New Years is a high stakes holiday. I remember someone telling me once that the way you spend your New Year’s Eve is the way you’ll spend your year, which for me usually means I’ll be constantly snacking, binge-watching Netflix and going to bed early. This year, however, I decided to throw a glam NYE party surrounded by food, friends and fun! Cheers to an … Continue reading erin duh’s nye 🍾
Ever since I decided to start making my costumes, the world of possibilities has seemed endless. I usually start planning the following year’s ensemble November 1st (or really October 28th if I’m being honest), and then force Craig into some male counterpart that he never wants to be, but does because he loves me. We’ve been a Tiffany’s box and gemologist (Craig thought he was … Continue reading toy story: halloween edition
My friend’s son experienced his first Easter this year, and to keep myself in the running for the title of Favorite Aunt, I threw a small Chicks & Bunnies party with enough food for 20 (it was all eaten btw). Here’s hoping his childhood will be filled with memories of the best parties at Aunt Erin’s 🙂 Food: A spread of hot and cold sandwiches, … Continue reading chicks & bunnies
I love Valentine’s Day…it’s a day devoted to celebrating candy, pink, hearts, glitter…basically all of my favorite things. This year I had a few girlfriends over to enjoy wine, cheese and crafts, and even though we said No Boys Allowed wed, we had some (very adorable) party crashers Food & Drink: Cheese boards & Wine pairings: Lauren Conrad’s party planning Bible “Celebrate” gives perfect … Continue reading galentine’s 💖
My love language is gifts, and nothing gives me greater pleasure than creating the perfect present for the fabulous people in my life. This year I wanted to create custom edible (or at least practical) gifts for each of my recipients, and using simple household items I created baskets or kits that were (almost) too pretty to eat. Munchie Basket: (FYI my cricut had a … Continue reading eat, drink, eat more and be merry
I love fall and all of the opportunities it provides to have theme parties. Usually I throw an annual pumpkin carving party, but this year my kitchen renovation stood in the way of planning that event, so I opted to have a Sunday Friendsgiving/Football potluck instead. It was a ton of fun, and a nice chance to get together before everyone had family obligations. Prior … Continue reading friends giving at friendsgiving
I love love love Halloween. It’s the perfect opportunity to make your boyfriend and dogs wear costumes of your choosing so that they coordinate with your own. I usually start planning my outfit November 1st, and try to top my diy one from the previous year. I’ve been my spirit animals (a flamingo and a unicorn), celebrities (Ke$ha and Vanna White), and my all time … Continue reading we all scream for halloween
There are two things I love– decorating for the holidays, and theme parties. Luckily the Christmas season allows ample opportunity for both! I forced my friends to don ugly sweaters and shove their faces with food, and they happily obliged for the blog.: Food: I made three dips, crab, cheese and spinach, and put out an assortment of chips, crackers, bread and of course veggie … Continue reading erin duhs the holidays
Thanksgiving is a great time to gather with friends and loved ones. Since I stopped eating meat this year, I was faced with the challenge of creating a vegetarian menu that would still make you hate yourself the next day. I invited some friends over for a fanciful feast, and they quickly discovered, like most events I throw, it was all for the blog. The … Continue reading a fabulous friendsgiving
For the past two years, I have been holding a pumpkin carving party prior to Halloween. It’s a great event for everyone to get together, eat, drink and show off their creative sides, AND you get to leave with your very own pumpkin. Here’s how I threw it together… Food: Chili bar with toppings: I recently went vegetarian, but am known for having delicious chili at my fall … Continue reading the pumpkin princess
