Anna turned 1 on Friday, and the kids demanded that we throw her a birthday party. She needed presents, and bacon for breakfast, and to wear the birthday hat, and to eat cake. As a member of the family, she was entitled to all of the birthday accoutrements that one would normally reserve for humans. […]

How Martha Stewart Tried to Ruin My Oscars Party
For the eleventh year in a row, or, as my daughter put it, starting waaaaaaaayyyyy before she was born, we hosted an Oscars party at which to watch the Academy Awards telecast. Food, prizes, and fun were had by everyone, especially my six-year-old who was promised that she could stay up to watch the performance […]
The Nerd Cupcake Challenge
I am leaving today to spend the weekend with a bunch of weirdos. We are going to play board games and video games and do nerdy things like talk about geeky stuff. I know. It’s going to be awesome. As part of this weekend we have each been assigned to bring part of the food, […]

Lightning The Queen
For some reason, Ruby decided to have a Cars themed birthday party this year. I say “for some reason,” not because I am sexist and think that girls cannot have Cars themed birthday parties, but rather because she has never shown any interest in cars before. She does not play with cars, she has not […]
Lithuanian Tree Cake
This weekend I had the distinct pleasure of attending the birthday party of one of my favorite people here in Florida, Richelle Mego. It was held at the local Lithuanian Club (every town has one, right?) and featured tons of Lithuanian food, cheeses, beers, and, most importantly, a Lithuanian tree cake. Now, I know what […]
