I'm not usually a huge fan of football (soccer) but something about the World Cup that just makes me wanna watch, party and cheer. We've always held world cup match watching celebrations in our family since I was a child, so I guess it's tradition now. Especially since this year it's been held in Brazil!! Talk about fun overload, right?! :) So all this week I'll be sharing some creative party ideas inspired by the beautiful game, and its world cup host country!! So you can expect a touch of samba, a pinch of folia and lots of fun on the 'menu'! ;)
So beyond excited (and a tad relieved), to be able to share this news! Been keeping this under wraps since last summer when I got signed to write the book . The day I received the news, it didn't quite sink in. And all the months that followed. Not until I actually had the printed book in my hands earlier this month, so it's kinda cool that I waited. It feels more real now! :)

I'm a firm believer that parties and celebrations are a very important part of life. It may seem like a luxury or unnecessary to some, but celebrating the moments that matter, the milestones, the special people that surround us, is something that should not be neglected. It's not just about entertaining. It's about sharing. And giving. It's ultimately about caring! So today I am more than excited to share the wonderful work of The Confetti Foundation , and invite you to help toss the confetti!! :)

Hey sweet friends! This week we have a super lush ' baking themed ' party week for ya!

Come to think of it, these baking party ideas would also be cool for play dates, classroom activities, or a twins birthday ?!
