Chic 40th Birthday Party Ideas
My 40th birthday party was finally here! When I was asked what I wanted to do to celebrate such an important milestone, I wondered whether I wanted to have a party or go on a cruise. I opted to plan a small-budget party and have a cruise later on since I decided not to splurge much on this party. That, however, didn’t stop me from putting my thinking cap on and throwing my ideas together to come up with a low-budget chic 40th birthday party that I would love. Now I also had the option to have it done at a venue or planned by my event planner aunt, but…
How To Plan a 40th Birthday Party
I am at it again! This time it’s not for a kids’ birthday party but rather for an adult birthday party. I get to once again put my creative thinking cap on and plan another momentous occasion in my family. This time it’s hubby’s turn. Hubby just turned 40! Can you believe it?

That takes some time to do. However, it’s needed in order to see your book progress and reach its potential audience.

How To Self-Publish A Book
I just self-published my first book! I am not a “guru” as yet, since this is my first book. However, I had to write this blog post to encourage you as moms, wives, daughters, and sisters, to not hide your need to write your story or something that you want to share with the world. Writing I agree may look intimidating at first, but to be honest with you, it’s the fear that keeps most of us hidden behind our gifts and talents. I am here to encourage you to write and truly express yourself; if that is your talent. Have you always wanted to write your own book? Let…
How To Make Your Own Custom Family T-shirts
Here’s another DIY project I did to make my own custom family t-shirts that I was able to get done without spending a lot of money. My family is heading to Disney World! We are so excited as it’s the kid’s first time going to Disney. I fondly remember my first time at Disney when I was about their age. It was so much fun seeing and experiencing everything. Now they get to have fun as well, just like I did. So of course, I envisioned us all wearing Mickey Mouse T-shirts with our names on them. I first went to see where I could get them done for a…
Mario-Themed Birthday Party On A Budget
Wow, another 5 years have passed and my youngest son is at it again with his desired birthday party theme. I always like to give them an option when it comes to choosing the theme for their birthday party to make it unique and also special to them. This year was no different and my youngest son requested a ‘good old time’ favorite of mine Mario. Who would have thought that my kids would also love Mario as much as I did growing up? It was as much fun for me planning it as it was for them. So I took on the challenge, scoped around Pinterest for ideas, and…

How To Plan A Kids’ Birthday Party On A Budget
If you are like me, I am always planning a birthday party for my sons as the years go by. I like to create memories but let’s confess it. Birthday parties can get pretty expensive really quickly if you are not careful, especially when planning a kids’ birthday party on a budget. Both my kids had a 1st birthday party at an event space. My eldest had his birthday at The Florida Aquarium, while my youngest had his birthday at the Glazer Children’s Museum. They were hefty-priced birthday parties that I splurged on for their first birthday, but don’t think I want to repeat that every single year. So, here…
How To Make A LEGO Table From IKEA LACK Center Table
As promised, I wanted to give you the instructions on how to make the LEGO table I did for my kid’s toy room makeover (Decluttering and Organizing a Toy Room or Space) and the items that I used to create it. My kids 4 and 5 are already LEGO fans. They love creating and building with LEGOS. I love that it helps them with creativity and as such, I really try to expand their interest in this toy. My eldest son already wants to be an engineer, which is quite surprising because he already knows what he wants to do. He is always trying to figure out how things work,…
