Let's Party!

So, after I redesigned my blog, I turned my attention to the pages tabs I have up there at the top. I cleaned up the Book Reviews page and added some reviews that I'd done recently. I also started having waaaayy too much fun on Picmonkey and cleaned up the Party Page. It was previously just a plain boring list of our party themes. Now it's filled with pretty pictures like these…

      

Each one can be clicked. And after this weekend, I'll have two more to add to them!

Now, I know that our parties are not what most people are interested in for their family so basically, it's a pretty page where my kids can find their birthday posts from years ago when they are feeling nostalgic. But a new friend of mine was recently shocked that I made that pirate ship cake myself and that made me realize that maybe some of you haven't been reading here for very long and you might like to poke around and share in some of our silliness or get an idea or two for a party of your own. My caveat is this…

Please don't say that I am some kind of "super mom". That's really not a compliment if you think about it. Every mom who loves her kids is a super mom. I enjoy decorating cakes and God gave me a talent for it. I enjoy planning a party and I enjoy doing crafts and all of these things for my kids on their birthdays even if it's just for us. But I don't think it's the way everyone should have a birthday party. A simple day filled with joy and mirth can be just as celebratory!
