Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
Birthday party #2 for August started just a few short hours {like 2!} from when the My Little Pony Sleepover ended. This one was a little easier because we were having it a local bounce house place. E is totally in love with dinosaurs so we went with a super fun dinosaur theme for his party.

Every August, our world goes from busy to full on crazy. My kids have birthdays that are two days apart which makes party planning a little challenging. I always try to have them in the same weekend because I am insane so that my parents can attend without having to travel back and forth several weekends in a row. Typically H’s party is on Saturday evening at our local pool and E’s is the following morning at home. Well, that all changed this year with our My Little Pony sleepover.

What does everyone need on Cinco de Mayo? Or even just a Friday night? A perfect margarita of course. This pomegranate margarita recipe only needs three ingredients and it tastes so good that you’ll want to just make a whole pitcher for you and your friends (or just you…I won’t tell).

Happy Friday! Not only is it Friday, but it is also one week until Valentine’s Day! Here’s a look back at the Valentine’s Day stuff I’ve shared over the past few weeks to get your all inspired and ready for the big day!

Each year, we host a Christmas party where we invite all of our friends and family over for lots of food, drinks and fun. It is one of my absolute favorite events of the entire year. Of course, a ton of planning goes into putting on the party each year. There is the menu, the invitations, purchasing the food, making the food, mixing drinks…the list goes on and on. Once the party starts, the work isn’t done though. One of the biggest things that tends to happen is we run out of toilet paper in at least one of our bathrooms. This year, though, you will find me enjoying my holiday party instead of rushing around refilling toilet paper rolls!

Halloween parties are so much fun! We host a pre-trick or treating party every year to get the kids together for dinner before heading out to get some candy. We’ve been doing it every year and I love the tradition. This year, I’m also part of a virtual Halloween party: A Ghost and Ghouls Gathering and I am sharing some kid friendly Halloween party food!

The party bus left H’s Rainbow Barbie birthday party and dropped two very tired parents and two exhausted grandparents back at Casa de Just Us Four to prep for the next party: E’s Construction birthday party.

Remember how just yesterday it was July? Yeah…me too! I feel like August is absolutely flying by! Of course, having two birthdays back to back in our house doesn’t make time slow down at all. Double birthdays means the beginning of my August is always filled with invitations, R.S.V.P.s, party decorations and of course…food. You can’t have a party without delicious food! Even though the parties are for the kids, adults get the kids there/stay for the party and so should be rewarded with a bit of grown up food too! That’s where caramelized onion dip with bacon comes in…a combination of Philadelphia cream cheese, caramelized onions and bacon makes it the ultimate parent reward for enduring a 2+ hour birthday party.

Happy August! I can’t finally breathe so I am able to say that August is indeed happy. If you are a long time reader {or know me in person}, you know that my kids decided to truly challenge their mother by being born 2 days apart. Well, technically, 2 days shy of exactly 3 years apart but you get the idea…their birthdays are thisclose together. My parents live a good drive away so we always put the birthday parties in the same weekend even though it borderline kills use each year. This year, we started the weekend off with H’s rainbow barbie party {obviously she picked the theme}!
We can’t hang stuff on the walls of the pool room so I had to improvise to be able to still use the awesome banner!
