Each summer I throw a joint birthday party for my boys. Two years ago it was pirate-themed, last year it was all about superheros and this year I wanted something really simple just because of how busy we were going to be at the time. So, naturally, I decided on donuts. Because, what sane person…
I’m declaring “non-Pinteresty” a new word. Somebody call the Urban Dictionary guys. One of my goals for 2017 is to simplify and back off of social media a bit, and I don’t think I’m alone. It seems like moms (and women, in general) are reaching their limit with the fake facade presented on social media – it’s…
Hard to believe, but another year gone and another birthday party over with. Last year, we celebrated my two boys with a joint birthday party (since both boys’ birthdays are in June) that was pirate themed. This year, we had another joint party but this time we went with a superhero theme. I have so…
I’ve been trying to convince my daughter to do an art party for a couple of years now. She has always loved crafting (she is mine, after all), but up until this year she was too into princesses and mermaids to want to have an art party (view past birthdays parties here). I guess 6…
I’m so used to throwing girl birthday parties… we’ve done mermaids, tea parties – you know, over-the-top girly stuff – and I’ve loved sharing those moments with my little lady. But now that I have two boys who are getting old enough to warrant fun thematic parties, I’m realizing that boy parties can be fun…
I both love and hate birthday parties. I have fun planning them and setting them up, but I also stress myself out and always try to accomplish way too many projects. I think I fared slightly better this year; I only party prepped until about 9 p.m. the night before and had plenty of time to…
Our little man turned two this last week. Hard to believe. Luckily the day came and went and I didn’t go into labor, so he is safe from having to share his birthday with his soon-to-join-us brother. Although they will probably have joint parties for years to come. Sorry, boys.
A few months back I had someone contact me about the vintage Curious George birthday party that I had thrown for my daughter wanting to know if the invitations I had used were for sale in my Etsy shop. I told her that unfortunately they were not, because the Curious George images I used for…
Are you ready for party picture overload? Cause it’s about to happen.
For Lincoln’s 1st birthday, I decided on a slightly unconventional theme. I’m not sure where I got it, I think I saw something on Pinterest a while back that sparked the idea and then I just ran with it.
This weekend we celebrated Mia’s 3rd birthday. Not quite sure how that happened, but somehow an entire year has flown by since the vintage circus party. Our little girl loves to run and jump, laugh and dance, tell jokes and sing songs, and most of all, she loves watching Curious George.
When she wakes up in the morning, she wants to watch Curious George. When she wakes up from her afternoon nap, she wants to watch Curious George. Who am I kidding? All day long, she wants to watch Curious George. I know more about the man in the yellow hat than I do my own husband…
