Valentine's Day Party!

The girls and I hosted a Valentine's Day Party/ play date for the University Alliance (resident physician spouse group). It was so much fun. We ended up with a good turn out of about 15 mommies and their kids. We decorated sugar cookies and I think it only took a few minutes before my kitchen floor was covered in sprinkles (I could see that coming). The kids enjoyed eating, decorating and playing. I enjoyed finally having a space big enough to host that many!

Getting the decorations together was the fun part. My friend Lindi from Love the Day is an amazing stylist and graphic designer! She and a few other friends threw me a fabulous baby shower for Scarlett (that I somehow forgot to blog about) last year. Anyhow she had some fun, free printables for Valentines Day that she was giving away. I hopped on that and downloaded them. I used the colors to guide my decor. Thanks Lindi. I think the party turned out amazing.

I am in love with this frosting that I use on the cupcakes. I don't know if I'll every go back to buttercream.

My friend Linzie made these delish truffles!

I took some streamers and just folded them a little as I ran them through my sewing machine and took some white heart dollies from the Dollar Tree and strung them threw some white yarn.

I pulled this party off on a small budget and it all came together!
