P&C Real Life Party: Sharks and SCUBA divers
Last Saturday we celebrated my son Jack’s 6th birthday – practically underwater (DISCLAIMER: no part of this party was actually underwater, nor was any guest attacked by a shark). Jack is learning all about all ocean life in school this year, and has been completely obsessed with sharks as of late. So, what’s a mom to do but create a Sharks and SCUBA divers birthday party!
Mini Desserts
Mini desserts on a mini dessert buffet, cute right? I was really inspired by a new line of Tasting Party sets from Pier One, LOVE these mini dishes! I was planning on making a regular size strawberry trifle, but individuals were just way cuter. Paired with mini carrot cupcakes and mini peanut butter brownies, this mini dessert mini buffet was just the right size for our family Easter celebration.

A little tip for the Easter Bunny
Dear Easter Bunny, If you would be so kind as to hide some of these yummy carrot mini-cupcakes on a stick instead of the traditional hard boiled eggs, I would be forever in your gratitude. Sincerely, mom to Autumn and Jack

Lemonade for Japan
I received an email late last week from Missy, of Sweet Funky Vintage Boutique, with the most amazing story. Using our Lemonade Stand printables, she and her girls put together a fundraiser, selling – what else – Lemonade. I was also touched when she mentioned that her husband is currently on the USS Ronald Reagan, off the coast of Japan, assisting with relief efforts. Sher wrote about her experience, here is what she had to say…
