Welcome to the musings of a self-confessed laugh junkie! I love to laugh. Sometimes I have even been known to cackle and snort when laughing, or made myself laugh so much my stomach hurt! There is nothing like spending time with our family and friends and sharing laughter.

After several years of throwing birthday parties, get-together, and leading scout/brownie meetings, I discovered that I have a knack and a love of throwing parties. You always hear that you should do what you love. So, on my downward slide to 40, I finally figured out what I wanted to be as a grown-up! I started a party planning business and online party store, www.helpmeparty.com. I offer unique, distinctive party supplies and favors at reasonable prices. I want everyone to be able to throw a party even Martha would be proud of.

I've found that a lot of people don't have the time or know how to find great party ideas. That's why I started this blog - to gather and share great party themes, tips and ideas. So come share a laugh with me as we get ready for the most awesome party of all - Life!
