Share Your Wisdom

This blog is dedicated to acquiring tips and tricks from REAL WOMEN that have become experts in making the events of their lives extraordinary. This wisdom will be shared in the event-planning book I am writing called "Your Life and Times."

You're an event planner and probably don't even realize it! Did you ever direct your high school play or organize a school dance; plan a baby shower for your college roommate; volunteer to host the 3rd grade class Valentine's Day party; have a birthday party for your kids; organize a fundraiser for a sick friend; plan a company golf outing; serve as a scout leader or a Sunday School teacher; host a block party for the neighborhood; plan your parent's 50th wedding anniversary? If so, your experiences and your voice is what will make this book useful, unique and best of all fun to read.

Time-savers, planning tips, favorite websites, funny stories, or how you averted disaster on a special day - anything goes! But please only post what you are willing to share with the world - it could end up in the book!

SPRING CELEBRATIONS - TIP #3 - DECORATIONS

The arrival of Spring brings with it many reasons to celebrate, and there’s no better way than by opening your home to family and friends. Whether it’s a dessert party after a spring recital, a Mother-Daughter tea in honor of Mother’s Day, or a brunch after the Saturday morning game, you can create great memories with the people you care about by following a few simple tips:

Decorations – Flowers are the obvious choice for bringing life and color into a room during this season. Trim some daffodil stems or tulips from your flower beds and place them in a vase for an instant centerpiece. Purchase a few perennials (pansies are a great choice), and transplant them into inexpensive clay pots with a little potting soil and scatter them around the room - and don’t forget to transfer them to the great outdoors when the party’s over!

Creating a memorable event doesn’t have to cost a lot of money, and doesn’t have to take a lot of time. With a little advance planning, you will be able to relax and have fun – and if you’re having fun, your guests will, too.
