One of the flagship items seen around town every St Patrick's Day seems to be green beer! While we love the idea of celebrating this fun holiday with anything and everything green, we aren't so sure about dying our beverages green. So, we came up with this fun alternative to dress up your beer, or root beer, this holiday season!



We are so excited to share this fun, FREE St Patrick's Day printable with everyone!

These "Lucky Brew" labels are perfectly sized to wrap your favorite beer (or root beer) bottles for a St Patrick's Day celebration.

Simply download the FREE printable, print on standard white paper, trim and attach using double sided tape.

Enjoy!

P.S. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for more fun St Patty's Day ideas and printables!!

One of the most commonly asked questions I see is, "How much does a typical party cost?" Well, while I would love to give a ballpark answer to moms that pose this question, the answer is "it depends!" We have helped plan children's birthday parties in all price ranges; $200-2500+.

The party budget doesn't always dictate how cute the final result is; often, with time to shop around and a little DIY, we can help create adorable parties on virtually any budget.

This sweet Paw Patrol party was for an adorable 3 year old named Griffin. Above are the ideas we came up with for a budget under $250.

The bulk of the party's budget was spent on the adorable cake from Whoo's Bakery. We splurged on a few other key design elements, including the bone pinata centerpiece, paw print latex balloons, paper vs. plastic tablecloths, and the bone crayon kits used as favors in the white gift bags. Other items shown such as the party blowers, napkins, and solid color plates were from Party City (Dollar Tree is also one of my favorite shopping starting points), and the Paw Patrol personalized toppers added to the party blowers are a FREE download from NickJr.com.  All together, this party offers personalized details, bright colors, Paw Patrol elements and was under budget!

We hope Griffin's 3rd birthday was just perfect!

I absolutely adore Valentine's Day now that I have children! I think the little sweet sayings and treats are just so cute.....so much so, that it was hard not to get carried away this year with new design concepts.

This first Valentine we are sharing this season was inspired by one of my favorite party favors....custom crayons. We hopped on over to view our friend's at Red Elm Designs creations this year to see what designs and sizes were offered, then came up with this cute tag to pair with them.

As the mother of a 3 and nearly 2 year old, I am not a huge fan of receiving lots of candy from classmates on Valentine's Day. With that in mind, we created these "You Make my Life More Colorful" tags to tie to art supplies or to attach a 1.5" crayon like shown to using double sided tape or 3D glue dots (available at local crafts stores like Michael's).

Our"You Make my Life More Colorful" Valentine's Day favor tags are available in both pink and blue and can be personalized.

For these adorable 1.5" sentiment crayons in assorted colors to add to our tags, be sure to visit our friends at Red Elm Designs.

Be sure to shop our entire collection of Valentine's Day items this season!
