So it’s almost fall…I can smell it in the air!  I actually can’t smell much because the princess has a cold.  Fortunately we live, at the moment, behind the school where my son attends first grade.  That makes it easier. The biggest thing going on around here is that I can actually blog! Yes, I no longer, due to the start of first grade, have two small children climbing on me, around me, and demanding all of my attention (sigh…I do miss it..just a little).  I now have some free time. 9-3 to be precise. My little princess, Aizza, who is 4 is as easy as pie and entertains herself every breathing, waking moment. Low-maint city.  She’s adorable, fun, and I can’t get enough of her.  I adore my son too, but let’s just say, he’s not a piece of cake…or pie, or whatever.  He is better these days now that he’s a “big boy.”

I am so excited about what’s to come.  I don’t actually know what it is, but I always feel like new, wonderful things are coming when I can smell that crisp air.  We are going to be moving to another castle, as my husband’s a builder (of castles and such), we just don’t know exactly where.  Cohasset, Scituate, NH, Boston?  This princess needs to be able to party (well, run the party COMPANY anyway), wherever she goes. So it has to be somewhere where people love to throw a serious party (oh, I guess that’s anywhere! Lucky me!)

I’m also very excited to be offering new items in my birthday party favor and gift shop!  We have gorgeous new felt tea sets and wings (see below) and will be adding TONS of fun things over the next few weeks and months.  We are even thinking about opening a whole new online website strictly dedicated to birthday party favors and gifts! Exciting!

Our Orange Vanilla Spice Cookies are about 3-1/2″ in diameter. They are made from a basic sugar cookie recipe, which is then flavored with fresh orange zest, vanilla beans, and a hint of cardamom. The royal icing has a dash of vanilla extract to bring together the wonderful flavors of the cookie.

Stay tuned for more delicious, fun themed birthday and favor cookies in “The Playful Cookie” section of our Bakery Boutique!

Ever notice how motherhood inspires a whole new language? Perhaps you recognize a few of these new parenting terms that haven’t quite made it into Webster’s.

ParentsConnect and Twittermoms are getting together for a Momfinitions contest! We all know parenting has its own language…


Here are some of my own Momfinitions:


Buttboobatoot-NOUN [but-BOOB-a-toot]: A developmental stage, around ages 5-8 years, in which a child (usually male) feels it necessary to discuss breasts (boobs), butts (behinds) and toots (flatulance). Also see Buttboobafart: Synonym. “Many children, during the developmental stage of buttboobatoot, can create frustration for parents, but this stage will begin subside after age 8- if you’re lucky.”


Jeckyllhydeability- NOUN [jeckyll-AND-hyde-ability]: Ones capability of turning from total angel to evil moster within the same 5 minute period. “Alexander continued to display jeckyllhydeability when he squeezed his sisters arm until the skin broke, took a second, and then proceeded to happily help make hot dogs for dinner.”


Dramafall – NOUN [drama-FALL]: 1. When a child dramatically colapses to the floor in order to get his or her parent’s attention. 2. The tears of manipulation that excrete from a child’s eyes when there is no real underlying anger or sadness.


Confiscashit – NOUN [confis-KAY-shit]: A mother’s act of taking something away from a child (a toy, a trip, etc) and then wishing more than anything that she hadn’t. “Mary used confiscashit in order to teach her son a lesson in cleaning up after himself (though the lesson was hers to be learned!)


Fictionary – (NOUN) [fik-SHIN-ary]: A resource written by a group of 4 year old children which is compiled of an abundance of eronius information, false word definitions, tall tales, and nonsense. “Eloise insisted that ‘poopsqueek’ was in the fictionary.”

My wonderful photographer, Thea Coughlin of Thea Coughlin Photography in Albany, NY, was featured recently in the August issue of Country Living Magazine! You’ll find Thea’s amazing photos of the Squam Art Workshops in Holderness, NH.  Thea is a spectacular photographer and it’s no wonder they chose her photos.  She has an amazing eye, and is as sweet as a peach!

We were so excited to be able to, once again, work with the Upstairs on the Square in Cambidge Mass for another Princess Sharon children’s birthday party event!  We hosted our new “Fantastical Fairy Garden Party,” a full out fairy garden explosion with beyond fanciful cupcakes, hand sewn elaborate costumes (fern-fairy skirts, tops and headpieces, and plush hand-sewn wings), twinkling wands, fairy house building, and tons of other garden fairy birthday fun!!  Check out the amazing photographs by Thea Coughlin Photography.  Thea is an amazing photographer who came from Albany NY to capture this amazing event! The Upstairs in the Square, as always, did a spectacular job setting the scene, prepping the delicious food, and making all of us here at Princess Sharon feel right at home!  All of the girls had a “fantastical” time in our colorful garden! Thank you once again, Carissa, at Designingfresh. Carissa provides spectacular boutique web design and is responsible for the Princess Sharon website.
