One of my favorite things to do for this site is find really great, REAL parties to share with you. I love a pretty staged set, but parties don’t actually look like that. My friend from college, Mary Katherine, throws the most-extraordinary parties for her three boys and when her…
I love parties. I love books. I love babies. And I love anything old or vintage. So when I saw a perfectly adorable Little Golden Book themed birthday party on this blog, I immediately loved the idea for my son’s first birthday party. I took the ideas from that blog…
