Happy 4th of July

Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart for the comments, the emails (oh, the emails!) and the love after my last post and the events of this weekend. I am so grateful for your encouraging words, kind thoughts and promise of prayers. Monday’s post felt quite vulnerable but I was grateful at how well it was received and for all of your virtual hugs and companionship.

We are taking a break today, heading to the beach for a little relaxing in the sun. For my US friends, enjoy your beautiful 4th of July holiday!

I’m a wee bit embarrassed by the hanging stuffed animal binky, but we’re trying to slowly ween Liv off of it. All in due time.

PS you can find a compilation of all July 4th entertaining ideas collected on this blog right here if you’re in need of some last minute inspiration.

A Little Labor Day Inspiration: Party Poppers!

With a three-day weekend quickly approaching at the end of the month, I thought it would be fun to share this creative idea from guest contributor Karina over at Hostess with the Mostess.

She designed an adorable Red, White & Blue party that includes a fun treat for kids or adults: party poppers!

They make great favors, name cards (across a dinner plate) or prizes. A quick Google search revealed a super easy party popper tutorial, materials include: goodies for inside the popper (candy, little toys, a handmade fortune), toilet paper/paper towel roll, cracker snaps (from a local packaging store or online at packaging/party supply site), tissue paper, ribbon, cardstock, tape or glue. Read all about assembly here.
