After this past weekend, Party season is officially on hiatus. That's not to say I wont have things here and there, but the bulk of everything will be dying down until the fall. While I love getting to help with parties, I am thankful for a break :) Since March, I have been a part of 5 birthday parties and 2 graduation parties, one that hasn't even happened yet. It has been fun but busy! This week I am looking forward to getting back to some normalcy.

Weekly Menu, 24.

I have good intentions on following my weekly menu's, I really do. But let's be real..they rarely turn out 5/5. It's inevitable and definitely okay, that plans change. I find a new recipe to try, I end up going shopping or to dinner with a friend, last minute event/activity for one of the kids, so things get shuffled around. I don't always stick to my plan, but it's nice to know that I have one to fall back on :) Here's my attempt at a Menu for this week.

Monday:
Grilled Cheese
Macaroni & Cheese
Banana, Strawberry skewers
(Softball game)

Tuesday:
BBQ Brats & hot dogs
Macaroni Salad
Corn on the cob

Wednesday:
Meatloaf
Oven fried zucchini chips

Thursday:
Baked Chicken
Rice
Broccoli
(T-ball game)

Friday:
Taco Cups
Mexican Rice

A Rainbow Party.







































My niece Ava, turned 2 on April 21st. Since I have a Sister who knows how much I love parties, she sort of lets me create the vision's that I have. Since Ava obviously wouldn't know what kind of party she would want, I got to do the Rainbow Party theme that I have seen created all over the blogosphere. There are so many cute ideas out there and who doesn't love the Rainbow colors??

I was obsessed with making a Rainbow cake. I have seen them everywhere and I thought it looked so fun and super cute to make. There were no disasters and everyone was so surprised when the cake was cut to reveal all those pretty colors.

We made fruit loop Rainbow necklaces, Ava played on her new slide and the bigger kids just wanted to play outside, go figure :) I think Ava's party was a success and I can't wait until the next party to help with!

Never Grow Up ♥

Your little hands wrapped around my finger
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
Your little eyelids flutter 'cause you're dreaming
So I tuck you in, turn on your favorite night light

To you, everything's funny
You got nothing to regret
I'd give all I have, honey
If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
Just stay this little
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up, don't you ever grow up
It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you
Won't let no one break your heart
No, no one will desert you
Just try to never grow up, never grow up



This song by Taylor Swift,
reminds me of all
the children in my life.
I wish they could all just stay
little for ever.

Tomorrow my niece turns 2
and I can't help but wonder,
where did the time go?
