Having to spend a lot of time at home these days, means that quality moments with our loved ones are more than ever, a comfort as well as a blessing! As a someone who blogs about parties and entertaining, I find that at times like these, it's even more important to find beauty, creativity and make even the smallest occasion, a special one to celebrate. So I thought I'd share some easy ideas to help you style a girls' movie night in!
Last year I styled a family table for Easter , so this year I decided to create a tablescape that was more fit for the kids. Now, more than ever, I find the need to celebrate the everyday. Finding beauty and comfort in the smallest, "mundane" things, treasuring family time and remembering that no matter how frightening things may seem, that there's always something to be grateful for and to celebrate!
As you can probably tell from my recent Easter themed posts here on the blog , I'm currently really into pastels. I know it's not a groundbreaking concept for Easter or spring, but there's just something so cheerful and comforting about pastel colors - be it in parties, food or tablescapes. Am I right? Maybe next year I'll choose a more neutral color palette or farmhouse style for my decor, but pastels it is for my mantel decor this year!
Cinco de Mayo is approaching, and we can't help but be in fiesta mode 'round here! So, to kick things off, we're sharing this super fun, colorful Llama birthday party today (Llamas may not be Mexican , but they sure love a good fiesta!) 😁 Plus, I'm super excited to share all the details of this party with you (many DIY ideas and easy decorations), because we're also debuting our NEW Llama Fiesta printable collection and invitations ! All the fun details and printables link below!
Easter is only a few weeks away, so I thought it would be the perfect time to share this pastel Easter brunch tablescape that I put together for our celebrations at home! The decor of my Easter table this year was inspired by spring and pastel colors in pink, yellow, blue and green, which also happen to match beautifully with our Easter Bunny printable decorations !
Paper anything is my jam. But paper flowers are my particular favorites! I mean, you take a fairly simple, banal, flat piece of paper and fashion it into something 3-D, beautiful and super practical. What's not to love?! And did I mention they're so easy to craft? Yep, despite their intricate looks, they're a cinch to make, and one of those DIYs that even the kids can help with!
The royal wedding is in a few days, are you excited?! I sure am, mainly because the event presents us with the perfect opportunity to host a high tea party to celebrate while watching the ceremony! I remember the first royal wedding a few years ago only too well. Not only did we shared some very British inspired party ideas to celebrate the occasion , but my scones recipe was also featured on CNN entertainment, and I'll be forever grateful to the Royal Wedding for that! 😉

Mother's day is coming up and if you need a winning idea on how to treat mom on her special day with something she reeeeally needs and will totally love, then this DIY at home spa party is sure to tick all the boxes! As a mother myself, the one thing I truly want on Mother's Day is to be pampered and get away from the daily chores. Forget jewelry or expensive gifts. All this mother wants is to chilax (husband and kids take notes!)! 😉
Despite the cold and rain some of us are having, spring is actually here. And I thought I'd share some easy-to-make flower sugar cookies for all those seasonal spring parties you may be currently planning. 'Cause let's face it, no party is complete without cookies. And no spring party is complete without flower sugar cookies! Thinks mother's day, spring brunch, bridal showers, tea parties, bee themed birthday...these cookies also make great homemade gifts for teacher's or to give out to guests as favors at your spring party!
Last year I styled a super pretty Easter tablescape complete with a DIY floral table runner . So this year I wanted to change things up a bit, and keep things a little more casual and low-key. I still wanted pretty table mind, but one that was much quicker and easier to style. You know, something that would appeal to all you busy bunnies out there?! 😉 You may have seen sneak peeks of this table over on my Instagram stories in the last few days, so here's the finished article!
I used to think that soups are reserved for winter months only. But my husband convinced me otherwise with some of his delicious spring soup flavors, like this gorgeous watercress soup that also happens to be gluten-free and vegan! Truth be told, I'm not really a soup kinda gal...but this watercress soup is so yummy (and my favorite of all!) that I had to share it here in the blog! Plus, it's green color means it would be ideal as part of a St Patrick's Day dinner party menu, or served in mini cups for a dainty appetizer this Spring or Easter!
This post is in partnership with the new Peter Rabbit movie, but all opinions are my own. Spring is 'round the corner, and if you need a cute party theme for your child's birthday, for a baby shower or Easter celebration, then this PETER RABBIT party will tick all the boxes! I was super excited to be contacted by Sony to help celebrate the release of the NEW Peter Rabbit movie coming out on February 9th, and decided to style a 'Hop Into Spring' party full of fun and whimsical details that mirror the movie! 😍
