How many unicorns do you see? These three are part of my unicorn theme set of rentals. One is a bowl for snacks, one is a cake platter and one is just for fun. The Ferris Wheel at the back holds cupcakes - a perfect addition to your dessert table. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I love me an Oprah quote but this one really speak

I love me an Oprah quote but this one really speaks to me. And to me it can mean big celebrations or small ones. Celebrate the small daily wins, look for something you can be grateful about. When you do celebrate these small wins, you prime your brain to recognize them without trying so hard. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In celebrating life’s bigger milestones like turning 50, having a baby or your child’s first birthday, you have the chance to look back and cherish moments you might have let flown by if you didn’t take a second to pause and celebrate. It’s why I do what I do - I help people celebrate these big milestones so that they can relive memories with friends, reflect on how far they’ve come and be joyous with loved ones. That celebration doesn’t end after the party - you have new memories and are reminded of everything you have in life that should be celebrated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So never stop celebrating - the little wins as well as those big milestones. It’s what allows you to enjoy this journey through life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you fancy a glass of vino? 🍷 Last weekend we

Do you fancy a glass of vino? 🍷 Last weekend we headed to Jordan Ontario for some wine tasting with my in-laws and I had heard about a few wineries that really focus on sustainability so I wanted to check them out!
We did a tour at Flat Rock and learned about their sustainability efforts including using geo-thermal systems for heating and cooling, ozone technology to clean the barrels without the use of chemicals and a gravity flow system. The gravity flow system refers to the wine making process which is done in a multi-floor building, using gravity to move the grapes and juice through the process greatly reducing the amount of energy needed.
Do you have a favourite Ontario Winery? We took home the Twisted Red and their signature gravity Pinot Noir from Flat Rock which we tried and were so yummy!

Not only does purchasing local Ontario wines reduce the environmental impact of shipping but the local wineries are so grateful for our support. It’s incredibly hard to ship wine internationally from Ontario due to regulations so they rely on us for their success. If you live in the Hamilton area, make a day of it and go taste some delicious wine only 40 minutes from our backyard.

Last week I shared in my stories one thing I do to

Last week I shared in my stories one thing I do to reduce food waste. Whenever I’m cooking and find myself with carrot peel, celery ends, onion ends, parsley stems and any other veggie scraps, I put them in a reusable freezer bag in the freezer.
Once the bag is full, I pull them out and throw them in a pot covered with water. I bring them to a boil and simmer in low for an hour or two. Voila! Fresh veggie stock with no preservatives, salt or other additives. Then store it in your fridge for up to a week and use it in sauces, soups or even boil up some rice to give it some added flavour.
What are you tricks for reducing food waste in your kitchen?

Ok we’ve got to talk about this. Biodegradable b

Ok we’ve got to talk about this. Biodegradable balloons. Sometimes I get asked why I don’t use biodegradable balloons in my decor - and my answer is because there’s really no such thing. Many companies market their balloons as being biodegradable and while the latex they are made from is, the other ingredients mixed in with the latex are not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While they may degrade over many many years, the balloons will almost never get to that point. The bright colours are enticing to wildlife who eats the balloon pieces and chokes or causes intestinal blockages. In the ocean they pieces mimic jellyfish and sea turtles eat them up and get “float syndrome”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are no balloons that are good for the environment and a release of balloons for a gender reveal or a festival opening is just about the worst thing you could do with them. So don’t believe the greenwashing and stick to alternatives that can be reused. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is the kind of world I want to live in 💕💕

This was taken @thepearlhummingbird at their Dress your Best Tea Party. These two were showing off their gowns one minute and doing construction work the next. Kids only learn what’s “girly” or what’s a “boy activity” by their surroundings - school, the media, family. The media has been doing a better job recently by being more inclusive in advertisements but they still have a long way to go!
Have your child’s next birthday @thepearlhummingbird - themed party rooms, with decor add-ons by me and access to all their fun themed play rooms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I can do anything in this world with you by my side. 💕 One day late to the Valentine’s Day party but I was really excited about that bachelorette package. 🤣 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hope you had a great day whether you celebrated or not. Make sure you tell the ones you love how much you care everyday, not just on Valentine’s Day. Tomorrow is not guaranteed. So take the leap, express your love and be grateful for what you have. I love the people I’ve met on here and have learned so much and been so inspired by them! So thank you! I’m grateful for you today and everyday. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Happy Valentine’s Day! And in honour of this day

Happy Valentine’s Day! And in honour of this day of love I’m posting my newest rental collection for bachelorette parties - the best kind of pre-wedding party. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pretty in pink and gold this set packs up into a wine box so can be easily transported to the party destination - whether that’s an Airbnb in Montreal, a wine tasting weekend in Niagara or hotel downtown this stuff adds just the right amount of celebration before a night out on the town. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The pink letterboard comes with a ton of letters so you can write whatever you’d like. The black and white fabric makes a great table runner and there are two strings of triangular banners. DM me to reserve it for your upcoming weekend. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In honour of Galentine’s Day I think a bubbly bar is in order. I’ll take champagne with pink lemonade topped with raspberries please! 🥂 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember to tell your gal pals how much they mean to you today! One of my very best gal pals lettered this sign and now it’s for rent up on my site! Perfect for a bridal shower, bachelorette, milestone birthday or baby shower. Thanks to @kjm.lettering for being so talented with the marker and for more than 25 years of friendship 💕💕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

On Sunday I got to be a part of such a fun event - a Valentine’s Tea Party. It was a magical day @thepearlhummingbird filled with playtime, treats, tea in beautiful china from @grans.tea.time and Belle from @foreverfairest even came for songs, hugs and photos with all the little ones.
I designed a backdrop for the event to get your photo with Belle and brought along my princess and unicorn decor to make the event even more magical!
Here are a few of my favourite photos from the event! 👑 💃🏼 ☕️ #princessteaparty #teapartytheme #princessparty #kidspartydecor #kidspartyideas #thisissix #princesspartyideas

Have you ever eaten a bad tomato? 🍅 You know the ones I’m talking about - the out of season, grainy one that has essentially no juice when you cut it. 😖
Well life’s too short to eat a bad tomato. @msrachelhollis did a live a while back and said this and it’s stuck with me and can be applied to almost anything. Life is too short to spend time on things you aren’t passionate about. It’s too short to keep saying yes to things you don’t really want to do. It’s too short to say “I’ll do that thing next month when I’m less busy”. And it’s too short to eat that dang bad tomato.
What fruit or vegetable, that when you cut into it and see that it’s perfectly ripe do you do a happy dance? For me it’s obviously tomatoes but also peaches! Those summer in season peaches - I can eat 3 in a row! 🍑

That sun was out shining today so even though it was cold it was a great day to get outside and move your body. I’m a lot worse at staying active in the winter because I don’t run much in the cold weather but when I do get outside in the fresh air, it feels so good.
This was from last weekend @arrowheadprovpark skating trail - a 1km long loop making for a much more enjoyable skate than around a circular rink. Have you been to one of our gorgeous provincial parks in the wintertime?

The summer Olympics are less than 6 months away (which also means warm weather will be coming!) Do you follow the Olympics? I enjoy watching the running, swimming and beach volleyball events best! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you have a little one who is super into sports and has a birthday in the summer, why not do a creative and timely theme like the Olympics? This photo backdrop was a hit with the kids with photo props like gold medals and Olympic glasses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Do you do Valentine’s Day gifts? What’s the be

Do you do Valentine’s Day gifts? What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift you’ve ever given or received? I wanted to share a few ideas of how you can keep Valentine’s Day gifts eco-friendly and relatively low waste. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m going to challenge you this year to leave the plastic & palm-oil filled chocolates, stuffed animals and roses wrapped in plastic behind and try some more eco-friendly alternatives. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you want to go for flowers, work with a florist who sources locally without wrapping in plastic. $140 million of roses are shipped in from South America - not very eco-friendly. These flowers are also often covered in tons of pesticides because the flower industry is not regulated down there. Fair-trade chocolate is also a great gift idea. You can find many brands not wrapped in plastic but instead in a paper type wrapper. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Or get even more creative by printing out some photos and framing them or making a photo book keepsake. Write an old-fashioned love note. Make a special meal for your partner - maybe one that reminds you of your favourite vacation destination. Or why not do an experience together. Try an independent, local restaurant or brewery you’ve never been to or tickets to a concert. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This month I’m going to be talking about food waste and I’m starting with kids snacks, lunches and party foods. That will be in tomorrow’s newsletter. Click the link in my bio to sign up! But here are some of my favourite party foods that kids and adults will enjoy. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We of course have the veggies and hummus - these can be prepared in advance so buy the real thing with no plastic (plus who likes raw cauliflower anyways??) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make some muffin tin frittatas - if you’re kids won’t eat them with veggies, try grated cheese and ham in them. Bake them in the oven and pop them out for a wrapper free, protein filled snack. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A popcorn bar is a fun way to display snacks at a party and aren’t filled with sugar like a candy bar is. Bulk barn sells popcorn or you can pop your own on the stovetop and add seasoning. It’s also a whole lot cheaper than a candy bar too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Finally try some tea sandwiches. PB&J (be sure to check for allergies) or ham & cheese are great kid favourites. Cut them in triangles so that kids can just take 1 or 2 to start to prevent food waste. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stay tuned from some exciting giveaways surrounding food waste this month! You won’t want to miss these prizes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
