What a fun and inexpensive way to jazz up some balloons - just add some kraft paper to the bottom, tie with some string, and voila! Ice Cream Cone balloons! I'm going to try this for an upcoming friends birthday!

Of course Sophie texts.........doesn't your dog?

My stomach hurts from laughing so hard at this Tumblr. I can't stop scrolling! If you're a dog owner, you will waste the rest of your day here. Trust me.

Glowing Easter!

So, I take my Aunt Val role pretty seriously. Over the past 5 years, I've spent countless hours looking and preparing for fun, unique, cool ideas to do with Josh and Megan. Superhero capes, gingerbread houses, pirate theme parties, dressing up as the Easter Bunny, etc. Luckily for me I don't get embarassed that easily, so I'm willing to do basically anything to make them laugh or ensure they have fun. I just stumbled upon this post for creating a Glow in the Dark Easter Egg Hunt, and I'm going to make sure the Easter Bunny stops by their house and does this :-)

                                                     Light up your Easter Egg Hunt this year!

You know you're from Michigan when.....

Snowless winter in Michigan

Seeing this photo of a snowball fight in Times Square makes me really miss not having any snow this winter. Today was almost 50 degrees and sunny. In February. In Michigan. Last year it felt like we were living in the tundra, and this year feels like winter has passed us over completely.
