Total City Girl
This past weekend we had a creative arts party for my little one’s birthday. She loves to paint and draw so that was the perfect theme. And in my book, ya gotta have a theme! Makes party planning so much easier! Party planning takes a while. Even though the final result may not look like [...]
Happy Valentine’s Day Everyone! Anything fun planned? I am quickly getting some things done for my girls while they are at school. Baking, decorating and wrapping some little V-Day gifts. Wanted to share some things I’ve been doing. I apologize in advance for the quality of my photos but they will be home soon [...]
I hear this little thing called the Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday. Woo Hoo!! Honestly, I know NOTHING about it! I’m probably the least sportsy person you’ll ever meet. Besides having no interest in football, I don’t understand it at all. It’s not just football though, it’s really any team sport. I guess [...]
Last Thursday my older one turned 8. EIGHT! I can’t believe it! There are a couple of birthday traditions we have in our home. First, the night before the birthday, I do a little decorating. I hang up a birthday banner above the living room window and hang photos from all past birthdays including [...]
The past couple of weeks have been cuh-ray-zee!! That’s why it’s been so quiet here on TCG. Sorry about that! My daughter is playing Veruca Salt in Willy Wonka at The Riverdale Y. Besides crazy rehearsal schedules, I’ve been photographing the show and coordinating a Golden Ticket event. I’ll share photos from the actual show [...]
Yesterday I told you about the cake I made for my niece’s Bat Mitzvah. Besides the cake, I was also asked to make gift tags. As a gift to the kids attending, they made up t-shirts through the Humane Society of New York. As I mentioned, she’s a TOTAL animal lover and they are a very [...]
I’m wrapping up my little one’s birthday celebration by telling you about the activities. We already spoke about the penguin cake and party favors in previous posts. Last year we had her party in our apartment - 16 kids plus parents. There was no way I wanted to do that again! Too much cleaning and way too crowded! [...]
Yesterday I told you about the penguin cake I made for my little one’s birthday this past weekend and today I wanted to talk about my second favorite part of party planning – the favors! (or goody bags) I LOVE coming up with themes for party favors and designing creative packaging to go with it. [...]
This weekend we celebrated my little one’s 5th birthday. It’s funny how birthDAYs have turned into birthWEEKENDS! Have you noticed that with your kids? It seems to always be a 3 part celebration - a party in school, a family dinner with cake, and then a party with friends. I have to tell you – [...]
I hope you’re all enjoying your holiday week. We’ve been mostly homebound due to a sick little one. Doing lots of jigsaw puzzles and watching many movies! Before this all happened, it was Christmas Eve. Wow, that seems like so long ago already! December is really busy in our home since we celebrate both Chanukah [...]
