Cheese and pineapple on sticks, bin bag witch costumes, gold tinsel and Cadburys ‘how do you eat yours’ cream egg campaign. It’s safe to say occasions have come along since my childhood.

Of course, my parents didn’t have Pinterest, Instagram or Photoshop back in the 80s and 90s, but they still made an effort to create magic. From building a miniature replica of our home just so Santa could be photographed on the roof, to writing letters from the Easter bunny….. something in my early years stuck with me and now, with all this added technology, I can’t help but go OTT with special occasions.

I’m a creative…. nappy changing, school running, coffee making and play dating just don’t quite scratch that itch for me. So, I channel it into creating memories for my children. Birthday parties with extravagant themes, Easter baskets with matching hessian bows, Christmas with, well, bells on! You get the point. The problem is, Pinterest doesn’t reply, Instagram can’t give constructive feedback or ego boosting affirmation and Facebook doesn’t ask ‘does anyone know where can I get Halloween decorations for the whole house on a budget?’……… until now!

Yep, I’ve bored my family and friends long enough with my plans and themes, it’s time to find my tribe! And I know they’re out there, liking images of message in a bottle party invites, searching the hashtag ‘hungry caterpillar party’ and finding deals on Xmas Eve box fillers….. so it’s about time we all had a place to hang out together! A perfectly coordinated place with beautiful attention to detail and cake….. lots of cake!
