Party Ideas :: Balloons Make Any Party That Much More Fun!
Balloons can make any type of party that much more fun and colorful! I think I love balloons as much as I love polka dots – both remind me of childhood and just bring a smile to my face. There are a ton of ideas on how to incorporate balloons into a birthday party, baby shower, or even surprise someone special with a box of balloons on their doorstep. I might be an adult now (and forever 28 years old) but I still love love balloons and would be totally thrilled to either get or give a box of balloons! At my daughter’s birthday parties they always play a part…

Inexpensive Ways to Update Yourself and Home for Spring
Spring, ahhh… a fresh start. There is a lighter mood to Spring. We trade in our heavy sweaters for a lighter jacket, our boots for perhaps a sandal. Even the smallest of change can make you feel good and it doesn’t have to break the bank. A little something to celebrate the new season. It can be as small as a new nail polish shade, a new lipstick or changes around your home.

DIY Structured Flower Garden
It’s spring. The air is fresh and warm. All is green. And you hear the call to clean up, freshen up and add some color to your outdoor living area. You bought a beautiful new garden set for entertaining… so out with the old. Hold on now! Before you toss out that perfectly good piece of furniture (yes it’s faded, tattered and worn), step back and let your imagination and creative juices flow. What can you do to repurpose the item for another use? For example, our mosaic stone patio tabletop showed its age with cracked and broken edges. My husband was eager to get rid of it because it…
