I just wanted to take a moment to let you know I’ll be flying solo here at She Knows Parties from here on out. Deb landed a wonderful gig as the community manager at Blog Talk Radio , you can check out all the details on her personal blog, and wish her well.

My son woke up this morning and announced he wanted to go see Wall-E today. I said sure (it’s one of the perks of working from home). I decided I could call it research if I wrote down some Wall-E party ideas in my notebook while we were watching the movie (another perk).

For as long as I can remember we’ve always had some type of family gathering on the 4th of July. Some of my favorite summertime memories are from playing with my cousins on the 4th of July.
When I was growing up my uncle lived on a lake, and we always went there for […]

A couple years ago a friend of mine had a summer garden party. She set up tables in her apple orchard, between a couple of her flower gardens. It was a wonderful setting for a party.
Everyone brought their favorite garden dish, with a copy of the recipe. The hostess also served herbal teas, and […]
4th of July cookouts need red white and blue desserts. I posted an idea a couple weeks ago for a 4th of July Cupcake Flag. There are several other great 4th of July dessert recipes out there.
One of the all time favorites is the 4th of July flag cake made with strawberries and […]
