Hello April

Goodbye March, and Hello April!! I can't wait to see what exciting adventures this month holds. Here's hoping April brings everyone sparkly days in the company of good friends!

Ladies and Gentlemen

I came across this saying on Pinterest the other day, and haven't been able to get the truth of it out of my thoughts. I come across guys often and I can't help but ask myself, "Did your mother not teach you better?" Then the next question I ask myself is, "Who have you been dating, that has taught you it is okay to treat women that way?" I think it's an absolute disservice to all other women when girls don't act like ladies and give guys the challenge to be true gentlemen. Girls need to be taught to value themselves more and challenge men to treat them as ladies. I know I've done this myself. I only hope to challenge more people to truly be ladies and gentlemen.

St. Patty's Day Party Time Ideas

For those of you looking forward to getting together with friends over a green beer, here are some great St. Patrick's Day Fun Finds. Something about the Luck of the Irish has me very excited about this year's celebration!

1. This pretty table set up would be great for a gathering of friends who bring you the most blessings.
2. It would be fun to offer a variety of "Irish" beers for a fun taste testing.
3. These fun and free Rainbow Pot of Gold Printables would be a great way to decorate.
4. Or this more classic dessert table in plaid would look great!

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”

Shiny Things

Sad but true. I saw this image, and on my quest to locate it, was distracted at least 50 times by "shiny things. I am a firm believer everything in life looks a little better when shining, shimmering or glittering. That includes not only objects, but people as well. So be the shine, shimmer or glitter in someone's otherwise ordinary day!

Pink Dreams

I absolutely love pink. And glitter. But especially pink. It just gets my attention, and screams "NOTICE ME!!" I think all things worth noticing should have at least a touch of pink in them. While updating things at Double B Party Barns, I have slowly and joyfully been adding touches of pink here and there. It just makes my heart smile. I can't help it. And as I peruse the internet, I can't help but let my pink obsession take me to all sorts of fun and exciting new places.

This pink house is why I work. I must make money to  build a big pink mansion on a rolling hill that even Barbie or Scarlet O'Hara would be jealous of.

And I would love to drink coffee on the terrace of this pink home.

And to go down to the end of the dock and watch the sun set from this pink boat would just be extraordinary!

So whatever it is that makes your heart smile, I hope you add it in to your day today, tomorrow and every other day!
