  Love the copper countertops, and the wood island.  I also love those copper pots!!  And the pizza oven is awesome.  It's the perfect mix between old world/tuscan style and modern style.

I really like the green in this kitchen.  So fresh!

This one just looks homey.  I'm a big fan of islands in a different color, it adds a lot of character.  I also love the huge window in this kitchen.

This one just seems so family-oriented!  I love the huge island!!  This kitchen is just huge, and I always love a kitchen that opens up in some way to the family room.  Love the dark countertops with the white cabinets, too!

This one just seems like the perfect summer kitchen to me!  I love the huge farmhouse sink, and the pretty white cabinets and countertops just feel so cool.  But, I love how the dark wood floors ground everything.

LOVE this kitchen!!  I love that hunge island/bar.  I think it's very clever of them to use the end of the island as a bookshelf - perfect spot for all those cookbooks.  I also love the creamy color of the cabinets in this kitchen.

Another light and bright kitchen that is grounded with the dark wood flooring and dark countertops.  I love the contrast!!  Love the size of this kitchen, too!  It's huge!!

Here's a great idea - 2 sinks.  Why not!?

Thought this was a cute idea.  I like how the island is exactly opposite the rest of the kitchen.  Dark cabinets and light countertop, vs dark countertops and light cabinets everywhere else.

I love all the pretty open cabinets in this kitchen!  It only seems like it would work if you had a ton of them so you have the space to set everything up so it looks pretty. :)  Love the three cakestands sitting on the counter as well - they're a really cute and functional decoration!

I love the color of the cabinets in this kitchen!  It's a great size, with a lot of great features.  I love the pretty window cabinets next to the fridge!! 

I love the idea of using an apothecary jar to hold garlic cloves.  Cute and functional - the pefect kitchen decoration!  I also love the idea of putting vases full of flowers next to the kitchen sink.  I gotta start doing that - it makes the sink feel so much more inviting. 

This is another one of my very favorite kitchens.  I love the tuscan feel of this one with the tile backsplash and deep wood tones.  It just seems very rich and warm.
