At the end of the month, my sister Emily’s second baby girl is arriving! We are so excited and decided to have a small get together to celebrate before the new baby makes her appearance. We wanted her “sprinkle” to be more about having a chance for some fun and relaxation before she has a… Continue Reading
My sister is having a baby boy in August and we hosted her shower this past weekend — it turned out beautifully! The vintage farmers market-themed party was the perfect celebration for Roberta’s little sweet pea on the way. Usually I have no trouble figuring out a theme for parties. But this time I struggled… Continue Reading
My sister is having a boy!! Last Sunday, Roberta and Bobby hosted a book-themed gender reveal brunch and finally shared the news with family and friends. I’m so excited to have my first nephew and another little boy in the family. Roberta is a school librarian and book lover (you might remember her very popular… Continue Reading
A couple weeks ago, my group of mommy friends threw a surprise sprinkle for our dear friend Mitzi. I was delighted to help make decorations for the simple and sweet celebration. Mitzi’s expecting her second son and she never had a shower during her first pregnancy – we couldn’t leave her miss out on a… Continue Reading
Another summer, another shower! Having two sisters equals a lot of parties to plan. But I love throwing parties for them – we know each other so well, it’s easy to pick a perfect theme.

Using a picture of the happy couple with the famous LOVE Park sculpture and her love of Philly as inspiration, I created the shower decorations (enthusiastically I… 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
Less than two months until my big sister’s big day! Last Sunday, me, Roberta, and my mom (Lan) hosted Emily’s wedding shower. Of course, since I was involved in the shower planning, there were no games of any kind (we all know how I feel about shower games). Emily’s wedding “theme” is a country feel… Continue Reading

I think they’re extremely awkward with the unwrapping of gifts and the silly games. And being the center of attention is the last thing I want. However, I found our baby… Continue Reading
