We survived! Big City Moms’ famous New York City “Biggest Baby Shower Ever” event took place earlier this month, and it was an event not to be missed. I think it took our team (okay, maybe just me) an entire week to recover from the excitement and energy it took to be there. And let [...]
Yes, you heard it right; you can create party decorations that pop with just one color. I love the idea of single color parties, but I haven’t seen many out there. I am hoping to start a new trend with you right now. Here are a few simple guidelines. Pick a color your child loves. [...]
If you haven’t heard of the Blumebox, it’s this really neat shaped cardboard box that is absolutely perfect for creating floral centerpieces. But what I think I like most about Blumeboxes is how versatile and reusable they are. I have even used them with a plate on top as a cake stand. I like to [...]
We are deep in the trenches planning a much-asked-for get together for my daughter Lauren; she wants to have a lemonade stand playdate with some of her friends. Of course, I am like most mothers who have a hard time turning down their little ones’ requests, and I especially have a soft spot when she [...]
We’ve taken our show on the road, and we’re not stopping any time soon. So when Big City Moms traveled to Miami to share their one-of-a-kind event with Florida parents, we couldn’t resist a little fun in the sun plus the opportunity to introduce our website to new and future moms and dads.

Since she’s been around the block with the baby shower thing, we decided to break tradition and do something a little different. We honored her with an evening of beauty. Think hair styling, makeup application and brow shaping at [...]
Custom birthday parties are getting easier and easier to create with the growing popularity of “printable” parties. And I’m happy for it—it keeps me in party supplies! With the printable invitation, there is so much more you can do than just print, cut and send. Readily available scrapbook paper, sparkles and ribbon can turn an [...]
In Florida, we are already in the middle of strawberry season—one of my favorite times of year! I look forward to the day every year that Plant City, FL strawberries start showing up in the farmers market—they are the biggest, sweetest, juiciest strawberries you’ve ever had. But I’m betting your state has its own version [...]
Who says baby showers are only for baby #1 and need to be held during brunch? Celebrating the upcoming arrival of baby #2 or #3 is just as important as the first. All babies should be celebrated! Here is my most recent baby shower. We called it a “Baby Hour”—part baby shower, part happy hour. I [...]
