What I’ve been up to!

The Texas heat has driven me indoors! I am counting the days until I can feel the first fall breeze! In the meantime, I design upstairs in my office wearing a swimsuit or cotton dress with my hair in a ponytail when my little ones go down for their mid afternoon naps. I’m a little anxious for school to start. What can I say? It’s been a long hot summer. Fourteenth day in a row over 100 here actually. Not that any one is counting.Here is what I’ve come up with. You’ll notice my midsummer’s dream of fall in some of them…

My Mr. Sunshine’s Beach Party!

It’s Birthday season here in the Lewis home! All my sweeties have summer birthdays and so we are in full-swing celebration mode! After Boston’s Safari Adventure a few weeks ago with the whole family in Utah, I knew we needed to do something special for Ethan! My Mr. Sunshine loves everything that has to do with the beach and daily asks me to teach him how to surf! (I wish I knew!) In honor of this and having four years of Mr. Sunshine on this earth, I decided to hold a Beach Birthday party at our home here in Texas! Here are the photos from the event, as well as a little slideshow of the little wet guests that attended!

Morning Melon Meet and Greet for the Neighborhood or Family Reunion

And it is that time again to start planning on a family reunion or a neighborhood get together! SO…to help you make this summer easy-peazy, I designed this invitation. I love, love, love Charlie Harper; so I had to design a invitation that was inspired by his raccoon works. The raccoon was my favorite animal as a kid! And any kid is sure to be wearing a mask of melon after this party!
