From the Desk of A.J. - Hostess With The Mostess (.com)

* A 'B' themed Baby Shower! Tooo cute!

I know…don’t hate me…but I HAD to blog about this site…and yes…it has to do with party throwing. Don’t worry…I promise we are not turning into a 24/7 entertaining party throwing blog…but when you visit Hostess With The Mostess…you’ll understand the reason for my madness.

OK…now that little dude’s party is behind us…and I think I’m finally settling into him turning 1 (ok…giving up bottles, which means less Boppy feedings/cuddle time, which means intro-ing milk, forward facing car seat…and buying his first pair of big boy shoes…all within 2 weeks is waaaaaay too much to ask of a mama…I mean he’s alright with all of the changes…but the Hubster and I, that’s a different story). Anyway…babbling again…sorry…what I meant to say is…I’m on to the next party!!!

A cousin of mine just recently got engaged and my party partner in crime (hey sister) and I are helping out with the engagement party… of course. Searching high and low through the net I stumbled upon (don’t you love how much I stumble upon things?) Hostess With The Mostess, an online party resource. Here we go…

Created by a design guru in San Diego and queen of all parties….she has put together an incredible party site choc full of ideas, recipes, themes, you name it…its in there. The site is super simple to navigate…unlike a lot of other party sites I have been to. HWTM tags them as Entertaining 101 (simple basics tips for hostessing a party), Fab finds (great guide for party décor), Fab gifts (self explanatory), Recipe box, Yummy reads (great guide for cookbooks), Entertaining Reads (great book guide, well, for entertaining:). HWTM also features “in the spotlight” parties which has all 5 steps featured in pics and tips…sooooo inspiring!!! Intro, tabletop, party décor, on the menu, and favors. Unbelievable how beautiful and fun these parties are…and what’s great is you can go all out as in the pics..or scale it down to fit your needs and or budget. A lot of d.i.y. easy crafts too…we love that…makes it so much more personal & unique:)

Check it out and I promise, you will thank your lucky stars you have signed up to be a follower of our PSD blog…which just so happens to be written by some themed party lovin’ mamas:)
