Are you hot for teacher? Wait, that sets a rather adult tone for this PG-rated post about end-of-the-year teacher gifts. Sorry about that. I also apologize if you have that song stuck in your head and start humming it a school pick up today. Awkward parent-teacher meeting in the maaaaaakinnnnnnng...
I enjoy easy drink recipes, quick and tasty appetizers, and simple party touches that all require very little effort. Does that make me sound lazy? I swear I’m not, but this parenting gig wears a girl down. Fatigue should never get in the way of adult play dates, so if you’re reading this blog from the prone position due to exhaustion, here’s a SIMPLE way to add a personal touch to your next get-together...
...CHOCOLATE ACCENTS!
I've lied to myself over and over again saying things like, "I can stop any time I want." Or, "It's not a party without them." Or, "I'll only have a few." Or, "It's a PMS craving that's out of my control. Please (begs husband) run to the store and grab me some!"
It's time to admit it. I'm an addict. I've been addicted to potato chips since my baby teeth came in.

But she soon discovered that in the good times or bad, mummies still need to play and nothing could keep her from exercising her penchant for dreaming up playful, and practical, party themes.
So get back on the party train and join the conga line. Party Mummy reveals tried and true tips for entertaining and shares a few of her personal “what NOT to do” disasters.
