Welcome!

I am a wife, mom and social worker who loves to live life to the fullest. I try not to take anything I have been given for granted and enjoy celebrating life's special moments. Looking back, I think it all began with Halloween. One of my favorite holidays! I remember furiously planning our family Halloween party at age ten. I then moved on to annual adult costume parties in my early twenties, and now I host over a dozen kids and their parents with  Halloween food, drinks, games, and fun!

Those parties were infectious because now I love to celebrate just about anything that comes along! Birthdays, ugly sweater parties, carnivals, back yard barbeques, and children's themed play dates are just a few of the other events I enjoy planning and hosting. Decorating the house (inside and out), cooking, and any type of creative play with my kids also makes my day!

In fact, things have gotten so "out of control" that I picked up the alias, "Mrs. Party Planner" from family and friends. The party theme, menu, decor, games, and every last detail are created and carried out by me or whichever family member or friend is "lucky enough" to be chosen. Think I'm joking? Just ask my husband who willingly gets up at 7am to clean bathrooms or cheerfully grill 15 pounds of food. Ask my mom, who has devoted many afternoons to making dozens of chocolate, gummy-worm-infested "dirt cups" or cheesy, gnarly "witches fingers"! Ask my two sisters who supply pots of chili, prizes for games, and yummy hors d'oeuvres. Ask my brother-in-law who has hauled 5ft. carnival booths back and forth. Or, my other brother-in-law and friend Elise who carefully constructed a dozen candy candles for my twins 1st Birthday cupcake display! I do love my parties, and I do take full control over them, however, none of them would have been a success if not for the presence and support of my wonderful family!

And the last thing that keeps me celebrating? My adorable three year old twin sons. They love it when their home is filled with friends, they love talking about how much fun they had when it is all over,and they love looking at the pictures we took and asking for another party.."exactly like that one"! So not to worry my little munchins, Mommy has about half a dozen parties already planned for this coming year! Stay tuned.....
