Hurry over to BevMo today as the 5 cent sale is coming to a close Monday March 26th. Remember you may order ahead of time online and it will be ready for pick up within an hour. Which is a lot easier than bringing any child (regardless of age) with you into BevMo. The amount of glass bottles everywhere is just too much for kids to take, so this is a great option. Go to BevMo’s website here to pre-order today. Enjoy!

We love to make treats to give out in my son’s class for pretty much any holiday, and I wanted to share this super cute idea I found for Easter treats. It is a little play on s’mores, use two graham crackers, 1 tiny chocolate bar, and a marshmallow peep, wrap them up in plastic and you are done. To make it even more cute write a note from your child and include it inside. Enjoy! For another fun Easter treat idea click here.

As most of you already know I love hosting parties, I’m already planning my son’s summer birthday party! Because I only have a little boy I love to throw showers bridal or baby where I can use as much pink as I want. Like almost everyone else I try to do everything on a budget, for tips on some of the ways I was able to save see below. The pictures are from a bridal shower I hosted for one of my best friends Renee’.
I purchased the puffs from Michael’s they are from the Martha Stewart wedding collection. There are 6 in a package and it was around $20, only $10 after my 50% off Michael’s coupon. The tulle was left over from a craft I had done months before.
On the back of the chairs I used oriental lanterns tied with pink tulle, I purchased these from Party City for $6.99. The white wedding bells I purchased from the dollar store, each package had 6 inside.
The above picture is of my beautiful friend Renee’ and her beautiful mother, we had such a great time at her bridal shower. I just need to wait for another friend to get married so I can throw another bridal shower!
