After a few years throwing my parties and posting them to Project Nursery, I noticed something. Not only did I love doing it, but I was actually pretty darn good at doing it! At the urging of countless friends and family members, specifically my husband who was all "Um, when are you going to turn this expensive hobby of yours into a business, honey?", Entertaining with Emily was born. So, who am I? I'm a wife, mom of three little munchkins for whom I love throwing parties. I've got a design background in interior architecture, from which I pull my love of symmetry, clean lines, and balance into everything I create. I never met a can of spray paint I didn't like, as I have an inherent need to alter everything...just a little bit. Entertaining with Emily features a comprehensive gallery of my own work, my blog with loads of new and fun party ideas, and now an Etsy shop where I am selling my own downloadable printable designs from some of my most pinned parties!

Every December, it’s become an annual tradition for my family to see a performance of The Nutcracker. My kids love it, and I look forward to it every year.

My son recently turned five, and for the past couple of years, he’s requested party themes that all have one thing in common—wheels! He has been obsessed with cars of every kind. You can imagine my surprise and delight this year when he requested a birthday theme in the opposite direction—SHARKS! […]
Every year at about this time, I make my family do the yearly “pilgrimage” to take our annual family photos for our holiday cards. The first few years of this endeavor were met with some major resistance by all family members (myself excluded, of course). But as the years have gone on, my family has moved past the resistance stage and moved into what I call the “acceptance stage” of this annual tradition, because they know it’s just not negotiable!

I’m almost too embarrassed to show the before pictures of what was going on in my kitchen, but I’m going to display them in this post, in hopes of helping the greater good! I’m sure that some of you out there can surely commiserate with me, but hopefully you’ll find this post inspirational if you have an art supply area of your own that needs a little overhaul! […]
