Blame It On The Toes

This post is well overdue. I say that just about every post now.  Jett's Birthday party was in February!! Life has been really crazy and I haven't been able to blog like I have wanted too. I really want to make it a weekly thing, but being a mom of little boys, wife, having a full time job and commuting to work daily... I am WOOORN out by the time I get home. I just want to get in my PJs and call it a night. Any who... For months Jett (since the day after this 3rd birthday) had been talking about wanting a SUPER HERO birthday party. Since Jett loved bounce houses so much. We  I decided to have it a local indoor bounce venue, which had tons of bouncies for the kids to get on. Of course the planner in me wanted some details along with it. I was really excited about the planning of Jett's 4th Birthday Party because #1 we didn't have the party at our house and #2 there is so much you can do with a  Super Hero party. I really thought not having the party at our house w...

Ring bowls are becoming very popular replacing the traditional ring bearer pillow. I had my two ringer bearers carry a bowl each. One bowl said "I DO" and the other "ME TOO" with our wedding date 08.08.09. I hate to say this because I love the idea of the ring bowls, but I think my ring bowls were poorly made because when I received them in the mail one was cracked on the back. I had the seller send me a new one of the one that cracked again. Then right before ceremony the other bowl cracked on the back. I was so upset. The seller might be better now on the quality, but I wouldn't use this seller again. I love love the concept of the ring bowls. Because you can actually keep and use it. Unlike the ring pillow. Really...what are you going to do with that? A little nap pillow, a foot rest, baby pillow?? No clue. Just one more thing you throw away after the wedding. At least with the bowl you can use it to put your rings on when you are not wearing them or use...

When I was addressing all of our save the dates and invitations I thought my hand was going to FALL OFF! My right hand went into a cramp soooo many times it was terrible! I needed an ice pack at the end! No wonder people hire calligraphist or do labels! For my though I didn't have the budget to hire a talented calligraphist and I didn't want to do labels because I didn't want people think our STD's and invites were junk mail (I invested months of tears and sweat designing those things I wasn't about to have someone mistake them as trash! NO SIR!). Personally I am more inclined to open mail that my address was handwritten. Today's etsy find is a custom RUBBER STAMP, which I think will be a HUGE time saver with your paper products (STD, invites, thank you cards, Christmas cards, etc.). Of course you can't stamp individuals addresses, but you can stamp your own address. That will save 1/2 of the hand pain. Plus I think they look really classy and elegant. Th...
