Teacher Appreciation Gift.

My son's school did a theme each day of the week for Teacher Appreciation... (flower day, note day, treat day, etc.) I spaced it and remembered last night that we hadn't done anything yet! ACK! So, to Pinterest I went and found this cute pin. Lucky me it came with a printable tag that says "ORANGE you glad it's almost summer?"
I thought it was perfect. (And being OCD about gifts matching, this made me very happy.)
Here's what's inside:
Peach Nectarine Sparkling Ice drink - these are so yummy
Lindt Intense Orange dark chocolate bar - one of my faves
Dreamsicle candle from Walmart
Country Chic lotion from Bath & Body Works
Sweet Tangerines hand sanitizer from Bath & Body Works
Orange Tic Tacs
and Tropical Trident gum
Lots of orange-y goodness. Makes my mouth water.
The silver bin I found at Walmart in the aisle with the vases and silk flowers. And the cute chevron orange ribbon is from Hobby Lobby.
Cohen's teacher grew up in Hawaii, and her whole classroom is done in a beach theme. I had a bunch of leftover Jolee's Boutique stickers (from my pre kid glory days of scrapbooking) that we put to good use.
 I don't think there is anything sweeter than a handwritten card and picture from a child. They are so sincere and sweet. I hope Cohen's teacher loves her card like I do.
 Isn't the lei the perfect touch?
 For Ren's card, I wrote what he wanted me to say and he signed it and drew a picture.
 I love that he drew his teacher riding a sailboat. She grew up in California and loves to sail. Her hair blowing in the wind is awesome, too.
 We are so grateful for loving, kind, and patient teachers!
Happy Teacher Apprecation!!

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of ...

Father's Day Gift Ideas.

Father's Day is coming up!  We love our Jason, and we like to surprise him with special gifts.  I wanted to share a few things my kids and I have loved doing for Jason. These Pinhole Press board books are so adorable and easy to do. The kids love looking at them, and Jase cried when he first saw them. They made his day! Making a slideshow for your special guy is also a great idea! We made one for Jason a few years ago, and it was so special and fun. There are many different sites you can use to do that. One that I've used recently is Smile box . It does cost money to use, so be aware of that. You can also use free sites or simply make one using google slides or iMovie. Etsy has some great gifts for Dads.  Look at this awesome tee set for a Dad and child. So cute! I love this modern watch/jewelry stand . So manly and clean looking. This docking station is equally awesome. For the Dad who enjoys cooking, you could get him one of these personalized cutting boards . Love ...
