Cinco de Mayo Fiesta Ideas

Everyone loves a good Cinco de Mayo fiesta, and even though we usually end up just eating some guac and drinking margs out of our awesome Dollar Tree cactus glasses (see below), it's always a great time. Last year Dustin even wore a fake mustache to dinner! I wanted to pull some of my favorite ideas together in case you are playing hostess.

First things first, you need some fabulous party favors! Check out our fun Tiny Boxes of Fiesta Character!

Last summer, we had a fun family fiesta and my margarita glasses I scored for $1 a piece are always a hit - I saw them at our local Dollar Tree last week! The other fun cups are Oh Joy! for Target and dishes are MacKenzie Child's.

Love this $5 set of printables from happythought - check it out because the pack comes with a lot!

I love the simplicity of this pink and orange table - the pink marg salt is the best part!

If you feel like getting crafty this weekend, these mini cactus pinatas from Oh Happy Day are adorable!

If the thought of handmade pinatas scares you, these cactus balloons are equally fun!

Time to fiesta! Checking out these fun ideas makes me want to buy some cactus balloons and have a mini party on my back patio...

Just for the festive spirit, here's a lovely college throw back picture to Dustin and I dressing up (he's a Mexican soccer player and I'm rocking the moo moo my cousin gave me for her wedding):

Lots of Love,

Weekend Getaway: Phoenix!

Wanted to do a quick recap of the amazing weekend we had with my cousin Lacy and her family in Phoenix! We ate lots of fabulous food and had a great time bonding with her adorable daughters, Lillie and Poppy:

Baby Poppy = Happiest Baby Ever!

Because every 4 year old needs to swim in a mermaid tail!

Food wise, here are the fabulous places we ate at in case you want some yummy recommendations next time you are in the area:

Saturday morning we started off the trip right by walking up to a favorite: La Grande Orange...

Delicious breakfast options, pizzeria for later and amazing baked goods. My mom and I also scored some adorable and great smelling candles from their gift area.

While babysitting Poppy, my mom and I walked up to a great little place called Postino and had a great afternoon chit chat...

Bruschetta is incredible and they have $5 wine before 5pm! Seriously doesn't get any better and our date couldn't have been any cuter.

Saturday night we headed over to the Arcadia Yacht Club - lobster pasta is delicious!

Sunday brunch was at the perfect, quaint spot: The Henry! We recommend reservations, but Lillie kept us pretty entertained during the long wait outside on the fun patio...

Sunday evening we went for some much needed margaritas at Mexx 32 and Monday we finished our food adventure at a family favorite, Chelsea's kitchen...

It was a great weekend and Lacy and Ryan were excellent hosts and tour guides! I'm so sad it's over and can't wait to head there again. Always love a good family trip!

These two were instant buds! So adorable.

Lots of love,
