As a kid Easter was always one of my favorite holidays! (Actually, as a grown up it still is!) I loved that I got a cute new Easter dress every year, I loved waking up to a basket stuffed full of goodies, but mostly I loved decorating eggs. My mom and my aunts would often get us together with our cousins to spend an afternoon coloring eggs a few days before Easter so they could be whisked off and hidden in the middle of the night by the Easter Bunny. Over this past weekend, Em and I did the same, inviting her cousins over for a fun-filled day of Easter glee! Now that she’s a little older, it’s so much fun to begin passing down these traditions. (I should note that she’s not actually in a single one of these photos though because she wasn’t having it. Two years old with a mind of her own!) Today I’m teaming up with Walmart to share all the details of our little egg decorating party with you! From the snacks to the decor to all the Easter goodies you see here, including all the kids’ cute outfits, you can snag everything at Walmart in one quick shopping trip and throw together your very own party. Let’s hop to it!

All the way from Spain, today’s birthday party is the superhero-themed follow-up to Nicolas’s cowboy birthday party from last year. Nicolas’s mom, Maria, has a serious talent for planning kids parties, which she showcases through her venture Pistacho Fiestas.

We’re going pink this morning! Super happy, bright and cheerful pink. Last week I had the chance to collaborate on this incredibly fun photo shoot with the talented ladies of Alice G.

I always love getting to feature a brilliantly fun birthday celebration, but when the fabulous Juli of The Garter Girl and United With Love sent over her daughter Amory’s fourth birthday party I literally clapped. First of all, Juli is one of the loveliest women I have ever met. Period. And secondly, she makes insanely …

I love this fun idea from Amanda of Bake It Pretty – cupcake fondue! Really, what could be better than dipping mini cupcakes in frosting and topping them with a rainbow of sprinkles and pretty sugars? I am thinking about nothing. This would be a fun idea for a kids party or for a party …

I’m throwing a baby shower this weekend and in lieu of cake I’ve decided to throw together a quick make your own sundae station. I can’t think of anything more perfect for the hot, humid summer days we’re living right now. Ice cream also happens to be my favorite food (ever) so needless to say …
