The Loud Library – 8th Birthday Party

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…

Michele — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 04:16:16 +0000

Starting off the week with another ‘throwback’ that I wanted to post about but never did. It’s not often I get to be a part of the same action as my designs but this particular weekend, 2 years ago, I could enjoy it first hand. The story begins with the beautiful surprise engagement of Matt…

I had a lot of fun working through the party details and wanted to share! Every year we choose Jack’s birthday theme based on his primary interest throughout that year. 2014 was…

Ciao Bambino Baby Shower

Michele — Wed, 20 Nov 2013 21:21:00 +0000

The Big Adventures of my Birthday Boy!

Michele — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 15:53:00 +0000

(Warning: I’m not taking my own advice and keeping the info short. I always like to know how a party played out so I’m sharing it with you as well. Enjoy!) My son’s favorite thing, it seems, is to re-enact every story he watches or reads. At the end of each he always says “can we…

Michele — Tue, 22 May 2012 15:32:00 +0000

My sister-in-law Gabriella is turning 30 and you know that a milestone like that requires some special attention.
