Orange County Lifestyle and Mom Blog
In a previous post I mentioned my good friend, Eve. I marveled at her ability to effortlessly cater all of my parties and that she is one of the most creative people I know. What I failed to mention is that she does all this whilst being a terrific mom to five children. And in about a week that number goes up to six when she welcomes a baby girl.
I have a thing for wall decals. If you are a loyal reader, you will realize that I like a lot of things. Which means, that I like to spend my money and therefore don’t have any.

Looking for fruity mixed drinks to serve at your next baby shower? I found a great resource for you! This fun cookbook is full of non alcoholic mixed drink recipes perfect for moms-to-be. I’m not a real heavy drinker but I know that I missed ordering drinks when I was pregnant. You aren’t supposed to have too much caffeine, so goodbye coffee. Drinking is highly frowned upon.

You have no idea how hard these were to find. Awhile back, S and I attended the Halloween, Costume & Party Show in Vegas. Amid the sea of horribly scary Halloween items and super skanky costumes, there were also some party vendors which we were really excited to see.
