The Stella Theme Birthday Party

Stella's 3rd Birthday is fast approaching and the pressure of planning the party had already set in. I still have a fews years left that I can meander around the landmines of an all-Barbie Birthday party. That I can talk her out of, but in the end I want her to choose her party theme and sometimes I just need a thread of an idea. In the past from Lila words like, 'Pink & polka dots' or 'everybody in costumes' have been helpful. Stella's inspiration words are truly inspired and for three weeks they have not swayed, even her word order is steadfast. Me- 'Stella, what do you want to do for your Birthday Party?'.  Stella- 'Cake. Pinata. Trophies. Music. Cheese. Goodie Bags.'

She knows what she wants. Always.

So here comes The 'Cake. Pinata. Trophies. Music. Cheese. Goodie Bags. Party'.

Happy Valentine's Day from My Love Bugs

TECHTASTIC} Super Bowl Apps

 

I grew up with football. My father hosted The Tom Osborne Show (Coach of the Nebraska Huskers) and his TV call name was 'Fearless Dan'. My brother, sister and I spent every Saturday at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. Ahhhh, the smell of the turf, the sea of red, the roar of the crowd, the hot dogs, the nachos, the Pepsi- so many good memories. And now I'm a Creative Director in Advertising. So the Super Bowl is the culmination of two of my passions. I like to celebrate it with friends, but not too many friends (then you can't hear the commercials) and tons of good bar food including our famous Nebraska Queso Dip. 

Here are some Apps to help make your Super Bowl party seamless. Merry Super Bowl!

ADBOWL: Links to TouTubevideos of the commercials and allows you to rank them on a five-star scale. Results are posted later on AdBowl.com. 

PARTY WHISTLE: When the ref misses the call, call it yourself. You can blow your own whistle on your mobile phone. You just blow into the microphone. Free for iPhone.

SEAMLESS FOOD DELIVERY: This culonary app allows you to place orders for delivery or takeout with more than 7,500 restaurants in 35 cities. Free.
