Back To School

Today, my sweet Friend Hosted a Back to School Brunch for us Mama's... I've been attending this FUN event for the last 10 years. Oh my word... where has time gone? I can't believe Ellie is in her Junior year in Highschool and Evan is a Sophomore. Seriously, I feel like my kids are still in First and Second Grade. I have enjoyed each and every year that they have grown. It seems as parents the older we get the less we see our friends. So when we have an event like this, all us Moms get caught up on everyones summers events and details about other siblings leaving for college. I had such a nice time. Thanks for keeping the tradition alive. I hope everyones kids are settling into their school routines. "Stay strong and carry on!" Thanks for reading... 

Grad Party Ideas

Some of you my already be on Summer vacation... Ellie and Evan's Highschool is out next week! They are over the moon excited for Summer. With that being said, we have a ton of friends Grad Parties to attend. Our Seniors graduate tomorrow night. (Yeah!) So, over the next month the weekends are consumed with FUN events and parties. I found these adorable Grad Party Ideas and I thought they were too FUN I wanted to share them with you. The first one is having your guests sign Jenga pieces. Jenga is a block building game where you stack the pieces in a sequence without having them fall over. It's super fun and especially when you can read sweet quotes or sayings from loved ones. Next, is jar of your college bound M&M's. I think this would be super cute on the buffet table. Another idea, is this cute photo wreath on the front door. This could be the Grads highlights of Highschool or childhood favorite memories. Next, is a memory jar- this could be where friends and family leave special thoughts or words of wisdom for the Grad. Lastly, Smartie candies with this fun sign that says "smartie pants". This candies could also be in a jar or hurricane like the M&M's. Any of these ideas would also make a nice hostess gift for the Grads Party. Have fun and enjoy your last few days of school before Summer starts. Happy June!
