Super Mario Bros Birthday Party

Super Mario Bros Birthday Party

What theme, what theme, what theme?  When contemplating which theme to have for my son’s 8th birthday party, we thought of many different options. My son proposed Captain Underpants.  After I explained to my son that mommy goes WAY too far into a theme to have a Captain Underpants party, we ultimately decided on Mario.  Evan and his dad like to play Mario games so the theme seemed appropriate.  Evan and Daddy helped me with all the Mario questions, and when it was said and done, we picked well!

How to make a citrus flower arrangement for your home

How to make a citrus flower arrangement for your home

It’s lime season at the Lam household which means lots of lime-aide, freshly squeezed lime to enhance our food, and yes, even limes in my flower arrangements!  We have an AMAZING cocktail tree in the backyard.  This tree has grafts of many citrus fruits in a single tree so you do not get a huge amount of each citrus when the season arrives.  We get Meyer lemons, grapefruits, limes, and mandarin oranges all in one tree! Cool, right?  If you live in a zone where you can grow citrus, I highly recommend this tree (I would say zone 7 or lower).  Now for the flower arrangement; you could create this arrangement with Meyer lemons, fruits that are a little more cold hardy (would do ok in zone 8).
