Let's Party! + A Giveaway

Monday, August 6, 2018

Hey, Hey Guys!
Linking up with The Blended Blog today for their monthly Ask Series.
Make sure you head to TBB for a super special announcement today!!!! ;)
And then come back here and let me know what you think!


1. Favorite birthday party as a child?
Hands down that has to be the surprise party my parents threw for me when I was in 4th grade!
We went out to dinner and then returned home and they walked me into our back room to open my present.
I opened the door and there was about 15-20 of my girl friends in there yelling surprise!
Even my "boyfriend" was there! lol!
It was the best!
And then they all spent the night!
We did "makeovers", danced, watched movies, and just had a great time.

2. Do you like to entertain? Yes or No?
Absolutely!
I can't wait for our home remodel to be finished so I can start hosting parties again!

3. What kind of parties are your favorite?
I love a good theme!
So whatever the theme is, I like to dress the part, make all the corresponding food and drink, and decorate accordingly :)
Mic and I have even made specialty cocktails that go along with the event we are hosting.

4. Big or small parties?
I think I would have to say BIG!
We have friends in many different circles, so I love bringing all of them together in one place.

5. Favorite thing to do at parties?
If it were completely up to me I would dance the entire time! lol!
But that isn't really the type of parties people have anymore, I would say...Laugh!
And make sure everyone else is having a good time!

6. Party food favorites?
This probably sounds silly, but I love veggie pizza!
For some reason I only seem to get it or make it for parties, so that has to be my favorite.

7. Favorite flavor of birthday cake?
I am a simpleton....Plain chocolate with white butter cream frosting.
I shy away from all the fancy flavors, fillings, etc.

8. Balloons? Yes or No?
I can take em' or leave em'.

9. Best party song?
There are so many!
But the first that comes to mind is...

10. Do you like to dance? Yes or No?
Look at #5 ;)
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to dance!!!!
That is one of my requirements for my birthday celebration this year!

Do you like to dance?
Host parties?
What is your favorite party food?
I would love to hear from you!!
