Heart Milk Cubes
I adore this simply darling idea from Victoria of A Subtle Revelry... color & freeze milk ice cubes in a heart shaped tray. Kinda genius right?
And the best part? It slowly turns your milk pink...how lovely.

Love Everything You Dew
Another little surprise (#3) left for my sweetie-this time with his favorite soda, Mountain Dew. I left it in the refrigerator this morning with a little note that reads "I love everything you DEW". I know it is super cheesy but he loves it!

Hot Stuff
Have I ever mentioned how much my hubby LIKES hot sauce, I mean LOVES hot sauce? The man puts it on everything from breakfast to dinner. So for Valentine's, I came up with a little something different this year...
I like to leave little surprises for my hubby for Valentines hidden around his office, car & our house for him to find. I have several other little gifts planned of some of his favorites. What are you making for your Valentine?

Thank you notes
I am still a firm believer of a hand written thank you note. For each birthday party, I like to take a picture of all the kids and use it to send out thank you cards. It also makes a nice keepsake for all the kids! How about you? Do you like to send out thank you notes after your kids parties?

Mario Birthday Bash
The boys had a great time at our Mario Birthday Brawl party for Evan's 10th birthday yesterday! I had SO much fun putting together their Super Mario Sweets table!
The boys loved the cupcakes I made with Super Mario characters
and cute candy stars.
For the cupcake & candy stands, I simply wrapped boxes in brick paper to look like the bricks from the Mario games.
I made the marshmallow 1UP mushrooms pops & krispie pop stars & displayed them in cardboard tubes that I painted green to look like the pipes from the Mario games.
I made the cotton ball clouds to the sky backdrop (thanks to Dawn from Not Just a Mommmy) which was the perfect finishing touch!
Of course, what is a party without favor bags?
Filled with Mario treats of course!
The boys also got their own "I'm The Bomb!" shirts
which helped them gear up to get their GAME ON
in the AWESOME Gamez on Wheelz 3D Video Game Truck!
The boys had a great time playing all their fun video games!
We even created a Players Lounge in the boys hideout under the stairs
where the boys could "chill-lax" and play Mario on their Nintendo DS.
It was another great birthday & Evan and his buddies are already planning next year's bash!

Bomb Shirt Tags
Sorry for the lack of posts this past week-work has been CRAZY busy (in a good way) but it hasn't left me much time for blogging. I made these simple tags for the boys t-shirts & I am putting them together tonight.

Birthday Mario Shirts
I like to make birthday party shirts for all the boys friends for their parties but this year Evan found this shirt at Target. For those of you don't know, Bob-omb is a character from Super Mario (which is perfect for his Mario party theme). How cute will all the boys be in their "I'm The Bomb!" shirts!
