For you video fans, check out this very sweet and moving short film, documenting Piper's first birthday (thanks to mom, Amanda, for passing along!). It seems a great way to mark this first birthday milestone. The film highlights special snapshots and moments of the day, set to music that rides on the emotions of the occasion.

It's that time of year when I start craving anything icy and yummy. I had my first cherry slurpee of the season yesterday and ooooh...it was so good.

I love weekends when things actually get done! They are few and far between these days, it seems- since adding a little one to the house.

I love this idea from Martha Stewart. They suggest using a paper-wrapped aluminum foil box for display (so clever!)...for the full run-down, check it out here.

In the South (and probably elsewhere), when someone is sick, has lost someone, had a baby or any other number of 'occasions', a long line of friends show up with food at the front door. Often times the 'afflicted' person can be deluged with tons of food at the same time, or worse, go for long periods of time without having anyone bring anything.

You are my fave author, Melanie, mailed this 'party' pinĂ¥ta (sans box!) to her nieces and nephews. It's an awesome idea, however, I've got so many questions. Did she just pop this in the mailbox? Or did her post office really let her mail the hat? If so, how did they affix postage? Isn't silly string considered an explosive of some kind since it is combustible? I can't imagine the guys at my P.O. allowing me to send this in the mail, but now I feel I should at least try.

I'm in love with every single detail of this absolutely perfect shower. I plan on copying each idea in some way in the future! The flags in the rice krispies? Love it. The onesie cookie favors with personalized packaging? Can't get enough of it. The color palette? So sophisticated, yet baby appropriate.

Magchunk recently had a 'birthday week' with lots of fun posts. I was honored to be interviewed as part of her celebration week (along with other blogger fave, Chelsea of Frolic). For all of Maggie's fun finds and interviews, check out her blog!
Oh- where were you, cute stamps, when I was recently sending out baby shower invitations? Or thank you notes? Or mother's day cards? Alas, I now have you in my possession...

I have to admit the circus gives me the creeps a bit. But I really love all the vintage-inspired circus parties that keep popping up (fun typography, great colors, etcetera), that seem to have a 'carnival' feel. I couldn't resist this cute one, particularly with an awesome last name to boot. More here.
