Heather — Tue, 21 May 2013 23:08:09 +0000

When it comes to party planning, we all have our favorite go-tos whether it’s a caterer, a clown or a bakery.

That’s where I purchased the party favors for Ryan’s [...]

Connect Your Home: Your Source for TV, Cable and Telephone Service Providers

We’ve moved a few times and one of the parts I dread most is the disconnecting and reconnecting of home services. It was time consuming, involved hours communicating on the phone, via email, talking with neighbors and searching the internet for deals and providers to connect our cable tv, internet and home phone. It sure [...]

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Parent’s Choice Overnight Baby Diapers. As much as I’d rather not admit this, our one year old is still not sleeping in his crib. The very clingy mister man sleeps between us in our King size, ever since he outgrew the bassinet. Nighttime protection [...]

You may or may not have heard that google reader will be no more come July 1st. I’m not happy about that. I’ve used google reader to bookmark and read blogs for years. But now Google is trying to get everybody on board with Google Plus. I like Google Plus for social media and all, [...]

Paper Culture Thank You Cards

Heather — Thu, 16 May 2013 18:12:43 +0000

I wasn’t quite sure what I was going to do about Ryan’s thank you cards for his first birthday party. Since I designed and printed the very on-theme invitations myself, I did want to customize my Paper Culture thank you cards by incorporating the Very Hungry Caterpillar somehow. I’d decided to wait until the big [...]

Party Fun, Piñata Style!

Heather — Wed, 08 May 2013 20:52:50 +0000

Like I said before, I really didn’t plan many activities for Ryan’s Very Hungry Caterpillar Party. We didn’t need to; the bounce house and swings were enough to keep the kids happy, and I liked it that way. The only structured activity we supplied for them was a piñata just before cutting the cake. There [...]
