In the past, I really wasn’t a do-it-yourselfer. I am really great at knowing what I want and pulling all the elements together, but I just need someone else to make it. But lately, I’ve been more and more inspired to start doing things on my own. With so much access to great tutorials and [...]
I get this question a lot. Well, maybe not a lot, but often enough that it warranted a quick post about what to do. The dilemma: “What should I let my band, or DJ, drink during my party?” In short answer – anything non-alcoholic. You must keep them hydrated so plenty of water is great, [...]
You are so organized that your party is going to run like a well-oiled machine. Everything’s in place, looking good, ready to go. But….you still have to be prepared for those pesky little things that may go wrong. Not the huge, we’ll-laugh-about-this-later type mis-steps, but the annoying little ones that are just irritating. It’s [...]
Who doesn’t love balloons? I mean, their so colourful and bouncy and fun…well, I’d have them around my house everyday if I could. So, it’s not surprising that I usually have to control myself when it comes to parties and put a reign on the number of balloons I use. I just find that while [...]
It was a short week here and I feel like it was busier than usual. I find that that always happens to me; there is a much needed, and much anticipated long weekend (yay) but, then the shortened week that follows is just rammed with stuff to get done both on the work and personal [...]
I know, you need another “list” of ideas for Father’s Day right? Well, I think these gift ideas are pretty cool. I’ve combed through many other lists and ideas and compiled this top list of my own. Guys are usually pretty easy to buy for. Most are happy with something sports related or technical in [...]
The South of France holds a very special place in my heart. After having spent a year there for school, I ached to return but hadn’t had the opportunity until a little over a year ago. It had been about 17 years; would the treasure I hold so dear be the same? Would it capture [...]
Short week, new weekend! I plan on having some tasty libations like this delicious looking martini, a twist on my favourite lemon drop (see link below for the info). There are some fun links for you to explore this weekend, so I’ll just let you get to it. Enjoy every minute. I love [...]
One element of home decor that is a necessity as well as an esthetic is window coverings. They are a necessity for privacy and sun blocking and they are an esthetic because they can complete (or provide a starting point) for every room. The windows found in today’s modern construction are big and beautiful, providing [...]
So, I post quite a few recipes because I think good food and good drinks are essential to the success of any party. Many probably believe that I just search, find and post things that I think are interesting but that I don’t actually try them myself. This totally isn’t the case. I do try [...]
