I always like to add extra details to invitations. One of my favorite things for an invitation is a cute envelope liner. The inside of the envelope is really the first thing people see when they open an invitation, so why not make it look special? The first time I decided to use envelope liners,… Continue Reading
Happy Anniversary to my big sis and brother-in-law, Emily and Sean! It’s taken me one year, but I’m finally getting around to sharing their big day with you. Emily picked a lovely wedding color palette – yellows and greys. She also had a subtle love bird theme, which blended well with her outdoor garden reception.… Continue Reading
My little sis is married! On July 26th, Roberta and Bobby tied the knot by the sea in Cape May, New Jersey. The wedding was simply beautiful, exactly what I expected from my perfectionist sibling. The wedding had a nautical and beach theme. The setting at the Chalfonte Hotel in the historic heart of Cape… Continue Reading
Confession: I’ve been thinking about Owen’s first birthday party since the early stages of my pregnancy. Owen was just pea-sized as I began to contemplate party themes. The possibilities for his first birthday celebration were endless!! Which theme would be the best choice?? Such a difficult decision. But after getting to know Owen, the answer was… Continue Reading
Another one for the “books”! We threw a perfect shower for Roberta, my second and last sister to get married. My younger sis is a true bibliophile (i.e. lover of books). She’s an English teacher studying to become a librarian. So this bride-to-be clearly needed a book-themed shower. And since I love books almost as… Continue Reading
I think it’s pretty obvious that I love ice cream (see my blog name). Lucky for me, I married a man who also loves ice cream. So it was an easy decision to make an ice cream cake for Richard’s birthday this year. Hot weather, cold ice cream, and a birthday – it’s a no-brainer,… Continue Reading
On Sunday, Richard and I will venture out for our first true date since the arrival of our little man. Life has been so busy, we haven’t had a chance to go out sooner. Heck, I barely have time to make a good meal at home. Or write postings for this blog. Anyhoo, this recipe… Continue Reading
Happy New Year! I hope the past year has been as wonderful for you as it has been for us. Thank YOU for reading my blog in 2012…I’ll try my best to make it even better for 2013! Continue Reading
It’s that time of year again. Time for the cookie list. I’m a bit behind this year. Usually I prepare the cookie list the week after Thanksgiving. But Owen has been monopolizing my time (also why I haven’t posted in a while – sorry!). I don’t even have our tree decorated yet. It’s just standing… Continue Reading
Is it really already November?? I hope everyone had a fun Halloween and a delicious National Candy Corn Day. I’m sad that Halloween is over. I LOVE Halloween, so I feel like a kid the day after Christmas, feeling the letdown following all the preparation and excitement. Or maybe it’s just me coming down from… Continue Reading
