Pretty Pink Birthday

June 2013 018It was birthday time again at our house!  The years are just going so fast.  Of course pink was the color of choice and I don’t like buying a bunch of party stuff – it just gets thrown away.  So what I did is rummage through the girls bedrooms.  Read More



Party Favors – Sugar Hand Scrub

June 2013 020I have to admit I got this idea from a gift I received from my daughters teacher – for volunteering.  What a great gift!  I wanted to ask her how she made it – but I was embarrassed.  First of all it’s cute and second its pink!  So to find out how she made it I did a search on my own.  Not only did I find an awesome recipe I found a great website.  Read More
