I'm A Busy Bee Over Here!

Goodness gracious! I apologize for my lack of posts lately! March and April have been busy, but fun months. I feel like I have been going and going. On top of that, today I dropped my 16 month old's morning nap...so bye bye morning computer time for me.

I have MANY real parties to share with you and lots of other party inspiration, so please stay with me. I PROMISE to keep up with my posts next week!

Why did I choose the above image for this post you might ask?? Because I am starving at the moment and cupcakes sound amazing! Plus TomKat's bee printables are too cute!

Lunch Bunch at Amanda's

My friend Amanda is one creative mommy! She has been that way as long as I have known her. So, it comes as no surprise to me that she spruces up her playgroups when she is the hostess.

The Juice Bar

The Coffee (CAFFEINE!) Bar

Amanda printed labels in a cute font for the throw away coffee cups

Amanda labeled each child's cup with "little" and then the mommies name..."little christi". Really cute idea...especially if you are just meeting new moms and their little ones!

The Breakfast Bar

Carb overload! Shh, don't tell...all of these yummy breakfast treats came from Walmart!

And of course there was an activity for the older kids.

Now on to Amanda's most recent play group! Today she set up a pizza bar with many toppings. The crust was pre-made and purchased from HEB.

Thank you Amanda for sharing these fun and affordable ideas!! You can read more about the playgroups on her blog.

Happy Easter!!!

Happy Easter to you and your families! Thank you so much for reading and for inspiring me everyday! Here is a picture of my two little men at an Easter egg hunt this morning.

Now it's time for me to start baking and getting things ready for our family meal tomorrow! What are you serving? We are going to feast on brown sugar glazed ham, corn pudding, twice baked potatoes, sauteed mushrooms and peas, sour cream rolls, coconut meringue pie and an almond cake!! Can't wait! I'm also going to bake banana bread and pecan pie muffins and serve a pear champagne cocktail.

Again, Happy Easter!

xoxo,

Christi

PS - I wish I could edit out the pink caution tape they put up for perimeters for the egg hunt! Oh well, at least it's pink for Easter and not that awful bright yellow construction tape.

Real Parties: An Easter Egg Hunt!

I'm looking forward to a fun filled Easter weekend with my family and close friends! I love this time of year! The weather has been beautiful, so hopefully it will stay that way for all of the egg hunts we are going to.

If you are in need of a few last minute ideas for your Easter party, here is an egg hunt put on by Sheek Shindigs. The snack table is dainty and pretty and I think the "fruit flowers" are precious! The kids hunted for eggs, decorated cookies, dyed eggs and played a lot!

Be sure to HOP on over to Sheek Shindigs to see more pictures from the party!

Happy Easter!!!
