welcome!

i am absolutely in love with anything party planning.  i have had such an appreciation for it for as long as i can remember.  i think i truly found my passion for it when i hosted (along with my sister, melissa) several halloween parties.  we did not hold back.  and naturally, we would try and outdo ourselves each year.  although those halloween parties lie in the past, the spark for planning still continues.  i have found that after having kids, my passion has grown even stronger.  i will find any excuse to host a party...birthdays, holidays, showers, etc, etc.  i am a firm believer that there are several aspects to a successful party...but the main ones being details, creativity and ambiance.  there is something about setting the mood for the theme of the party that can make all the difference.  i know little details can seem little, even if it took forever to create...but it's these little details that make a party special.  my goal in this blog is to not only post parties i host, but those of others i may come across, or ideas i find.  i know there are so many good ideas out there, and i love that blogging has opened the flood gates for endless ideas!  it took me blog hopping on so many different party planning websites, til all hours of the night last night, to inspire me to actually create one of my own.  nothing extravagant, just something i truly enjoy doing.  i hope to one day in the future open my own business party planning, well, weddings specifically, but that will be when my kids are older.  so for now, this will do.  happy planning! :)
