Baby Showers......

As most of you may know its been a busy year for babies for me. Sydney and Jeff are welcoming baby Liam Mintle into their family in May. Monica and Jai Livingston are welcoming their little girl along with Diana Acosta who is also due in May 2010. Its a great time for me to do what I LOVE to do best; event planning, cooking, and preparing for the most important day for my friends. Here's a few photos and event planning idea's I thought was helpful...





Set the date.
Find a location.
Get the word out.
Set a theme.

Planners are the ones who all brainstorm to ensure the mommy-to-be is all set. The mom/dad prepares the nursey and gets the babies things all ready. Remember, its always good to include her, but not to stress her out. The mom will need to be informed on some things to make sure her friends and family are filled in with all the planning details. Planners decide location, cooking/preparing/buying the food, decorations, and games.



Here's a few pictures of cakes, decorations, simple planning tools to make a sucessful party.

Happy Mother's Day

I've been getting messages, emails, and texts about what to get momma bear for Mothers Day. I don't normally celebrate this day with my mom. Although, I do make sure to send a card with my best friends mom. She shines in my heart and I love her to death. She has really helped me through the past few years to be ME.... I can't thank her enough. I always make an effort to make her cry (sounds sad), but when I talk to her or see her its hard because we are just crying most of the time. I have decided to share a few our of the normal ideas with you today.... 1. I know I mentioned Mouth.com around the holidays, but they are #1 on my list this time of the year again. I will also share the promo card Mouth  2. Have you thought about making your Wife bling again. I have friends who have been married for 10years and they LOVED the idea of me telling them to get their wine a new set of.....diamonds. You keep the setting and then replace the diamond. She will be styling a

COUPONS, SHOPPING w/ COUPONS, and USING COUPONS

Happy Easter Everyone, I hope your having a great one. I'm in Vancouver, WA hanging out with family and enjoying my time away from Seattle, WA. Today I was watching EXTREME COUPON. It's amazing what these women have going on. We have women "buying" $800receipt   totals (of items they DONT need for the day/week/ever) and spending 0 - 25 bucks. I love that they have a budget and going in the store and sometimes spend nothing. I dont know what my TRUE feelings are about this show, but I will say Im addicted to coupons, saving, and making a "GOOD DEAL" happen. I love to brag about how much I spend on flights and how I look to find the deal. I have a few websites I would like to share with you. RETAILMENOT  is a great website for looking for deals, know when stores are having a sale,  and a great site to save on! It's good to know when sales start and end for the week.  It's always good to know which stores carry what. Safeway SAFEWAY JU
