Summer Party Playdate with @HonestTea

This past weekend was filled with fun and celebration as my playgroup got together for a Summer Party Playdate at my home. It was an event I had been looking forward to for a while.

For one, it's always a great day when my mommy friends get together, and second, when these ladies get together there's always bound to be great conversation, food, and entertainment.

This party was different from our normal playdates in one way... there were giveaways!

In an effort to stay cool and offer a refreshing drink, Honest Tea offered my guests a variety of Honest Tea, Honest Ade and Honest Kids juice drinks. These drinks were absolutely delicious! Each guest was able to choose what they wanted.

Everyone was able to easily read which options contained caffeine, which had antioxidants, and they were able to clearly see the calorie content in each bottle.

And everything was so pretty all lined up! While I enjoyed all of the varieties, I really loved the Pomegranate Blue Honest Ade. It wasn't too sweet and was absolutely delicious.

Along with the drinks I also made some egg cups and had some yummy snacks from Nabisco for my guests to munch on including Ritz crackers, Ritz bits cheese bites, and Chips Ahoy cookies. My awesome friends also brought over some delicious goodies to snack on as well including fruit, cheese, muffins, and more!

One of the best things about having the ladies over is that I can always count on them to save me if I forget anything. I made the mistake of enjoying the last of the creamer the day before without realizing that we didnt' have any more in the fridge. A quick text and it was there!

I also don't have to worry about asking others to bring food as well. Just about every get together we have is pot luck style and I love it that way. We are never going to get the exact same meal and the food is always over abundant.

As the party came to an end we decided to raffle off a few awesome prizes to the ladies in attendance. Being blessed enough to meet so many amazing companies and stores means that I have the opportunity to share what I learn and what products I use with my mom's group. So being able to let them try out a few of the items I've tried out is exciting!

Here are a few of the items I gave away:

• Joovy StepTool
• Perplexus Original
• Willow Store Dryer Balls
• Kiddie Antics personalized beach pails
• Boogie Wipes kit
• Method detergent
• Honest Tea Patagonia Bag & grocery bags

And a few other odds and ends that a few of the ladies showed interest in! Everyone who came was able to leave with something in hand to take home. I cannot wait to hear what they thought about the products they took home!

We're already planning our September My Favorite Things Party and the girls are excited to find a great item to share with us! We've decided to go with a Child's Favorite Thing where we introduce items that our kids love or that we love to use with our kids.

By changing the theme of the party every few months we're able to still enjoy the concept (and have an excuse to get together) while learning about new products and companies we might not have had any idea about beforehand!

So stay tuned for my next get together! I'm sure there will be a few awesome recipes, ideas, and products that I'll learn about from my mom friends.

Kiddie Antics {The Perfect Party Favor}

We are officially ready for summer in this house! The weather is perfect, the water is warm, and the kids are geared up with their personalized beach sets from Kiddie Antics. These sets are perfect for that summer beach party you have planned.

Kiddie Antics, Inc. is a 28 year old party planning service, that is owned and operated by its original owner. Their long lasting success comes from their loyal and referred costumers, along with their large celebrity clientele.

Kiddie Antics offers a variety of personalized party favors for children ranging from infancy through 10 years old. A few of the party favors they offer are:

Musical tote bags - includes an echo-microphone, a personalized tambourine, maracas, and a trumpet. This is a great idea for music or karaoke themed parties. This bag was definitely my daughter's favorite. She was instantly happy and started rocking out as soon as she got the maracas in her hands. We might have to get these for her second birthday party for all of her friends!

Gumball Machines - varying from all different sports, to princess', pirate's, and of course, the traditional machine. Adding a little twist, they offer the choice of having gum balls or jellybeans in your machines! These are a great party favor for older children who are celebrating with you and your child.

Block pail sets - the perfect gift for children five and under. These block sets come complete with 33 blocks and a clock top. That way you can teach your child time and shapes. For more great toddler ideas check out the infant/toddler favors.

Castle Backpack Set - If you want a way to make your beach party even better when building those awesome sand castles, order a Castle Backpack Set! These backpacks have all the toys needed to build that award winning sand castle (see the picture at the bottom of the post). All of the beach fun items can be seen here.

Sip and Snack  Bottles - These bottles come apart to form a straw cup and snack cup that are easily portable for on the go sip and snack fun. Instead of grabbing your snack bag and sippy cup simply use the Sip and Snack Bottle while out and about. For more fun cups go here to check out their selection.

This is just a taste of what Kiddie Antics has to offer. All party favors are hand painted, to your party's theme. Each favor is also personalized with your party guests name. For added convenience they come individually wrapped (which is included in the listing price).

My kids absolutely LOVED What Kiddie Antics had to offer and enjoyed the products pictured.The personalization was the perfect touch to making these favors stand out from others we've purchased in the past. Each item can be personalized with your child's name or the names of the children attending your party.

When totaling up the amount I've spent on previous party favor bags for my kids that I've assembled myself it's come out to roughly $10-15 per child. If I would have known about Kiddie Antics before these parties I totally would have taken advantage of having them do all the work! Plus, as I mentioned before, they do all of the personalization and wrapping for me. 

We will definitely be using Kiddie Antics for our future parties.
