Bloggy Update..and a FIesta!!

Wowsers! My last blog post was close to 30 days ago! Sorry I have been a tini bit busy! With what you ask???

Here is a list of my reasons (excuses..lol).

1. My little guy (Julian) is on summer break. He and his sister(Izabella) have me running around here like a chicken without its head. The two of them together ALL day usually equals craziness at my house but I must admit..also alot of fun! I am enjoying watching them play and interact, love to see what they are talking about or what cartoon they are pretending to be in..or just have some fun outside! They are growing up so FAST that I am just trying to soak it all in!

2. We also decided to take a much needed mini vacay..nothing fancy! Just drove up north to visit my papa and take the kiddies to the beach for a couple days. Nothing better than some fun in the sun! It was so nice to just be and not think about work and my endless lists.

3. Super EXCITED about this! Ready??? (Drum Roll) The lovely Natalie Robles the President & Founder of CPN (the best Children’s Party network ever!!) asked me to co host the 1st CPN So Cal Meet Up and Fiesta. The fiesta will take place in old town Pasadena on the night of August 13th. Yep less than 30 days away! As you can imagine I am totally excited (ok..lets be real for a second..and a lot of bit nervous) to meet everyone! Especially the Special Guests, Jillian of Catch My Party (I love & adore her and the website), Carolyn at CHS Creative Productions (have you seen the gorgeous parties she styles??) Abigail from Paper and Cake ( a printable partyware genius) and of course all the other party chicas, bloggers, and crafty mamas I love! So grateful Miss Nat asked me to help. I was and am beyond honored! I am helping her organize and keep track of all the sponsors..who let me tell you have to be the SWEETEST sponsors ever! I can’t thank them enough for being so generous and not making me beg! Because I would..LOL just kidding..well kinda!

4. Yes...work..in between all this greatness I am still working on orders and brainstorming with Rose about new Halloween items..yes I know its July!

So you see..although I love this Tini Blog, it usually falls to the bottom of my list (remember the endless list). I know I promised this in January but shhhh..here I go again..

Dear Blog,

I heart you! I promise to blog more often (and not only about parties and work, but also about everything I love, things that make me smile, family, friends, and struggles). I promise to give you the love and time you deserve!

What about Rose you ask? Why does Miss. Rose not ever blog?? Well she told me she does not feel comfortable blogging..hmmmm. I respect that (I am still trying to twist her arm..lol). Anyhow, stay tunned I have a little something about Rose coming up this week!

Happy Blogging,

Claudia

P.S. If you would like me to email you the CPN Meet Up Sponsorship opportunities available..email me at claudia@tiniposh.com or if you live in So Cal and want to join the party click here! Also be sure to follow the CPN blog to get updates on future meet ups..a Memphis one is already in the works!

CPN Hostess of the week...OH MI DIOS!

Oh Mi Dios! It's official, the banner is up! I am the Hostess of the Week at CPN! Super Excited!! Who am I kidding!! I am SUPER nervous!!LOL!

I heart CPN! Natalie and her Fabulous team of party divas Kristy, Kori, Debbie, Chris and Kim have created the most wonderful place for all party fanatics (like me). I am obsessed I tell you!

When I put the kids down for a nap, in-between work, or late at night I have to get my CPN fix! It's very addicting..where else can you find a ton of AMAZING party photos and inspiration or the most talented, creative, and SUPPORTIVE women anywhere! Who speak my language??? and did I mention..super funny..they make me laugh on my gloomiest days! oh..and a time saver too!! No more searching the web (like a madwoman) for inspiration for the next shindig or when I need an answer on "Where do I buy mason jars?"..Yeah you get an answer right away!! There is always someone there to help!!

You see my dilemma I HEART it ALL!! I don't want to embarrass myself and/or network and get boooed from this happy little place (well not so little..I think it's over 500 members!!) ok shaking again!!

So if you are not busy Tuesday October 26th at 6:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)...come chat with me and the lovely ladies! It's bring your own Mar"tini" night wink wink! My hosting skills will be put to the test..I promise not to use too much of my crazy spanglish and will try to get quotes right (bad habit of saying them backwards) and will try and watch my typos!

So what do you say?? It will be fun! Subject of the night...Advice for us Newbies!! So it's a MUST for you my sister newbies..this is your chance to come ask these brilliant super talented creative women the secrets to their success! See you there!! (I hope)

Tootles,

Claudia

P.S. Can some of you BRILLIANT SUPER TALENTED CREATIVE WOMEN come too??? We need someone to answer the Q's!!
