Ab out t he Ma g azine Carousel Party is a baby and kids lifestyle magazine that focuses on life’s sweetest “celebrations”. We look to inspire with the latest trends in fashion and parties by featuring amazing parties, the newest trends in tabletop confections, and ideas for celebrating all the sweetest moments that happen in your child’s life.
A n ot e f r o m t h e E d i tor Summer has finally come and and gone and it is hard to believe that school is back in session and we are getting near the holiday season! We are sad that summer has passed but look forward to what the rest of the year holds and are excited for Fall! In this issue you will find some back to school inspiration, some end of summer ideas, and of course the most anticipated sport of the year...Football Season is here! We hope you love what you see! May your Labor Day weekend be filled with joyful memories and you savor the last bit of summer until next year!

Photographe r
Married for almost 20 years, w/o kids until we adopted a super awesome sibling group 3 years ago (currently 9,7,5,3). My heart beats to tell stories through pictures. I love to create an atmosphere that is unexpected, dreamy and magical. Something to look back on and smile from the memory of that frozen moment in time.

Scare School Monter Party By M i c h e l l e ’ s Pa rt y pl a n i t I started with a “blackboard” backdrop featuring our favorite one-eyed monster as a focal point for the dessert table. I filled jars with color coordinated candy I had in my candy stash and added Sulley and my personal favorite monster, George Sanderson. I made Sulley popcorn balls, chocolate covered Squishy oreos, chocolate covered Mike oreos and Mike cereal treats. Theresa of Cookies by Tree made her amazing Mike and Monsters logo sugar cookies. I picked up the adorable cake at Sam’s Club, it was only $17 and delicious! I made eye ball stickers, straw flags, favor bag toppers for the Monsters University Cheez-Its, favor bag toppers for the goody bags, favor tags, cupcake toppers and tent cards along with the welcome sign and invitation. I decorated lime green paper bags with the bag toppers I made with my Cricut and tagged them with a Monster ID card. Because it’s back-to-school season, I was able to get fantastic deals on party favors. My personal favorite party favor was the Mike and Sulley soaps Angelique of Favors by Angelique sent me.
