Mother’s Day Brunch

May 3, 2016 by Kristin Jackson No Comments

I have paired up with Martha Stewart once again to help me celebrate with a few of my Mommy friends, so the table is set & in a few hours we will be having an early Mother’s Day Brunch while our little ladies are still at school.  I thought it would be nice to spend a few hours together, minus the kiddos, to relax & enjoy each others company.… Read More

How To // Beauty and the Beast Rose Jar

July 23, 2015 by Kristin Jackson No Comments

You can’t have a Beauty & the Beast party without the Magic Rose.  I played with a few ways on how to incorporate this element into the party & the Rose Bell Jar Takeaway gift was by far the best option.  The kids were all so excited to get to take one of these home as their Goody Bags.  Here are the materials you will need to make these & a few tips I learned along the way.… Read More

Beauty & the Beast Birthday Party

Somehow my little girl is five.  She is officially a big kid & is headed off to Kindergarten in two weeks.    We celebrated her birthday this year in grand style & were completely inspired by our recent Disney trip.  Chloe loved the experience at the Be Our Guest Castle & asked if we could have a fancy dinner for her & her friends.… Read More

NYE Champagne Cocktail Bar

December 30, 2014 by Kristin Jackson 5 Comments

2014, it’s going to be hard to say goodbye.  There was so much to be thankful for this year, but I am definitely looking forward to celebrating NYE & ringing in 2015 in style… with a yummy cocktail of course.  I decided this year to create a Champagne Cocktail Station out of our breakfast nook.  Appetizers are always moving around the house, so confining the libations to this area just seemed to make sense.… Read More

DIY Floral Party Hats

July 30, 2014 by Kristin Jackson 8 Comments

Floral Designer Lindsay Coletta came to the rescue with these beautiful party hats!  I knew what I wanted but I know very little about living flowers except for the fact that they are beautiful.  Lindsay was able to create these using Pink Wax Flowers, Ranunculus & Zinnias.  She applied a bit of hot glue to adhere the small Wax Flowers because they are so hearty & added a little Floral Glue for the Ranunculus & Zinnias.… Read More

Flower Topped Naked Cake

July 25, 2014 by Kristin Jackson 12 Comments

Introducing the easiest cake, well, ever.  The Naked Cake.  Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against frosting.  We have actually had a great relationship over the years, but this year I decided to tackle this more rustic approach for my daughter’s birthday.  
For the actual cake you simply make however many layers you’d like, I did four for her fourth birthday… and let them chill.… Read More

Marbleized Corn Hole Boards

July 24, 2014 by Kristin Jackson 6 Comments

One of Chloe’s requests for her party was a Bean Bag Toss, or Corn Hole.  Being the summer of fun outdoor games in our home, we thought adding these to our arsenal of activities would be great.  
Given that there are a thousand Corn Hole Tutorials out there, I won’t be reinventing the wheel.  We used this tutorial to build our boards.… Read More

A Garden Party

July 23, 2014 by Kristin Jackson 27 Comments

It is hard to believe our little lady turned Four this month.  Since she won’t stop growing, her requested theme of a Garden Party seemed quite fitting.  We included all of her special requests including planting flowers, making butterflies & eating big carrots.  I swear she is part bunny!  Carrots (the big pointy ones in particular) are her favorite food.  We incorporated flowers & garden elements into every detail.… Read More
