Recently I was part of a motherhood interview series by Little Light Design Collective. A group of moms, who also are bloggers, participated by answering a set of questions. Answering some of the questions was a little harder than I expected. It was tough to be so honest about my motherhood experiences and remove certain walls to […]

If you follow Sparrow Soirées on Facebook or Instagram, you might have seen pictures of a party-in-a-box I put together for Domino Beauty Boutique’s recent giveaway. It was incredibly easy to do and well under a $75, including the bin, to put together. I’ve found over time it’s nice to have a bin stocked with basics so I’m always […]

Hello friends! I realize it’s been a month since my last post. I’m still here. It was a much-needed hiatus – and more on it all at another time. Today is all about celebration: it’s our 9-year anniversary to be exact! It has been an incredible journey and I cannot imagine spending a second of it without […]

I cannot believe school starts in twelve days (?!) – and some kids have already started! Thankfully I have a fairly short shopping list but there’s still the pressure to tackle it ASAP since Lil Man’s preschool summer session is winding down. Aside from the crowds and finding time to do it, I don’t mind […]

A good friend of mine lives far away – 4,826 miles city-to-city to be exact. It’s a bit too far to see if she’s available next Sunday morning for brunch at a local cafe so we can catch-up on life’s happenings. For me, there’s something about sitting down for brunch with a friend that makes […]

I once read the best way to see if your guest room is truly ready for a visitor is to spend a few nights in it. Why? In theory you’d see what your visitor would experience during his or her stay. It’s a nice thought, but if you’re like me, you may not have an official guest room. The space might double as an office, […]

Do you know a dad-to-be (or a brand new dad)? Help him celebrate the milestone by giving him a fun and meaningful gift on Father’s Day. I realize a bath toy might seem odd, but bath-time is a great way for Dad to bond with Baby. So without further ado: pick one or two of the below toys (grab the […]

Alright Gang. It’s time to think outside the tie box this Father’s Day. Here are a few ideas to step up your game plan for Dad (or Grandpa, or Uncle Bob…). Get him out of the house! Put tickets in this year’s card for his favorite summer sport, concert, or send him with a group of fellow dads […]

She’s the one fellow mothers look at with understanding. We remember the joys and frustrations having a new baby brings to everyday life. She’s the one, whether it’s her first child or third, that we need to take a moment and smile at her, sincerely congratulating her, for being a fabulous woman. image // gift idea: matching […]

Don’t let the title fool you. The Daydreamer is far from lazy. She has big dreams but has her feet firmly planted in the ground. She juggles activities, schedules and is honest about buying the cupcakes (instead of baking them). In it all though she reminds us it’s important to be present and each moment is a memory in the making. […]
