 If I said I was back, would you believe me? Blogging is complicated, and there are so many "get rich quick" blogging schemes that make it look like you are a lost cause if you are not currently earning money blogging. And why are you even blogging if you don't have multiple streams of income and entertainment. If you don't have a brand? I do have this website, but I do not have Instagram, Twitter, TikTok (you don't want to see me dance), or whatever is next.  Heck, I haven't even updated this since before the pandemic.

I am so thankful for you my readers, or what is left of you. I am so thankful you are reading this post.

I really love the multicolored pom-poms hanging from the ceiling. We are having Phoebe's party at a craft store so she and her girlfriends can make Princess bracelets and boxes so the decorations will be at a minimum. I will however have a yummy treat.

I am thinking...

I think I can make this cake, but darn it how much butter do you think I am going to need for all of that butter cream frosting. I mean seriously that is a lot of frosting.

So finally a wonderful montage of party ideas from homemade by jill:

So do you have any great rainbow birthday party ideas to share, something I should try? Talk to me.

I love that you are more concerned about the amount of butter you need for the frosting and not the 22 layers that thing has and each a different color! You, my friend, are one cool mama!
