i am so excited today to share our birthday boy's superhero party invites created by my talented friend, paula of frog prince paperie. if you recall, paula was also responsible for all the party paper printables for aston's soccer birthday party last year. she did such an amazing job with them that there was no question i was returning to collaborate with her again. this time, i am so thrilled to be creatively working with such fun bold colorful party papergoods ideal for a spectacular superhero party!

party planning with a superhero
Monday, April 16, 2012
as of last saturday morning, our soon-to-be 5 year old's party theme was spiderman as approved by the birthday boy. that same morning he grabbed a random superman shirt we got him from old navy a few months ago and decided he wanted a cape to wear it with. so out we went for a lovely saturday outing with our caped superhero!
and if you have a passionate little guy whose imagination rivals any artist, you know that soon enough everything (and anything) will revolve around that of-the-moment obsession. it didnt take long for him to switch out birthday party themes on me. spiderman was a long favorite for over a year and we thought it was due time to give him a spiderman party. but just like that, superman won out!
thankfully, nothing was finalized with any of his party papergoods including the invitations. but i've got everything planned in my mind - the colors, the designs, party favors, tablecenterpieces, the cake!
now i've got to creatively somehow re-plot everything and hopefully with just slight revisions and color changes. the joys of party planning with a fickleminded 4 year old boss ~ such challenges and i'm all for it!
stay tuned for more party planning details!

must-have finds
Monday, April 9, 2012
we are back after a short break from the easter holiday and we are starting the week with some fun shopping finds!
the past few days was just kind of lazy - hanging out with family, eating out, driving around and enjoying the beautiful landscapes the spring brought these days. when we were not doing that, i found myself perusing the net or checking out favorite blogs in between. it's fun to see how everyone was celebrating the holidays and i was able to stumble upon new favorite finds i am loving and i can't wait to share with you.......
if you have a nearby drugstore by you, do check out kate moss for rimmel lip collection. you'll be hooked!
i love the 7 exclusive subtle shades - matte for day and add a dash of lipgloss for a sophisticated evening look!

i discovered this vegan-friendly nailpolish ombre 5-set and i am dead set on trying them on. if you love the trendy ombre look for your nails without too much work hunting for the perfect shades, this nailpolish set is for you!
the perfect lightweight blanket for summer. ideal for the porch, seaside, bed or out for a picnic - this also doubles as a towel and can be monogrammed!
organizing my son's endless toys and books is a never ending task and it seems that the bins and buckets we have are not enough. these collapsible containers not only serves multipurposes but are equally beautiful as well!
lastly, i am obsessing over this cool tote by anya hindmarch. the screenprinted beachside essentials as a bag design is so whimsy and cute that this bag is so perfect for a quick beach getaway!
i hope everyone had a special easter break celebration!
