Don’t you love this colorful balloon banner? Design Mom made one for her daughter’s first birthday and shares the how-to for making one yourself here. There are so many ways you could use this. Birthday parties, of course, but other events like bridal and baby showers, weddings, school carnivals, and high school graduations would be extra festive with a balloon banner, too. Wouldn’t this look great using school colors?
Cream Pie on a Stick
Hello, warm weather! Around here, hot days = popsicles. A box of store-bought fudgsicles are great, but if you want something special check out these chocolate cream pie pops. These are pudding pops and then some, with chunks of graham cracker crust and a creamy whipped topping/cream cheese layer. As you can see, ours aren’t exactly pretty, but Will sure looks happy. He pronounced them “very, very good.”
After you try these, check out the Strawberry Shortcake Popsicles here. Or how about these Chocolate and Salted Caramel Pudding Pops? Okay, somebody stop me. But I think it’s going to be a great summer.

The Power of Words
This video made me cry. Granted, I cry ridiculously easily. (Really, is there anything sadder than sobbing behind 3-D glasses at the end of Toy Story 3?) But something about this short video touched a nerve.
I want to be just like the young woman who helps the blind man. I don’t want to give away the ending, but let’s just say that this little gem has meaning on more than one level. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
