Traditions can be tricky with kiddos! These are some of my favorite Valentine’s Day traditions that my parents started that I have continued with my children. (And a few Valentine’s ideas of my own.) These are easy to do on a budget too! Low cost and kid-friendly, does it get any better? I love Valentine’s […]
I nerded out for my young daughter’s Miraculous birthday party and created a board game for our family to play together. My kids loved it! In this post, I have included the downloads for the free printable instructions and game pieces so you can easily re-create the game at home. It’s called Capture the Akuma. […]
My little niece introduced the show Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir to my parents when she was visiting them. Then my parents showed my kids the series. My girls were hooked. I mean, completely captivated. I have heard multiple name drops from that show in every conversation the kids have engaged in since […]

I recently had the privilege of throwing a baby shower for my sister-in-law, Cami. Choosing a theme was the easy part- my nephew’s name will be Jett, so an airplane theme was the obvious choice. Boy, did everything turn out cute! I can’t wait to show you what I did with the help of my […]
My family is big on themed parties, and we love to throw fun but affordable ones. My daughter’s top two Disney movies are The Little Mermaid and Big Hero 6, and she wanted them to be party themes. So we threw a Little Mermaid party for her last year, and saved the Big Hero 6 […]
This is Rosa, the little pink owl that has been attached to my daughter’s side for two years now. Rosa was the center of my daughter’s birthday party this year. I wasn’t sure how we would pull off a cute party with me being only three weeks post C-section (Thank goodness my angel mom was […]
We sisters LOVE the TLC show Four Weddings (and boy, did we binge-watch it before Madison’s wedding!). Each episode features four brides that compete for a grand prize honeymoon by having the highest-rated wedding. The brides-to-be (all were strangers before the show), attend each other’s weddings and give each wedding a rating based on different […]
My two little daughters are super into Shimmer and Shine, a show about twin genies-in-training. Imagine a Lisa Frank-ish world, and then add glitter. And more glitter. The girls often pretend to be the main characters from the show. It’s the cutest thing to watch them play together, sporting high ponytails and necklaces on their […]
Throwing a birthday party during a move isn’t the easiest thing to do. On the day of my husband’s birthday, we had one foot in the old house and one in the new. I was frustrated! The original birthday plans for Jake went out the window, and any hope of making his day feel special […]
Looking for ideas for a fun and budget-friendly Princess party! You’re in the right place! My daughter, Claire, is going to be four this week. Four! We are moving in just a few short weeks, so we decided to have her birthday party a little early to alleviate some stress. Because even fun, birthday party […]
Cake, presents, and streamers galore…it’s been Birthday season at the O’Loughlins. Three of the six birthdays in my family are all in the same week! We love it! But it can be tough on the Party Planner, AKA Mom. Since we just wrapped up this Week of Birthday Bliss in our house, I’d like to […]
