Football, Family, and Sunday

Today was one of those significant, yet, uneventful days that I enjoy so much. How can it be both you ask? How can the day be important and unimportant at the same time? Well the day was definitely both for me. It was significant because it was a fantastic family day spent doing "Sunday stuff" together -- church, cooking, eating, homework, and yes, WATCHING FOOTBALL! Yet, each of those things may be considered uneventful if I were sharing the story of my day with someone.

Still, let's get to football, family, and Sunday. This combination makes for a great time to laugh, talk, play, and enjoy one another. As always, I suggest serving family favorites (whatever they may be) -- macaroni and cheese, spaghetti, fried chicken, hamburgers, etc. and have a blast. No flowers, centerpieces, linen covered tables, etc. needed. Realizing that days like today are just as important as a wedding, anniversary, or a reunion is what puts a smile on my face. I hope it puts a smile on yours as well!

Balloons, anyone?

Whoever said balloons are only for children's parties? Balloons are a great way to add to any celebration. They are especially wonderful for theme events such as a Mexican Fiesta. The look can be completed with multiple balloon colors -- red, orange, and yellow. Add food that supports the theme, in this case tacos and burritos, and you have one fabulous celebration on your hands.

Another great way to use balloons for your celebration is to have them artfully decorate an arched entryway, a buffet table, or even the restrooms that guests will use. Nothing is off limits! For your next party, throw balloons into the mix -- even the most casual setting will be amplified.
