Jawsome Shark Party
With shark week here this swimming with the sharks party was a no-brainer! Both my boys have summer birthdays and I thought what a better theme than “Shark Attack” for their pool party. My main focus is always the candy table & the color theme. For this jawsome shark party we did blue, red & white for the colors. The candy table was my favorite! We had a shark bait station with gummy worms, goldfish, and Swedish fish candy’s. The table also included candy shark necklaces, coral reef rock candy, gummy life rings and of course gummy sharks.

Celebrating Our Disney Side with Mickey Mouse!
Note: I received free products in order to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration. The opinions expressed here are my own. When I received the email that we were selected to host a Disney Side @Home Celebration Party it was like I was eight years old again! There is just something about all things Disney that brings out the big kid in me! We had originally planned to have the party mid-February but had to postpone due to that wonderful neck injury I had last month (post coming up on how I cut the healing time in half!). But we couldn’t have asked for better weather yesterday and…
