A Southern Accent

All of the hard work we put into decorations, planning and publicity finally came together Saturday evening with the successful Kidzu Dreams Gala. While the heavens opened up and released torrential rain upon our outside event, our strong tent withstood the wind and rain and the party went on. The theme of our event was Dreams. The gala raised money for the new Kidzu Children's Museum in Chapel Hill, so we imagined what children dream about and used it as inspiration for the party. We tried to tie everything into the bedtime/dream theme. I've not seen the totals from the art auction, but the live auction went really well!

Our Kidzu Gala is this weekend and we've got some fabulous art for the auction and the decorations are going to be out of this world! I can't wait to share pics from the event!

This is the type of cold that would knock Mike out for about a week. We mamas, just gotta keep trucking.  Plans are in full ...
