Almost Sleepover Party
Beside Christmas and Easter, birthdays are my favorite time to have fun dreaming up great celebrations. Since my oldest’s last birthday, she has been begging for a sleepover birthday party, so we decided to host an “Almost Sleepover.” Here’s the wording on the invitation: You are invited to an Almost Sleepover Party to celebrate Posh Girl’s 6th Birthday Posh Date 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. Posh Place We started out with having everyone decorate white pillowcases with fabric markers.

Spotted: FOOD Eatup at Whiskey Cake
Ever wondered “What’s good around here?” Well, there’s an app for that called Foodspotting. As opposed to the standard research-and-read restaurant reviews, Foodspotting offers an out of the box and in-your-plate take on food recommendations. Wouldn’t it be fun to show up somewhere with a bunch of other spotters to “foodtograph” a popular “nommed” place?! Fortunately for you, Dallas is having its first Foodspotting Eatup on Tuesday, June 7 at Whiskey Cake in Plano. You get to have fun, takes some pics, eatup, drinkup and meetup with other foodies. We’ve set up an official Dallas Foodspotting Community on Meetup!

Some of these amazing deals are also available longer than 24 hours, which is a huge plus for me since I am not always looking for deals daily. Want to know…
