Luke's Superhero Party!

Luke turned 5 and we celebrated with a Superhero party!
He has been talking about having a Superhero party since the beginning of the year.
Luke loves all Superheroes, but especially Batman!
The party was a Superhero theme, but it was also a pool party (Luke loves swimming, we have a pool & he has a summer birthday, so every single one of his parties has been a pool party along with theme)

 I got some capes & masks for the kids to dress up in:
 I got them {HERE}

Matching masks:

Next to the capes, I had this sign...everyone loved figuring out their Super Hero name!

I kept the decorations pretty simple for the party.

Loved all the primary colors!

You know I love hanging things from my ceiling :)
View from the other direction:
You can see the WHAM pinata behind my stove. 
Luke banner:
I got the decorations from Oriental Trading.
 They were big and added a nice pop of color!
I had all the appetizers on the center island.
Close up of the appetizers:
Corn Dip {Recipe HERE}
Veggies & Hummus:
Cat Woman's Claws (Bugles)
Kettlecorn:
The FOOD.....our outdoor kitchen that Kevin built is done, so it was so nice having that area to set up all the food!
The menu was pretty simple.
Hot dogs:
Pulled Pork {Recipe HERE}
Brocolli Slaw (I like this instead of coleslaw to serve on top of my pulled pork)
Potato Salad:
Tortellini Pasta Salad {Recipe HERE}
Watermelon:
When I host big parties, I put serve most of the food in disposable foil tins...makes clean up 100 times easier :)

Now onto my favorite....the dessert table!
 I just love having a dessert table!
 I mean..who doesn't love a dessert table?
We had Kryponite (green rock candy)
Fruit Puffs:

 I make these for almost every party..they are so good!

Spiderman's Webs:
 
Wonder Woman's Lasso:
 
Vanilla Cupcakes:

 I got the cupcake toppers {HERE}
The AMAZING cake my Mother in Law made:
Luke wanted a Superhero party, but a Batman cake :)
 Plates & napkins to go with the theme:
Fun straws:

We had a great time celebrating Luke's 5th birthday...can't believe my baby is FIVE!!!

A Fond Farewell

The time has come. It's been an amazing 10.5 years of blogging, but all good things must come to an end, right? This is something I've been thinking about for months.  When will it be time to say goodbye to blogging? I have absolutely LOVED blogging.  It has been such a fun & a creative outlet for me.  I have loved sharing our lives with you, sharing recipes, printables, parties I've thrown and other day to day randomness with you. When I started this blog in August of 2008 it was a way to keep our family updated about our lives. It has changed and evolved the past 10.5 years in ways I never imagined. I am so thankful for all the people I have met & friendships I have formed because of my blog. It has given me amazing opportunities & for that I am thankful. I want to thank you, my readers. You are some of the most supportive women out there. In the past 10.5 years I can count on one hand the negative comments I have gotten. You have all been so positive and su...

Homemade Vanilla Extract + Cyber Week Deals

I don't know about you, but I love baking.  I go through A LOT of vanilla extract each year.  Real vanilla extract is expensive! Anywhere between $8-$12 a bottle.  Years ago I heard about making your own vanilla extract, and it is so easy!  You only need 2 ingredients.  I thought I would share how to make it and it also makes a great gift idea for this time of year. Who wouldn’t be happy to receive a bottle of this?   It makes the perfect hostess gift when you are invited to a Holiday Party, a great gift for your child’s teacher, office staff, neighbors, etc!  Here is what you need to make 12 (2oz) bottles of Vanilla Extract:  Vodka (use the cheap stuff!!!) Make sure it is at least 80 proof  10 Vanilla Beans (make sure they are B grade) I got mine HERE 12 (2oz) Glass Bottles. I got mine HERE Mini Funnel. I got mine HERE Personalized labels. I got mine HERE (Nancy is amazing to work with!) Bakers Twine Scissors Thin Black Sharpie  Dire...
