Intro to my Inspro
HI! Welcome!
HI!! I’m Natalie!! I am so excited you came to read my first blog post → a simple introduction to ME and what (I think) this whole thing will be all about 🙂
I am a 33 ½ year old wife, daughter, and mom of 2. I am an authorized nuclear pharmacist and PharmD (sounds MUCH fancier than it is, I promise you!) 8am-4:30pm M-F. BUT, my true passions include event design, planning and execution (of anything!), themed-ANYTHING—you-name-it, and giving pretty much everything in my life a WOW-factor. I am diligent in making sure that anything with my name attached to it has some oomph!
I want to share these passions on my blog. These include (but obvi aren’t limited to) event planning and execution – for example, a mommy-and-me galentine brunch or baby “sprinkle.” Also, themes; like, every year I have a theme for my Christmas tree – the tree decorations, the wrapping paper, and the bows are all in sync. I know that MOST people will think this is absolutely ridiculously over-the-top/TOO FANCY/whatever, but it is fun for me to do and especially fun to look at!
The moment something clicked for me was after my daughter’s 1st birthday party, about 4 years ago. I spent (willingly) hours upon hours planning her first birthday party. The theme, food and drink, decor, invitations, timeline of events…everything. Every detail – I had so much fun thinking about every. SINGLE. detail! I didn’t realize until the end of the party that it was actually the best party I had ever been to, and it was for a 1 year old! Yes… I may have had some bias since it was my first baby’s first birthday, but I started hearing the same thing from other guests the days following the party! They couldn’t believe how perfect, cute, and detailed the party was. I wish I had better photos of it, but I didn’t realize I’d be writing this blog 4 years later. For me, it was about the planning and design process as much as it was about the actual party. And, even though it was almost 4 years ago, I remember it clear-as-day!
Since then, I’ve hosted countless events (now-annual Christmas party, baby showers, bridal showers, surprise birthday parties to name a few) and have been told that I should have a blog or do it as a full-time-job. And now, I am doing it! I am finally doing it! I hope you enjoy my posts and give you ideas, inspiration, and OOMPH for your own events, celebrations, or life in general!
ICING ON THE CAKE for me would be to plan and design an event for YOU. Contact me for a custom quote and I’d love to figure out a way to make people say OOMPH-LA-LA at your next event.
