Sure, most of us are busily getting pictures with Santa and wrapping presents and general Christmas merriment, but let's take a minute to give the holiday table a proper nod.

I had the awesome privilege of designing a VIP lounge for the Widespread Panic concert at the Saint Augustine Amphitheatre in Florida last weekend. Mellow Mushroom sponsored the space and hired me to create a bohemian lounge in line with the restaurant and band's cool, chill, hippy vibe.

You guys, I am pretty excited to share with you what is going on this week. Let's start with pizza, where all good things should start. Mellow Mushroom (as most of the country knows) is an amazing pizza joint born out of the free-wheelin' hippy culture of the 70's.

I asked my almost 7 year-old what she wanted for her birthday. "I want a s'mores party," she said. That's my kid, thinking about the food first.

I am lucky to serve on the board of a fabulous group called FemCity Atlanta.  Our aim is to create authentic, supportive connections between forward-thinking, ambitious professional and business women.

I recently gathered some of my favorite women to share some of our favorite things. Enter "Favorite Things Party"! The rules were simple. 10 (plus me) women brought 10 of the one thing they cannot live without (that costs between $1-10).

I am thrilled to be featured on one of my favorite sites, Houzz, today! If you are not familiar with Houzz, it's is like Pinterest for home design (clouds open, angels descend...it's awesome).

I am thrilled to introduce our guest blogger today, the incredible Cati Teague of Cati Teague Photography. In addition to being a true creative soul and fun party guest (ask her to tell you the story about the time she super glued her eye shut), Cati is an amazing photographer.

My daughter is a girly girl. You may remember her princess party last year. That was her in her essence. So when she told me she had changed her mind and now, instead of a fairy birthday party, she wanted reptiles, I was taken aback but super excited for a break from pink frills.

My grandfather was a real cowboy in Oklahoma and always had a love of horses. We rode his horses and even competed with him in rodeos when we were young, so when the doc announced to us,”it’s a boy!” I knew a cowboy party would be in his future.

Last weekend we pulled out the stops for our favorite monkey…our 3 year old, Caleb!

I was hired to style an outdoor fireside party last weekend for newlyweds Jesse and Yvonne.

My little girl wanted nothing more than a princess party for her 5th birthday. Your wish is my command, m’lady!

My lil fella turned 1. He's not old enough to tell me what kind of party he wants and vintage robots make me swoon. Enter, Caleb's 1st Birthday Party! (Heads up:  It's intergalactic)
