Has your child been invited to a sleepover, and you don't know the host family?
This recently happened with my middle school son. He was invited by a friend from band to a sleepover at his house. Of course, my mind took off in all sorts of directions! 🤪
It did get me thinking about how to prepare myself and son to make us both feel comfortable and how to handle this new situation.
Check out my latest blog post about what to consider when sending your child to a sleepover.

Elf kits will be available next week!
"Mamma Mia!"
This one definitely took me back to my childhood! Who doesn't remember playing Super Mario Brothers on their Nintendo, popping in and out of the sewer pipes to defeat the enemy?
I must admit, I haven't kept up with all the latest games, movies, etc., but as soon as the request for table centerpieces came in, I knew I wanted to create something that resembled the sewer pipes.
A few plumbing connectors and spray paint made the idea in my mind a reality!
I'm contemplating listing these in my Etsy shop, but I couldn't ship them made. The buyer would have to insert the characters, wording and red filler into the pipes. Would you buy something you have to make?

This one is for all the 90s kids out there! I had so much fun writing this one and reliving all the sleepovers from my childhood.
https://www.thebirthdayconcierge.net/post/the-ultimate-90s-sleepover-party
Monday after a holiday weekend usually requires more than my normal cup of coffee a day. And today will be no different. 😂
I hope everyone had a fun and safe July 4th. We were at home, which was awesome! Our weekends are often spent at a softball or baseball field so it was nice to slow down and hang out at home!
I was able to whip up some homemade salsa for the 4th with tomatoes and peppers from our garden. Both of them are thriving right now, producing loads of peppers and tomatoes!
I don’t have exact measurements because I do it mostly by how many tomatoes I have and taste. Generally, I’ll quarter between 5-8 tomatoes, depending on size and put those in the food processor for a rough chop. And yes, I’m old school. That food processor is 20 years old and was a wedding gift. If it works, it works!
Then, I rough chop a bell pepper, jalapeno (or 2 depending on your spice level), onion and cilantro. I cheated this time and bought the pre-chopped. Throw it all in the food processor to blend. Then, I add salt, pepper, cumin and lime juice. After a few more seconds in the food processor, I give it a taste and see what I need to add to adjust the flavoring.
Quick and easy salsa in under 10 minutes, I guarantee!

Happy Friday!
Looking for a good, easy read this weekend?
Check out the Benevolence series by .
So far I’ve only read the first two Pretend You’re Mine and Finally Mine, but both were easy reads and something to pick up in the evenings.
If you liked Colleen Hoover’s collection of books, then these are right up your alley. Maybe just a tad more romance and s**t. 😂 But these books will have you rooting for the main characters to come to their senses and accept what is so obvious to the reader!
The first two books almost read as a dual narrative with the same four main characters and some of the same events, just from a different perspective.
These are perfect vacation reads or just an easy read for the summer.
Here are some fun July 4th finds from !
I am very intrigued by the large float turned food server. Ice on the bottom will keep food and drinks cold!
Let me know if you want any of the links!
You know those friends you’ve had forever, your ride or die pals. The ones you can pick right up with even if you haven’t seen each other in months. Yea, those girls!
To be quite honest, I don’t get to see mine as often as I’d like, and I’m sure I’m not alone.
Life.
There is no other way to say it, but we all have responsibilities to our family, work and countless other “adulting” commitments.
So when the opportunity to see my girls came up, I jumped on it. Both of my kids had the weekend off from tournaments Mother’s Day weekend. A rarity for sure, and presumably to spend time with their mom. Instead, a long weekend in Cancun was the perfect getaway.
Sunny skies, white sand and lounging for hours by the beach or pool. It gave us a chance to catch up on each other's lives, laugh till we cried and no one was yelling, “mom!”
We stayed at , an adults only resort because who wants kids yelling and crying when you left yours at home! There was definitely a big pool scene…personally, I could take or leave. It’s just not my vibe. There was some seaweed on the beach…’tis the season. However, it wasn’t terrible, and they were working to clean it up. The beach was just ok…I’ve experienced better. There were large rock formations not too far offshore and it prevented the water from fully washing in and out.
The best part of the resort was the cabana and bottle service. Surprisingly, it wasn’t outrageously expensive. Plus it provided a little shade against the sun. It was the perfect way to dip in the water for a bit and then hop out to read, nap and grab a drink.
It was a fantastic opportunity to relax and recharge so my kids get the best of me!
Ahhh summer! You are so magical with your lazy mornings and majestic evening sunsets. The pace has slowed and bedtimes are pushed back to enjoy just a few more moments together.
I've read "To Kill a Mockingbird" at least 6 or 7 times. And this quote always painted the perfect picture of summer for me. Small town summer, where the kids could roam free and explore their surroundings. My kids are old enough to roam a little more freely and create their own entertainment - not camps and electronics!
Yes, we still have a few lessons and practices to get to, but there is more time for the kids to just be kids! I'm trying to allow my kids more free time this summer - less structured activities and camps. And we've done alway with phone and iPad games - less technology! I've also told them, it's ok to be bored. So far it hasn't gone too bad, but I may regret the very same things next week!
What's your summer plan for the kiddos?
Summer is here, and what better way to make it unforgettable for your kids than with a Swiftie-themed sleepover? Imagine their excitement as they step into a magical world filled with music, laughter, and cozy tents that promise an adventure they'll cherish for years to come.
The Swifte Par-Tay is definitely our most popular theme right now! This celebration was for a young lady celebrating her 10th birthday! Of course, she and her friends were all Swifties! This party was extra special because she included her younger sister and cousin in the fun! Talk about a sweet girl!
Our Swiftie Par-Tay includes everything Taylor Swift - blankets, pillows, oversized friendship bracelets with her albums and red, heart sunglasses!
We are on the road for another tournament. This time, it's Harper's turn. Her team is playing in their last 8u tournament before moving up to 10u. The last hurrah of coach pitch! 🥎
It's a multi-day tournament with pin trading, teams from different states and lots of fun activities. So to add to the hype, I bought a giant head of Harper...with the mean face. 😡
She hates it! And in the days since it's arrived, I've found it hidden around the house, hoping I would forget it! 😂
What do you guys think, should I use it or leave it at home since she hates it?
Hey y’all! It’s been a little while!
I didn’t intend to go MIA, but life took over. My kids finished school, and the next week, we left for Cooperstown/Boston. My son had the chance of a lifetime to play in a baseball tournament in Cooperstown, NY!
This tournament is special because it’s only for 12u players. The team stays in a bunk house for five days with the coaches. There are teams from all over the country pin trading, playing wiffle ball and living out their baseball dreams. It really is a magical experience for the boys.
We flew in and out of Boston so we were able to spend a little time exploring the city and the historical sites. We took in a game and stadium tour, walked , visited and enjoyed the gorgeous weather! Also, we did a day tour of Lexington and Concord, and the kids absolutely hated it! In Springfield, we visited the basketball hall of fame and the Dr. Suess museum.
And what surprised me the most…how gorgeous upstate New York and western Massachusetts is! The landscape is beautiful with rolling hills, tall trees and cool evenings.
Anyone ever been? I’d like to go back in the fall when the leaves are changing colors.
Is anyone else in the midst of the end of school year craziness?
I feel like everyday is just a race from one activity or practice to another! My kid’s last day of school is Thursday. 🥳 Hopefully, everyone sleeps in on Friday!
Hope everyone has a great last week of school…and survives the chaos!
OMG…as a kid my sister and I would have been all over this party! Our Barbie collection was pretty massive. We had the convertible, the kitchen set, horse and stable and so many clothes they could accessorize for every possible event!
To say I was a Barbie girl was an understatement…I was a Barbie fanatic! 😉
Our Life is Better in Pink party is an ode to everything Barbie! 🩷 However, what I’m most excited about for this party are the pictures I found of Barbie on the Mattel website. Barbie is a career girl, and I love the positivity it promotes to girls about being strong, independent women!

Say goodbye to ordinary sleepovers and hello to an enchanting adventure with Austin slumber party tent rentals.
Hey y'all it's been a bit. I got back into town late on Monday and was immediately hit with the worst allergies! So it's been a juggling act of trying to catch up with everything from when I was gone to listening to my body and resting.
I read this just before I went out of town, and it's a good one!
Just the Nicest Couple had me on the edge of my seat! Thrillers and suspense stories generally aren’t my cup of tea, and I definitely can’t handle anything dark, scary or gruesome right before bed. However, this book had just the right amount of suspense to have me wanting to read just one more chapter to the point I was staying up way too late!
I also very much enjoyed the format of this novel - it was a three person narrative so you had the chance to see the story from three different perspectives. And another interesting feature, one of the main characters (at least I’d consider him a main character) isn’t one of the narratives.
Just the Nicest Couple explores family and loyalty, and how far we’ll go to protect our loved ones from two different perspectives. And the twists…oh my gosh, I did not predict this ending. It’s an easy, fast read because it makes you want more!
See you on Tuesday! Happy Mother's Day! ❤️
I nearly passed out when Harper came home last week and announced there were only 16 days of school left!
What? Where did this year go? And how are we already in May?
So let’s talk about summer plans for kids - anything that keeps the kids busy and the moms sane!
My kids are doing a week at Wet & Wild Camp in Austin. Keller has done this camp for the previous few summers and loved it. This will be Harper’s first time, but she was so excited she is finally old enough to go! They load the kids on a bus and take them on various field trips, water adventures and activities around Austin.
They are also signed up for a week at - a sleepaway camp in Navasota. Again, it will be Harper’s first time, but she has a bunch of friends going so hopefully that will make her a little more comfortable. Keller will be there the same week so that should also help.
Alright moms, I need some help with July and August. What are your kids doing?
I’ve got to find a few things so I don’t hear “mom” 1,345,678,986 times each day! Ok, maybe a slight exaggeration, but you know what I mean. 🤪
Give me all the summer camp ideas!

Does anyone else use the new year as a time to clean out and organize their home? I recently read about several January Cleaning Challenges and home purges that people are doing. I always feel like the new year is a time to re-set and get organized. I recently cleaned out my pantry. I should have taken a before picture because you could barely even step inside! To say it had gotten a little out of control is an understatement! It felt a little overwhelming at first, but I just started with the top shelf and worked my way down. For the items on the top two shelves, if we hadn't used them in 2 years, they went to the donate pile! I found we had 2 salad spinners...that's how crazy this pantry was. When I got to the actual food and seasonings shelves, it was just a matter of checking for expiration dates. I'm not proud of this, but I found something that expired in 2016 in our pantry! What's the oldest expired item you've found? #thebirthdayconcierge #januarycleanout #pantrycleanout #homegoals #sofreshandsoclean #pantryorganization #januarypurge #organizedhome #pantryorganization #pantry #sofreshandsocleanclean #2024organization #2024cleanout
