Thank you Mardi Gras Napkins for sponsoring this post. Learn more about Mardi Gras Conversation Starter Napkins here and grab your coupon today! Fall is one of my favorite seasons. Mainly because of all the the wonderful produce in season this time of year, and the tasty treats we bake (and eat) with them, of course! 😉 Our apple trees were covered in fruit these past few weeks, and it has been a real treat, I tell ya! We've had apple pies, apple crumbles, apple compotes and even apple chips baked in the oven and covered in cinnamon. YUM! But one of my fav ways to use up all them apples, is with a Caramel Apple Station ! 

There are tons of Halloween party ideas involving candy, and party ideas for kids over on Pinterest . Fact.  We also love sharing loads of kid-friendly ideas here on the blog. Guilty as charged. So this year, I decided to style a little Creepy n' Chic Halloween cocktail bar to give you some ideas on DIY decorations and recipes for an adult-themed spooky soiree. Gruesome! 💀

Hey party lovers, I'm so exited to announce that  Bird's Party Magazine's issue 19 , our Fall Edition 2017, is finally out for your viewing  and festive pleasure!! 😊 Our Fall Party Issue is bursting at the seams with incredible party eye candy, seasonal recipes, festive crafts, DIY decorations and all you need to style this Halloween parties, Thanksgiving and fall birthdays!

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Pillsbury™. The opinions and text are all mine. Fall is here. And we all know fall is synonymous with wonderful produce, like pumpkins.  And in turn, you can't bake anything with pumpkins without pumpkin spice, right?!  From cakes to lattes, to puddings and cupcakes (my favs!), this seasonal spice mix is everywhere!

If you're in the events planning business or a party blogger like myself, you'll most certainly have a 'little black book' of precious vendors and party contacts.  But if you're not in the “biz”. What then? How do you find reliable, efficient and amazing vendors, services and independent businesses to help you with your party planning or event?

Can you believe Halloween is 'round the corner?! Me neither! So I thought I'd better get my skates on and start sharing some spooky inspired posts asap. And today's easy crafty ideas are so quick and fun to make, even the kiddos can help - you'll get a good 30 minutes of peace (tried and tested), and that's always a great incentive to get kids crafting if nothing else! 😋

This post is sponsored by the KEEP Collective but all opinions are my own. The magic surrounding the Mickey & Minnie Disney characters is undeniable. As a  birthday theme it remains as popular today as it did back when I was a little girl, when I begged my mom to have a Mickey theme for my 9th birthday. This was the beginning of my love affair with all things Disney! Now that I'm all grown up and have a little girl of my own, I still find myself drawn to this charming party theme. And as party blogger, I witness first hand how much the characters are loved by kids and parents alike.

If you've been following the blog for a while, you'll know how much I love to craft and DIY. Be it for party decorations, home decor accessories or tasty party treats. The homemade or crafter's way rules! So over the years I've amassed a pretty impressive collection of craft supplies, or as my husband calls it, a huge hoard/pile/mountain to rival Martha herself! 😋

You know how much I love unicorns (who doesn't?!), and today's super adorable DIY craft is ticking all the boxes. I mean, just look at the gold and rainbow mane!! 😍 This adorable and easy to make unicorn topper can be used to decorate cupcakes or straws, but we're also digging it as pencil holders for your back to school supplies! Check out the easy craft steps below.

Summer is coming to an end, boo! And as much as I've been trying to resist the transition into Fall, school for my kiddos starts next week, so there's no denying it any longer. Double boo! But to lessen the blow, and make sure we still make the most of the hot days - yes, it's still 40 deg C in the shade 'round these parts; we celebrated last weekend with an end of summer patio party !  It's our way to enjoy the fine produce on offer at the end of season, and relax before the school routine finally kicks in.

Thank you Breton for sponsoring this post. Make everyday entertaining better with Breton!

It was national watermelon day on August 03rd (yeah, did you miss that too?!), but  it's a party theme that will help us linger a little longer in the sun and reminds us that summer is not quite over yet! 😉
