Blah, Blah, Blah. This is how this wife feels. For those of you basking in warm sun, how lucky. For the rest of us soaking up the reflection off of the mounds of snow, join me in a big loud BLAH!

Winter is beautiful, so clean and so WHITE! However, after so long, it really starts to rub me the wrong way. My mittens are no longer a fashionable accessory, they have become a pain (constantly searching for a missing one), my scarf once accenting the color of my jacket is scratchy and annoying around my face, the constant “bundling” is beginning to make me weary and my feet, never exposed due to cold temps are beginning to beg for peep toe heels!

Ahhh, the winter blah’s! So what to do, what to do….

WHAT ANY WIFE WOULD DO! Throw a “Winter BLAH Party”!

Oh the excitement of many merry friends joining you in your home for a gathering to celebrate the winter blah’s!

So, the question is, how do you throw a “WINTER Blah Party”? EASY! Invite your friends over for a fun-filled snow themed event! Make the snow FUN again!

I ADORE these FUN WINTER PARTY invites from Polka Dot Designs! The Bright Colors make it even more festive and add a splash of HAPPINESS for a “blah” party! Plus think of the endless creative ideas you could spin-off of this invite alone!

You could take another approach with your invites and do something a little more traditional. These invites, also at Polka Dot Designs are sooooo cute!

Don’t they make you want to bust out your favorite winter blanket and a big old mug of Hot Cocoa!?! Plus, how easy is your winter party theme, ALL adorable snowmen!

Now that the fans have gone home and the food has been cleared, it is time for this little wife to put her feet up and RELAX! Parties are a lot of wife fun, but a ton of wife work! :)

So let us begin with the MENU!   Honey BBQ Roasted Pork Loin, Taco Dip (the easiest recipe ever), BBQ Little Weenies, Bacon-Wrapped Little Weenies, Deviled Eggs, Spinach & Bacon Deviled Eggs, “Most-Requested” Bread Bowl Spinach Dip, Cheesy Rotel Meat Dip, Chocolate Fondue (with marshmallows), Puppy Chow, Chocolate Chip Dip and more, and more and more! The list goes on forever!

The Party FAVORS: Football Noisemakers and of course Pom Pom’s!

Party DECOR: Many of the purchased items came from Oriental Trading & Hobby Lobby. A few of the homemade items, were simple purchases with a few added details. Food labels were made with scarpbooking paper supplies and stickers! However, the background paper actually felt like a real football (very cute wifey detail)!

And now for the pictures of all the fun wifey Superbowl Party details!Superbowl Party 09

BRRRRRR….this wife is COLD!!!! January 15, 2009

For some wives, they will never to have experience what is like to scoop snow, to shovel sidewalks, to drive on icy roads or bundle up when it is cold outside!  Nor will they ever drive through their local coffee shop, roll down their window and have it freeze open once it is rolled down. This wife is playing no joke, on the way to the little wife job this morning the temp was a whopping -24 and the local weather team is hopeful we will reach a high  of -5 degrees!

So, what is a wife to do in these ridiculous frigid conditions? Why shop on the Internet of course in preparation for the BIG SUPERBOWL SUNDAY FOOTBALL PARTY!

More PARTY PLANNING to come….

 

The Pampered “WIFE” October 10, 2008

I recently did a very “wife” thing! I threw a party at my home! I enjoyed it for many reasons. For starters, what better way to spend an entire evening than with a group of women who are all inspiring and good friends; not to mention how great it was to showcase the new “home” all put together with husband and wife touches! It was also great because I finally had a chance to use all those great wedding gifts (wine glasses, party serving platters, chip & dip dishes, and more)!

I was the hostess of a Pampered Chef party! It was a “cooking show” party and I have to tell you it was great! Not only did the other wives and I have some GREAT wife bonding, but we learned new recipes, we cooked, we snacked, we told stories and we were introduced to some AMAZING cooking tools and accessories!

Hosting a party may not be something for you, but every wife loves to browse! So I send you to the Pampered Chef online shop! They have adorable dishware, cute cooking tools and tons of cookbooks! Perfect timing for some pre-holiday shopping for friends and family!
