I am currently thoroughly enjoying a family reunion in sunny CA and can’t pry myself away from the dance parties, beach trips, and game-playing to spend much time on my computer. So today I’ve enlisted the help of my friend Danelle Beckstrand from The Red Front Door blog today. We all know I love throwing parties, especially…
As mentioned in this post about how I threw a bird-themed baby shower for just $25, one of the hits of the party were my (ridiculously easy and delicious) 10-minute mini quiches! Today I thought it was time to share my secret and share this mini quiche recipe that is PERFECT for parties, brunch, breakfast, showers,…
I am blogging on behalf of Walmart.com and received compensation for my time, but the views expressed here are solely mine, not Walmart’s. Remember my college bestie/soul sister Bree (and her bridal shower I threw her for $12 HERE)? Well…Breezy’s havin’ a baby! I couldn’t be more excited! Our friend Nikki and I insisted on throwing…
I promised you weeks ago in my mega entertaining post that I would post about Hutch’s 4th bday party. Sorry I made you wait so long but trust me, it will be worth! Why? Let me count the ways… This party was the mecca of all kids parties. It was cheap, it was easy, it…

Photo source If you know me, you know I LOVE to entertain. But not your Martha Stewart “entertain”. I don’t really believe in the cutesy, food label-y, nametag-y, fancy-schmancy stuff. It doesn’t feel authentic to me, and really, the reason you fancy stuff up is to impress your guests. While there is a time and…
I love parties. Showers. Gatherings. Fiestas. Luaus. Mingles. You name it, I’m there…and what’s more, I’m usually the one throwing it. I am living, breathing proof that you CAN throw an incredible party that is elegant, easy, cute, quick, affordable (free, even), and most importantly, memorably FUN! The bridal shower ideas I’m about to show resulted…
As I mentioned in this post waaaaaaaaaaaay back in the stone age, as well as THIS TV segment (that I totally forgot to do a blog post about! Whoops!), you can buy Jimmy Johns “baked fresh yesterday” bread for just $0.50 per loaf! The loaves are huge, and delicious as ever even though they are…
My son turned 3 on January 26th. I wanted to throw him a party, but it was a crazy week leading up to his birthday (I had Frugality Boot Camp 2013, lots of family in town, a family funeral, oh yeah, and I kept going into early labor)… …so I needed it to be SIMPLE but…
