This year I chose not to design my own gift tags…not like me I know. So the search began and I was surprised how many FREE cute ones are out there. Yeah I had to dig a little into blog archives, but there they were just waiting for someone to download them. I tried to {Read More…}

Wrap it up!

I LOVE giving pretty packages and honestly who doesn’t love getting something pretty.  I feel that pretty packaging makes all the difference when giving a gift.

Stage Shows

Yo Gabba Gabba

WHEW! What a crazy fun-filled weekend! If you are a parent, I bet that you have been to your fair share of “stage shows” with the kids. We have seen the Elmo shows, Disney Live, Disney on Ice, Laurie Berkner (fantastic) and now Yo Gabba Gabba…it sounds exhausting just typing them! Yo Gabba Gabba is {Read More…}
