Independence Week

We celebrated Independence week by camping with my family at a local state park. We ended every night with s'mores and sparklers. I made 4th of July printables and cake balls to give the kids a party on our last night.

I downloaded these labels from Martha Stewart.com

Beau's Star Wars Celebration

I have posted the party pictures for Beau's Star Wars Birthday. I have many more elements that I wanted to add to the party, but time and rain forced me to cut my list back. However, for future posts I will make tutorials of the elements that I didn't complete for the party. Enjoy!!

Star Wars pancakes!

Baseball Cake Pops

I finally feel like I'm getting the hang of cake pops. You know the delicious bites of cake and chocolate on a lollipop stick. It takes skill to just make the plain cake pops let alone the awesomely detailed ones.
I went a little further and turned my white cake pop into a baseball using red piping gel. Then on Wilton.com I saw this trick to making grass using green chocolate and a cupcake wrapper.

Morgan's 16th Flip Flop Birthday

I had the opportunity to host my cousin's 16th birthday party. Since she and I share the love of wearing flip flops 365 days of the year even with snow on the ground - flip flops become her birthday theme. Check out Morgan's 16th Flip Flop Celebration.  http://bmoorecelebrations.blogspot.com/p/morgan-16th-flip-flop-birthday.html

Teacher's Gift

Today is the last day of kindergarten for my son and we've loved his teacher. I found this great tutorial for Crayon Monograms. It's very easy and Lisa from Well, How Nice! gives some great tips.
