A Personal Journey Rooted in Experience

My passion for party planning didn’t happen overnight. Oh no. It's been a decades-long cultivation that started with my big, loving family of five kids and two fun parents who always made sure every birthday felt special.

Needless to say, during my formative years, I was involved in a lot of parties. (Did I mention we had five kids?) There was always a birthday party, holiday, or some kind of event going on at our house to fill it with laughter, friendly chatter, music, and friends. And it always seemed like somebody had a guitar. I'm serious. When they pulled out the guitar, we knew it was going to be a lonnnng night! 

I Started Early

My love for party planning and prep began when I was about 10. It started with a need to increase my allowance. Meaning, I helped around the house doing things like setting the table and preparing simple meals. Ragu spaghetti was my go-to meal and my brothers loved it!

Once I joined 4H, though, that's pretty much when things took off. I won several blue ribbons for my young culinary skills and expanded those skills through cooking classes. As I grew up, my role as a party planner expanded beyond my immediate family because I started working in food service. Waiting tables taught me a lot about menus, kitchens, and food safety, as well as some really good hospitality tips, a little crowd control, and most importantly, how to run a cocktail bar!

After that, I became the go-to person for organizing gatherings for the family and various groups I was part of. As I gained experience and owned my own business, I honed my organizing skills and developed creative solutions to challenges. I also discovered how to stretch and make budgets work. I developed my technical skills along the way, too, and I learned to develop websites like this one.

My event planning career led into a position at my local church. Whether it was a birthday party, a holiday gathering for the family, a seminar, or a charity fundraiser, I managed everything from coordinating announcements and setting up tables to putting out food, arranging decorations, and running the kitchen.

Each of these experiences added a new layer to my event-planning expertise and taught me valuable lessons about working with guests, time management, budgeting, and creative problem-solving. Through this, I developed a deep understanding of what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to planning an event.

So, what sets me apart and why should you trust me as your guide for at-home birthday party-planning advice? It comes down to my hands-on experience combined with a genuine love for creating moments of joy and a passion for helping others. Two very important things to me.

About the Site


I've shared about my party-planning journey, and touched on my online business journey which actually started way back in 2006 with SBI! (Solo Build It!). SBI! is a site-building platform that teaches you how to create an online business -- much more than just a website.

I based my very first site-business on a creative writing topic, something I was deeply passionate about. It was a risk, but I figured I would get whatever I could out of the experience. I was learning and if the business failed, it was okay.

Much to my delight, the site blossomed, garnering a significant amount of engagement and popularity. So much so that I received a lucrative offer to sell it. I did, and I became debt-free as a result.


SBI! Helped Me Become Debt-Free


Starting off in the online world with a boom like that was a thrill that can’t be put into words. I can honestly, wholeheartedly say that it was due to SBI!

How can I say that?

Because I had never built a site or a page before! I knew nothing when I started and SBI! taught me everything from the ground up. 

My digital journey didn’t stop with paying off all my debts, either.

Over time, I've honed my skills and expanded my understanding of various platforms like WordPress, Squarespace, GoDaddy, and Wix, using them for a variety of professional and personal projects.


It's Been 18 Years and I Still Love SBI!

Every platform has its own flavor and set of capabilities, but I find myself repeatedly drawn back to SBI!, which is why I recommend them to my readers. I recommend them through links on this page and throughout the site. If you click on one of the links I provide, I may earn a small commission if you purchase something through them. But it will not affect you and I only recommend them because I know and trust them. 

I've found that the SBI! toolkit seems to work in a uniquely efficient way for me, a way that helps me get more done in less time and with less effort than other site builders.

Maybe it's just me, but I find SBI! to be more robust and stable than other apps/platforms I've used, too. It's a reliable companion in the turbulent landscape of the internet for me.



Maybe you've heard of SBI!?

After all, it's been around since 1997. That's 27 years!

After all that time, it's remained the same friendly, supportive, family-like place it's always been. And some of the same friendly, helpful, supportive people are still there, their online businesses chugging along.

The things I really love about SBI! after all these years include the friendly people, of course!

I also love not having to think about security. The peace of mind I get from letting SBI! take care of the back end. Not worrying if I get stuck, because help is just a click away. Seriously though, the security infrastructure helps immensely in fending off hacking and phishing attacks which are, unfortunately, on the rise.

I find SBI feels much more solid, reassuring, and dependable to me than other platforms I've used. And that’s why I'm building BirthdayBullseye.com on it.

In fact, BirthdayBullseye.com is rooted in my love for helping others. I genuinely revel in creating joy and assisting people make their loved ones feel special.

This site is a reflection of my belief that relationships and celebrations can bring out the very best in all of us.

Stay Awhile


Back to site building: Since coming to know the benefits of SBI!, I feel a strong urge to share the power it holds, not just for me, but for anyone seeking a solid, secure, and user-friendly business-building platform.

Plus, SBI! clicks with the helper in me. I find them to be good peeps. 😊

At this point, I'm thinking if you've read this far, you may actually be interested in using SBI! for yourself.
