Onesie Banner "How To"

For the Onesie Banner I made for the Sip & See here is the tutorial I found on the cute blog
"Crap I've Made"


Here is my attempt:

I did the bow-tie ones myself...no tutorial for that one, but it is all the same.
Once you finish the Onesie, get twine and clothes pins and...TaDAA!!

Have fun and post any questions you have!

My Random Husband

I was searching through my camera's memory card and found some interesting pictures.

About 7 months ago, our washing machine started making crazy sounds...almost like it was going to launch itself into orbit.

Since Mike is such an amazing handyman
(one of the many reason why I love him so much)
he took the machine apart and tried to fix our little "astronaut" of an appliance.

While trying to fix our machine...apparently he and our friend Sean had a little fun of their own.

Yup...your eyes are not tricking you. That is my husband and it looks like he is locked inside our washing machine.

Before anyone freaks out, Mike disassembled the machine and kept the front part intact. He is just hiding behind the door.

Ever since I was a little girl...I wanted my future husband to have a sense of humor.

My wish came true...

Rach's Sip & See

One of my very good friends, Rachelle, just had her fourth child, Quinton and since I love any reason to plan a party...we had a Sip & See.

A Sip & See is a "fancy" name for a Baby Shower for a friend that has just had her second, third or fourth child.

Apparently it's taboo to throw a Baby Shower for someone who is not having their first-born.
So, change the name and....BAM, you have a Sip & See.

Our Sip & See was "Tea-Party" themed and we asked all the girls to wear cute hats and join us for brunch to Sip on refreshments and See the new baby.

The event was a hit and it was so much fun to see all our friends and get together with just the girls...and to dress-up. I never realized how many hats I had until I loaned out 5 (yes, 5)
hats to friends....plus one for myself.

Here are some pictures of the party. Take a look and let me know what you think...

The Onsie Banner - I added a little pizazz to the onsies so Quinton could
attend church in style.

The Gift Table...

The food table - I love making party food and desserts!
So, I made yummy Spinach/Artichoke Puffs; an amazing Brownie & Chocolate Trifle and these to-die-for Oreo Truffles thanks to Jana's blog!

The lovely ladies that attended to party

More of the food table spread

For party favors, I made Chocolate Facials for each of our attendees
and packaged them in Sippy Cups

More pictures

And {drum-roll please} the man of the hour, Quinton Hutchinson in
an adorable tuxedo his grandma made for him.

Overall, the event was a smashing success and I am seriously considering changing my career to Event Planning. Who wants to be my next victim...I mean, client?

If I could have my way...

I would be back in Paris right now...but this time with Mike.


The architecture, the food...the Nutella-filled crepes!!


The romantic vibe, the water-taxi...


Notre Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower...


these are a few of my favorite thing in Paris.

(sigh) ... one day I will make it back there and drag Mike with me.

But next time I will wear more comfortable shoes.

Hold your breathe Paris, we will be together again...one day
