Specializing in bringing people together to create bright new memories.
It's my passion to help others plan out their next adventure and create enduring memories. Custom itinerary creation, registration tracking, activity booking, day-of coordination… It’s my pleasure to handle all of the details so my clients don’t have to.
Today is R’s 100th day of school, so last night we took some markers to an old tank top and made a special outfit for her to wear!
It’s fair to say she looks like a hundred bucks 😉
Did your kiddos do anything special for their 100th day of school?
Life is short. I was happy to use this morning and take advantage of nice weather to do a little outdoor recharging before hunkering down to be productive.
How are you spending your Sunday? Work or play?
💋 Kiss Me, I’m Irish! 🍀
March 17, 2018 - the first wedding I had the opportunity to help plan and do the day-of coordinating for. This wedding not only helped launch my event planning career, but also introduced me to Keshia Burks with Captured by K Photography.
Happy anniversary, Ben and Sam! Thank you for letting me be such a big part of your day 💍🥰
Graduation season is coming up in less than two months!
If you know anyone that needs help planning a graduation party, send them my way! I would love to help them kick off the next phase of life 🎉🎓
I've gotten a couple messages asking about how to "like" my page, so I thought I would make a call out to the *new* format that Facebook has for business pages. I'm not sure how Facebook decided which new pages get the new format, but it looks like I was one of the "lucky" ones.
🔹
This new format did away with the "like" function and replaced it with the "follow" button!

Happy Mardi Gras!!
While plenty of cities have big Mardi Gras celebrations, it’s no secret that New Orleans is THE place to go if you want to experience this holiday!
New Orleans offers a while host of festive balls, feasts, sweets, parades and other traditions. Today alone, NOLA has over 10 parades throughout the city!
Who wants to head to NOLA for Mardi Gras someday? In 2023 it lands on February 21!
One really fun thing about having a home-based business: I get to foster my step-daughter’s creativity and involve her in designing party decor!
🔹
This weekend I have a football themed birthday party on the books, and I have these very
P L A I N popcorn buckets to beautify… so I drew up a few on paper for her to decorate.
🔹
Who knows, maybe a few of those designs will make it to the food table! 🎉🍿🏈
It's national P I Z Z A Day! Who doesn't love a good pie?
🍕
17% of all restaurants in the US are pizzerias, and 10% of those are in NYC! But...
🍕
Pizza experts Francisco Migoya and Nathan Myhrvold ate their way through the country, trying over 400 pizzas on their journey... and to my surprise they actually landed on Portland, Oregon!
🍕
I guess I'll have to add Portland to my list. But in the meantime, guess who's having pizza for dinner!
I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely ✨digging✨ this weekend’s construction themed birthday party!
Happy Birthday, little man! 🥳
Today is National Sled Dog Day *and* National Ukulele Day! I want to see where you would rather go on vacation!
👍 to vote for a trip to Alaska
❤️ to vote for a trip to Hawaii
Let's see those reacts!
Here in SW Missouri we're in for a decent dose of winter over the next few days. I wouldn't blame Mr. Groundhog for skipping the shadow search this year and staying in bed!

❄How do you feel about the snow? ❄

The 2022 USS Canopus reunion is on the books!
🔹
I’ve had the pleasure of working with this group for their past two reunions and I’m so excited to get to add one more!
🔹
See you in October, Oklahoma!
The start of a new year means there are plenty of birthdays, graduations, retirements, etc. to go around!
I’m a working (step)parent, and I know how hectic it can be to try to juggle work and home life. Adding planning any kind of party to your daily life…sometimes it seems impossible.
For anyone in the Springfield area- let me help take that off your plate!
Happy Friday!
🔹
It’s definitely been a week, and I’ve gotta say I really wish I was walking into a vacation after the last few days!

If you had to choose, which vacation would YOU rather be on? Comment below! 💬👇🏼
Happy National Arkansas Day!
Living in SW Missouri means that folks around here head to The Natural State for a good outdoorsy weekend. 🧗🏻♀️🏕 🛶 🥾
But there are a bunch of fun cities to explore, too! Little Rock, Eureka Springs, Fayetteville, Hot Springs …
Arkansas should definitely be on your radar when you’re planning your next trip to the Midwest!

Merry Christmas, everyone! May your hearts be full and your worries be light! 🎄✨🎁
🎶 On the twelfth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Today we're taking a look at the Bavarian Village of Leavenworth, WA!
Full of traditional Alpine-style beauty, Leavenworth is like a trip to central Europe without the passport! Stop into the Hat Shop and get a festive piece for your Christmas outfit and go dog sledding. Walk through time at the Nutcracker Museum and meet some of Santa's furry friends at the Leavenworth Reindeer Farm. Enjoy the outdoors on snowshoes or a snowmobile. Finish it all off with sweet treats from the Gingerbread Factory!
This little town has so much Christmas spirit to offer, it's definitely going on my holiday travel bucket list!
Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! ❄🎄
🎶 On the eleventh day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Vegas does everything big and is all about the show, and Christmas is no exception!
The Bellagio puts out a huge (seriously, think 42-foot tree) Christmas display. There are Christmas-themed shows and light displays everywhere. There’s a rooftop 4,200 square foot skating rink. There’s an entirely edible holiday display that took over 200 hours to complete… talk about extremes!
It was a busy busy past few days celebrating Christmas a little bit early with my stepdaughter, so I let this one slip through the cracks. But I’m baaaack!
🎶 On the tenth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Boston… oh Boston. You have a special place in my heart 😍 There are so many things to check out in Boston even on a normal day, just imagine the beauty of the holidays!
❄️ The Holiday Pops concerts
❄️ An Irish Christmas Carol cruise
❄️ Watch the Bruins or the Celtics play at TD Garden
❄️ Attend the tree lighting ceremony at Boston Common (complete with a figure skating contest on Frog Pond!)
I’ve spent many a Christmas in the Boston area and I definitely want to make it back there sometime soon 😍
🎶 On the ninth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
A white Aspen Christmas. A lot of people think of Aspen as one of the top ski resort destinations in the US, and of course that’s true! But you can also enjoy plenty of other outdoor magic - take a Powder Cat tour, experience the weekly Ullr Nights celebrations, go snowshoeing, and the “12 Days of Aspen” festival.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
🎶 On the eighth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Alright alright, finally the one city that I'm sure everyone expected to see! New York City is a huge tourist destination all year long, and Christmas is no exception!
The Bronx Zoo puts on a holiday light show. The Williamsburg Hotel hosts a holiday high tea. Watch the Christmas Spectacular featuring the world famous Radio City Rockettes, or the New York City Ballet's The Nutcracker....
Everything about Christmas in the Big Apple is truly magical, why not take a trip to see for yourself?
🎶 On the seventh day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Christmas in San Diego!
It may not be the classic white Christmas that I’ll always hold dear, but really who doesn’t want to spend Christmas watching Santa’s surf in the Pacific and ice skating on 👏🏼 the 👏🏼 beach 👏🏼
There are also plenty of parades (like the Mother Goose parade and the Holiday Pet Parade in the Gaslamp District) and performances (like the Nutcracker or How the Grinch Stole Christmas).
Anyone else getting a case of Traveller’s Heartache just reading about all these different Christmases??
🎶 On the sixth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Christmas in Vermont
Yep, you read that right. Nearly every list of "best Christmas vacations" includes somewhere in Vermont, and if you've ever been to Vermont in the winter you would agree that it's the picture perfect Christmas getaway.
Here are some must-do’s in the Green Mountain state:
❄️ Manchester has Canine Christmas - perfect for any dog lover!
❄️ Middlebury hosts a month-long Christmas celebration with a town wide scavenger hunt
❄️ Waterbury’s River of Light lantern festival is a great way to meet locals
❄️ St. Albans has a Festival of Trees with different festivities each night for a week
❄️ Stowe has a chance for you to learn all about dog sledding
And if none of those sound good? You can always book a stay at one of the 25+ ski resorts in the state!
🎶 On the fifth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Christmas in our nation's capital - Washington D.C.
I personally love visiting DC for the history of it- I love the museums and the monuments honoring our heroes. But Christmas time in the capital is a whole new world to explore!
You can look at Christmas trees that honor the history and culture of each state. You can skate in (or rather ON) a fountain. You can take a holiday-specific tour at Mount Vernon…
Are you a true American? Then you’ve gotta experience December in DC at least once 😉
🎶 On the fourth day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
A Christmas season in Chicago! My parents live in the Chicago area and oddly enough, the only times I’ve spent time downtown have been during Christmas time. From the Christkindlmarket, to shows at any one of Chi Town’s theaters, to the Christmas Around the World display at the Museum of Science and Industry…Chicago is truly beautiful in December. But be sure to bundle up! The Windy City sure does get cold 🥶❄️
🎶 On the third day of Christmas, my planner gave to me 🎶 ...
Christmas in Philly!
There are so many things to do in Philadelphia to boost your Christmas spirit.
There’s the Christmas Light Show at the Wanamaker building (feat. the world’s largest functioning organ) and skating at Dilworth Park.
There’s the Dickens Village (any A Christmas Carol fans out there?) and the Holiday Garden Railway at the arboretum.
There’s Christmas performances at the Kimmel Cultural Campus and the gingerbread competition at Peddler’s Village…
And if you stay through New Years? Make sure the Mummer’s Parade is on your itinerary!
I love Philly for the history…but Christmas time in the City of Brotherly Love is definitely on my list! 😍
