Life’s a Party! “What a wonderful book! Great, unusual ideas! Whoever thought to go ice block sledding on grass in the summer?! Jill Murphy Long gives all kinds of information: tidbits on history, culture, and nutrition. I’m turning 50 this year and have gotten all kinds of ideas for a blowout party. I really enjoy the “foodie” quotes and interesting party ideas presented in sidebars. Most ideas are simple and doable: move over Martha! I think this is the best book Long has written in the “Permission to Book Series” (including Permission to Nap and Permission to Play; and these are great, too!) I highly recommend this book; it would make a great gift for people who enjoy entertaining. Whether you are planning an informal small gathering of two or a large formal affair, you can glean all kinds of ideas to create an event to remember. Isn’t that what life is about? Remembering that life is meant to be savored. Life is a party, living in the moment and loving life. Buy it, share it, and enjoy it!”
