The weeks following Christmastime are always pretty hectic around here. Mostly due to the fact that both of my boys were born within 2 weeks of the holiday! Since I had my oldest son, the plan has always been to rotate birthdays so that we weren’t trying to have more than one big party every…

Red, White & BBQ Party (Plus Fall-Off-The-Bone Ribs)
Cigars & Cognac Birthday Celebration
Just a few weeks ago, my husband celebrated his 29th birthday! You might remember the Vino & Ale birthday bash I threw for him last year. I knew I had to do something fun this year, but with a new baby in the house I didn’t exactly have the time to put something elaborate together….
Rustic Fall Baby Shower
Recently, my friend Hannah and I had the honor of hosting a baby shower for a couple in our church small group. We wanted to have a more modern baby celebration than the “traditional” brunch type of ladies-only showers with games and little tea sandwiches. Ok…I know in reality those aren’t too prevalent anymore, but…

You all know that we’re expecting a fantastic Christmas surprise this Winter!

A Rustic Country Wedding
Some of you might recall that my family and I were out of town for a few weeks to visit family and celebrate my cousin’s wedding. It was great being back home in Florida and taking my little man to see all of the things I loved growing up! From the beginning my cousin had…

Easter is quickly approaching, so today I am wrapping up this mini-series about the surprise Vino & Ale tasting party I threw for my husband last weekend. We’ve already gone through the food and drink pairings, and now it’s time for the party decor and printables. I wanted to keep the decorations simple and understated….
Vino & Ale Tasting Party
All of the Atkinson Drive Facebook and Twitter followers have heard a little bit about this already, but I would suspect most of you haven’t heard yet. My husband is getting ready to celebrate his “Golden Birthday.” That is, he is turning 28 on the 28th. It’s kind of a big deal, so I thought…
“Hop-to-it” Easter Party
I am so sorry I missed Saturday Special this week, guys. We have been incredibly busy as a family lately. Since the husband works at a church, Easter is one of his busiest times, not to mention is a huge family and crafting holiday, which makes me a busy bee around the house, too. Basically…
Lorax Activities for Kids
As you might remember, on Tuesday I showed you the first of several posts outlining my little man’s Lorax themed 3rd birthday party. Today I wanted to share with you the activities we had at the party. There were only a few children at the party, and several were babies much too little to actually…
A Lorax Birthday Party
As most of you know, my little man turned three last week! I can’t believe how time flies! His favorite movie right now is The Lorax, so we had a big Lorax birthday celebration on Saturday. There were so many pictures and details to share with you that I’ve broken it all down into several…
