A very girly tea party birthday

January 27, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Tea Party Birthday with Tutus | TheMombot.com

This past weekend we finally had Mia’s 4th birthday party, even though her birthday was a couple of weeks ago. I think she prefers it that way, though, since it feels like we are celebrating her all month long! I started planning weeks ago (see my inspiration board here), but didn’t get to everything because I ran out of time. I planned to make a fabric or paper chain banner, but oops – didn’t happen.

This was by far the funnest party I have thrown for my little ones. There were a total of 6 little girls at the party, which meant less chaos and more cuteness. I focused my time on making tutus for each girl, as well as pom pom wands; I also prepped some crown headbands for them that we decorated together with jewels during the party.

The girls loved sitting around the table drinking juice from their plastic tea cups, eating their heart-shaped sandwiches, and – of course – devouring the pink cupcakes. Spare moments were spent playing with toys and Mia’s new tea set that I made her for her birthday, and the moms even got to chat a bit.

All in all, it was such a special day for my girl. I loved watching her be her girly, adorable self and interact with her little friends. She was absolutely thriving in the smaller environment (most of our past parties have been bigger in size) and I think she loved being surrounded by just the ladies.

Here are some pictures of the party details:

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

Another to-do checked off my list for spring break Another to-do checked off my list for spring break room makeover!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
