Need another reason to have a party? We hosted our first-ever Mixology Party last night. So...Much...Fun! We made up our own rules, and of course, created our own logo. We had four couples, which seemed to be the perfect amount of people. The party ended with another Mixology night on the calender! Here are printable rules and certificates for Best Overall Experience and Most Innovative Cocktail if you'd like to try it for yourself!

I had a client email this morning with an article that they thought I'd enjoy. That was an understatement. Here it is... The Glue behind the Glitter. Below is my response to the article. Thank you Kelly Corrigan for a beautifully written portrayal of a magazine that should be. Here's to all the Mom's that belong on Motherhood Illustrated.

fickle pickle parties

Logo design, branding and product photography by Silverbox for the up and coming Fickle Pickle Parties. We're tickled about this new local party business and look forward to so many colorful events in the near future. We couldn't be happier for this company that's filled with so much passion. All the best sweetest Laurie! What is Fickle Pickle?

Fickle Pickle Parties is dedicated to helping you host your child's party with simplicity and charm. Party packages vary by theme, but most include linens, table setting, centerpieces, three games, music and a large prop perfect for a grand entrance and photo ops. Fickle Pickle Parties have an indulgent appearance, but are justifiably priced. They have many themes to choose from and are always looking for reasons to create new ones. They serve boys and girls from ages 3-13.

snowed in?

Do you have a few great neighbors, or are new to a neighborhood like us? Here's a little idea if you find your street snowed in. Fill a goodie bag with marshmallows, hot chocolate and some cookie dough.  We added a little note saying, “Just a little something while we're snowed in on (your street name) ”.  We took a walk up the street and placed them in mail boxes. You'll see we also included our holiday card since there were a few left over. These baggies only took minutes to create. Here's another version of a snowed-in goodie bag I created a few years ago for our old neighborhood. Who doesn't like a little gift to warm you up on a blustery day?
