Birthdays are always fun celebrations at our house, and this week my family helped me celebrate my birthday in style in a variety of ways!

There is one tradition that is carried out no matter who’s birthday we are celebrating . . . a trip to our favorite restraunant, Mariano’s. My family has been going to this restraunant for over 18 years, and we ask for the same waiter every time, Angel.

My kids LOVE going for birthdays because you get to wear a sombrero while the waiters and watresses sing Feliz Cumpleanos. Our tradition is to always go with my parents and my brother (when he’s in town). We always have a great time, and I love traditions that I can share with family.

The sombrero was not the only celebration in style. I started my special day off with one of my favorite NEW Scribbles products, Plastic Party Cups. These aren’t just any party cups, these are BIRTHDAY party cups. And I love, love, love them! We have a whole new collection of cups with fun designs for any occasion.

Need a last-minute Christmas gift idea for friends or neighbors this season? Look no further: I have an easy, quick, cute idea for you!

This past Sunday my doorbell rang and sitting on my porch were SIX reindeer! They were six of the cutest reindeer I have ever seen. My kids were elated because these weren’t just any reindeer – these were IBC Root Beer reindeers. What kid (and for that matter what adult!) doesn’t like a nice cold root beer?

Pass on the cheer to a friend with a six-pack of IBC Reindeer Root Beers this year! All you need is some googly eyes and pipe cleaners. This is one of the easiest projects ever and they’re soooooo stinkin’ cute.
