Party Savvy: Major League Celebration

Baseball Party - Collage 1

I loved working on this party. Charming in its details - like the black and white photos of famous ballplayers turned into a birthday banner - this outdoor fete is very easy to execute and requires little work on the parents part. If you don't feel like making your own crackerjacks, feel free to buy the boxed variety instead, and no one will cry foul when you offer up hot dogs and hero sandwiches to your guests.

My boys were so envious that neither of them have a summer birthday when they saw me putting this together. I think we may have to have a baseball themed party just for fun, at some point, don't you agree?

Have you ever thrown an outdoor sports themed party? What did the kids like best?

For all the details head on over to SavvyMom.

My Summer Sidekick Rob and I are not gadget people, and aside from the basic technological items like televisions, computers and smartphones, we keep a pretty modest home when it comes to having the latest gizmos and gadgets.

This little galvanized smoking machine is the key to successful charcoal barbecuing. If you can do it on your own, without one, you are my hero. Since I'm not looking to make my life any more complicated, I've decided to ditch the charcoal-and-lighter-fluid flare ups of my youth, and stick to the...

Happy Hour Without intending to, Rob and I have a summer thing when it comes to watching TV; we pick a show we've never watched before, and devour however many seasons exist by consuming several episodes at a time, while lounging around lazily once the kids settle for the night. In the summer of 2010 we made it through five complete seasons of Friday Night Lights. Texas wasn't even on my radar then, and high school football was far away from my idea of fun, but now I want to know more about both. To this day, I think it's probably the best show I've ever watched, and I'd be lying if I didn't admit to feeling verklempt when the fifth season ended. Oh, and when I grow up I totally want to be Tami Taylor. Last summer it was all about How I Met Your Mother. I have no idea how...
