Use this welcome sign on the front door of the party, or set it out at the party. After the party, laminate the sign to hang in your child’s room for a fun keepsake.

Using a little bit of ribbon, hang this sign to let guests know what they are celebrating.

The tablecloth was fabric purchased at a local craft store, wrapping paper found at Target was used as placemats, the flowers were from Pier 1, and all of the printables are available on etsy.

I have been living in California for the past 2 months working with ‘Not For Sale.’ So far the experience has been incredible and I am excited to be apart of such an amazing organization. They truly believe that slavery can be ended in our lifetime, and I look forward to the day when it is. A few weeks ago ‘Not For Sale’ celebrated their 5th birthday, and I was asked to throw a small party for all the staff. Here are some pics from the party!

The first idea comes from Bakerella and is one of the cutest things we’ve ever seen.  Using powder sugar covered donut holes and a few other supplies these “milk men” can be be easily made and not to mention delicious! For the full instructions click here.

Our second idea comes from Food Chics and it’s for a snowflake sandwich anyone would be sure to enjoy.  Kids would have a lot of fun making up a plate of these sweet sandwiches.   For the recipe click here.

Tomorrow will be all about snow games (indoor and outdoor).

Turn a snow day into a party with our FREE downloadable invitation.  Hosting a snow day party is a great way fill some of those winter days where you just start to feel stir crazy and can’t wait for spring. To download the invitation please click here.

You can even use these invitations on an actual snow day by printing them out and hand delivering them to any friends and neighbors nearby that will be able to make it over to your home for some fun.  It would be like a block party, but in winter!

Tomorrow we’ll be sharing some food ideas for a perfect snow themed party.

This week we’ll be sharing some ideas for ways to spend any snow days the children in your life might have this winter.  As nannies snow days for us were both a blessing and a curse.  Hopefully some of our ideas will help keep any snows you face this winter full of fun.
