It is almost time for another college football weekend!  Amy, of Amy’s Party Ideas, designed this fabulous tailgate for her Alma Mater…Auburn University!  She’s a girl after my own heart- that’s my Alma Mater, too!

A tradition since 1896, Toomer’s Lemonade is a must when you visit Auburn.  How great that Amy added it to her tailgate party…

The fruit platter just makes me smile- so simple yet absolutely perfect!

I especially like the vintage football players that Amy was able to find and incorporate into the theme!

Amy stayed with the team colors with the blue corn tortillas and cheese dip!

A little something orange to sip…complete with orange striped straws!

Whether the Auburn Tigers are winning the National Championship or just squeaking by an unranked team in the last seconds of the game, the fans always know how to get the day started right and how to get ready to cheer on the Orange and Blue!  War Eagle, Amy!  Thanks for sharing!

Birthday Party Ideas for a Teen- How to Celebrate a TEEN

Wow! My daughter turned into a teen!  Sometimes it can be tricky to decide what to do to celebrate this milestone.  I wanted to share with you some ideas that may help if you want to mark the occasion but also keep it low-key.  At first, my daughter wanted to have a very large sleepover to celebrate.  I loved it that she wanted to include everyone she knew, but laughed at the thought of trying to corral close to 30 tweens and teens! So, I told her she could have a little, bitty, teeny sleepover and her “real” party could be bubble soccer (which she had been begging to do at this huge sleepover she was planning ).  So, realizing the play on words with a “teeny” party, we went with the TEENY theme and used as many miniature things as we could.  It was such a fun theme and the ideas could go on forever…but this is what we decided on for her teeny, little sleepover. 

LILLY PULITZER CAKE DECORATING FLAMINGO BIRTHDAY PARTY IDEAS

There is nothing like the bright colors and happy prints of Lilly Pulitzer to make every day feel like a party!  For my daughter’s 12th birthday party, she wanted to decorate cakes~ Lilly-style!  So, in order to decide how to mesh the two, I kept thinking “if Lilly had a cake shop instead of a juice stand”… I have to admit, this was one fun party to plan!  It is a blast to see where ideas go in the hands of a TWEEN!  Enjoy and remember, “…being happy never goes out of style!”.
