Woooowee! It’s the weekend again, and our last weekend before we take a trip back east to see friends and family (and so I can attend NYIGF and this awesome blogger bash!). We’ve had quite the heat wave here, perhaps it’s preparing us for the soaring temps on the other coast? But before I take off on my adventure I’ll be spending all of next week sharing a very fun party with you… my niece’s rainbow birthday party! I’ll kick everything off on Monday with the full party scoop and then share the DIY projects from behind the scenes throughout the week. Hope you’re ready to get colorful because it’s gonna be a color explosion up in here! Happy weekend (up to anything good??)!
