Hocus Pocus Party

little monsters party for my son and his. So this year, I wasn’t going to do anything. But then Hocus Pocus 2 came out and I was inspired. So I created a themed viewing party and it turned out to be one of my favorites I’ve ever done. I don’t normally do a black and…

Time Flies Party

Oliver is obsessed with any and every vehicle. Last year, we did cars and trucks. This year, I was going to move away from transportation and throw him a superhero party but he wanted planes. So planes, he got! I love getting fun, themed straws and putting them in plastic cups. In my opinion, they’re…

Hello Summer Party

In celebration of Lilly and her best friends’ last day of third grade, I threw them a Hello Summer themed party. As always, one item sparks my inspiration and I go off of that. In this case, it was these adorable jelly purses. How perfect are they for the beach or pool? Once I was…

The Greatest Showman Inspired Party

Lilly is very into gymnastics right now and since we already did a gymnastics themed party last year, we were trying to think of something different this year. A few months ago, she tied her fleece blanket to her gymnastics bar as a DIY silk apparatus and I knew we had our theme. I looked…

Little Monsters Party

We went with pastels for Lilly’s Halloween party so I planned on going a little more traditional with Oliver’s. And I did with the palette but when I saw these plates, I had my theme. And boy did I run with it! Eyeballs everywhere, which is something my friend tells her preteen son and I…

Gymnastics Party

Lilly started gymnastics at the beginning of first grade. She got in a full semester and a few weeks until the the world shut down due to Covid. And then, like many other things, it was over a year until she returned. Beyond missing friends and a fun activity, she worried she’d lose her newly…

Lemonade Party

Okay, more house. Less stand. We’ve done the traditional stand so we decided to mix it up this time. We love our outdoor playhouse that we DIY’d last fall. It started like this and we took off the upper door, painted it white and, voilĂ , the perfect canvas for any celebration. At Christmas, we tricked…

Puppy Party

My boy is dog obsessed. Everywhere we go, he spots them from afar and must go up and greet each and every one. If he hears barking within a mile radius, he runs to the window, shouting “woof woof”. They’re the books he picks to read and the coloring pages he chooses to color first.…

Dollhouse Party

When I started freelancing five years ago (after having Lilly and not wanting to go back to my full time 24/7 career), it was mostly as a TV producer for my previous show and as a writer for various publications and websites. Over the last two years, I’ve expanded my business to include brands and…

Bunny Party

Those of you that have been readers for awhile now, know that Lilly and Bunny have a love affair that began at birth. But despite all the clothing (like the romper below), accessories and additional animals, besides this little affair, we’ve never had a bunny themed birthday party until now and Lilly was adamant that…

Apple Picking Party

If you’re a loyal NNA reader, you know all about our Red Fox family by now. But, for those that don’t, in short, we did a Hamptons summer share three years ago (Is that all? Feels like we’ve known them for eternity!) when we all had one kid that was 1-year-old. We went in blind…
