Party Time

I am co chair of my daughter's school auction on November 2, the theme of the auction is "A Night in Paris" so it couldn't be more perfect in my opinion.  Every night my mind is racing with fun ideas, party favors, and possible auction items with a Paris theme.  

This Saturday one of my besties is having a party to benefit the auction.  She is having a cocktails, dinner, and dancing all under a tent in her backyard, the deal is that instead of bringing her a hostess gift you make a monetary donation to the school and we will use the money to buy something for the auction.  The money we raise on Saturday is going towards an apartment in Paris for a week,  the hubs has been well informed of this.

I am in charge of the dessert table this Saturday, thanks to good ol Pinterest my job is considerably easier.  In honor of Paris, I am sticking to desserts that are petit and mainly pink.  

Champagne is a dessert right?

I love planning a party!!

Here Comes Peter Cottontail

It seems weird to me that Easter is on Sunday.  Our house has been random the last 2 weeks, first I was in Florida with the girls, then we were all home for 4 days, then the boys went out of town.  I really feel off schedule and out of whack, the snowstorm that came through over the weekend did not help at all.  We are all finally under the same roof and now I need to think about Easter.

I have no idea what anyone is wearing.  This is a very low key Easter this year so I think I am going to work with what everyone has instead of shopping for new outfits.  It is also going to be chilly on Sunday so I have to keep that in mind.  I think I am going to wear my new target dress...

with my black cardigan...

and my black shoes...

no longer at Kate Spade, but you can get them here.

and my necklace I picked up on Tuesday at H&M..

We are going to my parents for dinner and I am bringing a dessert.  I am thinking this is the perfect Easter dessert.

Lemon Champagne Cake...

I am not going to lie, I read the recipe and it seems like a lot of work, but anything with champagne is worth the effort!!
