Etsy Kids Party!

Posted Friday, June 05, 2009

Everyone loves a party so I thought I would put together some elements from an etsy kids party!





You need some food.... guests don't like to go home hungry!








Theses scrumptious delights are from Suite 106 Cupcakery - all of their cupcakes are beautifully hand crafted, made with all natural and organic ingredients. They have over 30 tantalizing cupcake flavors to satisfy any sweet tooth craving.


Next you need some party favours...my favourite comes from modern art stamps.


At modernartstamps you will find here unique art stamps that are all handmade, 100% original and are artisan made; they design the graphics and then are made in polymer rubber and glued to hand cut wood blocks.





Of course you need a special outfit for the guest of honour!


A tutu is always a hit, from the lovely I luv u tutu much where you can find quality custom made tutus. There are an abundance of Petal Filled Tutus, Ribbon Tutu Skirts,Beautiful Dresses,All Knotted up Skirts,Short and Sweet Tutus, Long and Luscious Tutu's, Custom Ordered Tutu's you way. Tutus can be made in several sizes ranging from Infant, Toddler, Teen and adult girls.



or say it loud and proud with a mama monkey shirt





Available in boy or girl colourways!


Mama Monkey's shop is filled with fun, functional onesies and t-shirts for monkeys and their mamas! All items are designed and hand-printed in the home studio, using only quality materials.



You need decorations to get everyone in a festive mood...



There is no better way to decorate - string up a re-usable banner from the polka dot tot spot, here you will find a great range to suit any colour theme! There are also great specials that are worth dropping by for.


But really when you get all the food, clothing, decorations and party favourites together there is really only one thing that the kids look forward to and that is the presents!

My favourite pick for a present is from elcu - handmade children's backpacks from the highest quality materials and carefully crafted to last. Contact them about custom orders and private parties.



enjoy!

Motherhood is a Condition

Posted Monday, June 01, 2009


No really, there are symptoms and everything!

Condition: Motherhood

Symptoms: sore throat, watery eyes, insomnia, shortness of breath, shortness of patience, mood swings and irritability. Symptoms can be mild to moderate and sometimes severe. Studies have shown a direct correlation with the temperament of the child. Mothers of multiple children may also suffer from insanity.

Root Cause: French kissing. For some reason, pregnancy and childbirth were the end results.

Prevention: The only surefire prevention is devotion to a nunnery but this video is also very effective...


Treatment: For those who have already succumbed to The Motherhood, early and aggressive treatment is key. You may find relief using some of these: personal time-outs, chocolate, screaming into a pillow and the occasional martini. Symptoms are likely to come and go with the passing of time, but rest assured, most symptoms will clear up all together in about 18 years.
Bottoms up!

...steps to simplify (click here) ...neat ideas that reading alone take me to a less frantic place! With orders to fill and graduations to attend, weddings to occur and babies to welcome, it seems like a busy busy time for so many! It sure is nice to step back for a minute and appreciate one's surroundings. Grab a ball and bat and step outside with your little ones or take a moment to sit on the floor to play puzzles a bit - golden moments indeed that will be treasured for a lifetime to come! Happy SIMPLE Sunday all!

Lets De-Junk ~ Shall We?

Posted Saturday, May 30, 2009


Today I'm taking an excerpt from a book that I have to take in small doses (being a messie by nature) 'How To De-Junk Your Life'. The part I'm sharing today is the basic beginning to de-junking your home - This is a GREAT refresher for me - seeing that Im getting ready to tackle my house in the upcoming weeks:

When you wage your war on junk at home, it can be harder because many things in your house have sentimental value. So the first step is to decide what's really important to you. Once that's determined, take a look at what isn't being used or what could be eliminated. Attack one room at a time, set a specific time fram and be realistic about what can be done withtin that time frame.

1. Decide why you're collecting certain items and where you'll display your collection, even before you start to collect.

2. De-junk one room at a time.

3. Make a de-junking appointment and limit it to an hour or less.

4. Usage determines storage at home as well as at work.

5. Clean out storage areas periodically so you'll have more storage space.

6. Clean out your closets and make contributions to a favorite charity.

7. Decide what pieces of furniture, exercise equipment and other unused items need to go.

8. Help your children de-junk their rooms so they'll learn early about having a balance in their lives.

9. Don't forget basements, garages, sheds, patios and other areas that need to be de-junked.

10. Packrats and neatniks in the same house will need to compromise.

Today - I will be waging war on my bedroom - over the past few weeks of filling orders - I have been throwing any and everything in my room so it will be out of site.--Ok, cover me! Im goin in!!!
