TBB ASKS: August: The Party Edition!

It seems as though it's only ever TBB Asks that gets me out of my blogging hiatus these days!!  I am enjoying the dog days of summer and am to the point where I'm dreading Back to School now.  Dreading Back to School time doesn't mean I'm not excited to go and start the year fresh, it just means I'll miss the carefree days of summer vacation...the schedule of no schedule at all, the lazy days of sitting in the sunshine, reading for hours on end, etc.

But I'm pumped to dip my toe back in the blogging pool today with TBB Asks and am excited to share a big announcement with you all!!

Our Blended Blog family is growing!  We've added two more ladies to our tribe!  Kellyann, who blogs over at The Blonde's Shopping Bag and Vanessa from X-tremely V !  We are so excited to have these ladies on board with us!!  Head on over to The Blended Blog to get to know them both!

It's August and that means it's The TBB ASKS: THE PARTY EDITION!! 

So Let's get this party started!!

 If you asked my mom, she's say anytime we hang out as a family it's a party!  But thinking back, I can't remember the last time I went to a party PARTY!  Maybe a wedding over a year a go!?!  But I'm gonna do my best to get in party mode and answer today questions...then who knows? Maybe I'll be inspired to plan a party!!

1. Favorite Birthday Party as a Child

Oddly enough my favorite birthday party as a child was actually cancelled.  I'm a February baby and there was a snowstorm on the day of my party.  We ended up cancelling the party but it must've been on the later side because one of my best friends and my favorite teacher still showed up!!!! It was so random and fabulous.  She drove all the way to my house in the snow.  And I just couldn't believe that my teacher was in my house!!  It was the best....I will never forget it.  I wish I had pictures of the day...I know my mom most in her old photo albums but the day is burned in my memory as one of my all time faves!

Not to long ago, my mom cleaned out her basement and made piles of things for all of us girls.  On of the things she found was my journal from third grade.  Every weekend we wrote a letter to our teacher telling her about our weekend, and she would write us back.  This was the same teacher who came to my party, so that memory immediately came rushing back. I loved looking at the things I wrote to here and that she wrote back.  She really was my favorite.   I looked her up on facebook, and she's exactly the way I remember her, minus the fact that she's cut off all her beautiful hair.  But I don't have the guts to friend request her.  I would be heartbroken if she said she didn't remember me!!  HA!!

2. Do you like to entertain?

Honestly, this is a hard one.  Because I'd say yes and no.  I do, but then by the night of the party, I find myself too stressed.  I've hosted small dinner parties and game nights here.  I'll take game nights over dinner any day!!

3/4. What kind of parties are your favorite? Big or small?

I like all kinds...for different occasions.  Small parties are fun when big parties are sometimes overwhelming...but a huge blow out can be tons of fun!!

5. Favorite Thing to do at Parties?

Eat, Drink, reminisce and dance...if there's dancing!!

6. Party Food Favorites?

All the apps!!  I could eat apps all the live long day.  I much rather prefer apps over a big meal!  That's probably true on the daily.  I'm not ashamed to say that, as a single girls, wine and cheese is sometimes dinner!!

7. Favorite Flavor of Birthday Cake.

It used to be chocolate as a kid, but now it's fun-fetti with fun-fetti frosting!  And yes, I know, I'm not a kid anymore!!  LOL  It's just so yummy!!  And these days it's cupcakes over a big cake!!

8. Balloons? 

Balloons are always a good idea!!!!

9. Best Party Song?  

This is easy...Blurred Lines by Robin Thicke

This song played at my cousin's wedding years ago and when it came on I was shocked to see my dad busting unforgettable moves to the song and singing every word. My sisters and I were in a bit of a shock actually!  After the shock wore off, we all joined my dad! 

10.  Do you like to dance?

YES!!  I don't do it well, but I enjoy it.  These days tho, my dancing mostly just consists of dance parties for one in my living room!!

 I hope everyone is enjoying the last weeks of Summer!!  Head on over to The Blended Blog to join the linky party, get to know our newest members and have some fun!!
