I have an announcement to make…
My adorable 9 year old daughter has decided that she would like to be referred to here on Butterscotch Lady by her nickname, “Baby Girl”. I have called her this for as long as I can remember. I think it started when I would tell her that no matter how old she was she would always be my baby girl. I kind of thought she would “outgrow” the nickname. I was even expecting the “Mommy, we have to talk…” discussion where she tells me that she is way too old be called such a babyish name, especially at school-in front of friends! But, alas, I guess she loves this nickname as much as I love whispering to her, “I love you Baby Girl, forever and always to the moon and back”.

Last year Baby Girl started a small tradition with a few close friends. She invited the girls and their American Girl Dolls to a Valentine’s Tea Party.

All set and ready for tea!
Tea sandwiches and my dear friend P.R.’s divine jam tarts.
Who doesn’t love a party favor?
This black dresser was a $15 garage sale find that I refinished and added new hardware.
Baby Girl and I went to Paper Source (Thanks for the gift card Miss N.!) today to pick up a few things for next week’s Valentine Hot Cocoa & Cupcake Party. It will be a busy week preparing! I have to admit, I am LOVING that Baby Girl likes to entertain as much as I do!
Until next time,
Butterscotch Lady
(The hubby and son are still undecided about their Blog monikers. Any suggestions?)

I like Nicole’s name for Paul (or “Cabana Boy,” as many of us affectionately call him during your parties!). Maybe “#1 Son” or “G-Man” for Grant?

Everything looks lovely! What a special Valentine’s tradition. ❤ Glad the holiday gift came in handy!!
You are so creative! What is inside your goodie bags?
Everything inside of the goodie bags came from Michael’s dollar bins. There was a notebook, ring, coasters and a mirror compact. They were all part of the same vintage looking collection. The girls LOVED the oversized rings!
