life according to three j. sisters - weddings, parties, lifestyle.
Get your game face ready {with a grateful heart, of course} for a fun game we call DIY Jenga Game of Gratitude. It’s a game the whole family can play together on Thanksgiving. Visit Momtastic to see how we added our own special, Thanksgiving-twist to the classic game.
The memories you will create with your family while ‘prepping’ the game, and listening to what your kids have to say, is reason enough to do it.

Winter has officially arrived in Colorado with chilly temps and snow. So, the fire is blazing, we’re sipping hot chocolate and the holiday season is finally on our minds {and less than 7 weeks away}. Whether you like it or not, the holiday season is here, and it’s time to start thinking about holiday parties, sparkly accessories, holiday shopping and holly music.
The Winter Open House we’re sharing with you today really lifts our holiday spirits and will give you great inspiration for your own beautiful, holiday party. The fabulous team at The Entertaining Shoppe {remember Kerri Cole and her amazing DIY book page wall} set up a classic open house that would make for a heart-warming family reunion or neighborhood gathering…and the good news is, once you set up the decorations for the party, you can leave the classic decorations up for the entire winter.
As Hayley from The Entertaining Shoppe said, ” The combination of Basics and hand-crafted party products make this an event to remember (and host) again and again.”
We love the creative way they incorporated pinecones throughout the decor and details {after all, pinecones hold a meaning of rebirth}, created a contemporary cocoa bar and signature cocktail bar and infused pops of red and white color in every room.
Some of our faves from the party that you can purchase include the Red Ribbon & Pinecone Swags {window ornaments}, Red Ribbon & Pinecone Garland and the Winter House Party Go To Kit.
Cheers to the upcoming holidays…and Pomegranate Champagne Punch. Yum.
The Entertaining Shoppe is a Denver-based company that makes party planning easier for everyone. It’s a one-stop-shoppe for the host/hostess looking to gather inspiration for party decor, menu tips and games, as well as purchase party basics such as glassware, napkins and straws and all the handmade and unique essentials for a special party. Some of our favorite parties their site features include a winter skate party, children’s birthdays, and baby and bridal showers.

Sully and Mike Wazowski made their way into our homes as our kids watched Monsters Inc., but these DIY Monsters Cups will make their way into our kids hands and hearts this Halloween with this easy, DIY tutorial. Our kiddos loved it!
You and your kiddos can make 1-eyed, 2-eyed and 3-eyed monster cups this Halloween with minimal supplies and lots of creativity. This would also make for a fun ‘favor’ to bring to school, or a creative activity for the kiddos at a Halloween party. Each cup comes pre-packaged for each child with pre-cut eyes, mouths, teeth, etc in a cellophane bag attached to a blue Solo cup.
