Michele — Tue, 13 Oct 2015 22:02:22 +0000

My son’s birthday party theme had been in development for about a year and a half and we were finally able to see it through for Jack’s 8th birthday. (applause!) My husband convinced me to keep the food, styling and length of the party to a minimum considering how busy things have been this year…
