I am finally getting around to sharing Arden’s Pony Party – yay! We had so much fun celebrating Arden’s birthday as she turned five with a very special guest at her party – my cousin’s pony Sweet Pea. March in Michigan is typically still pretty cold and there might be some light snow on the {…Continue Reading}
We celebrated Hadley’s 2nd birthday with a fairly loose interpretation of a cheese mouse theme. She loves the mouse from the Tinkerbell movies named Cheese, so it seemed like a good theme to follow. I created the invitations on PicMonkey using a photo from our summer vacation. Since Hadley’s birthday falls during 3rd quarter closing {…Continue Reading}
The big day came and went, and it was a huge success! Every time we host a birthday party I think I get a little better about expectations and time management… This time we were only doing last minute decorations after guests arrived, not still prepping and putting food out as we’ve been guilty of {…Continue Reading}
I have about three projects for Arden’s rainbow birthday party that I was planning to post about. I have the projects completed (or mostly so), but we’ve been hit by a little bug around here and I just don’t have the energy for photo editing and post-writing. Poor Hadley had diarrhea over the weekend so {…Continue Reading}
Arden chooses the theme for her birthday party each year. This year she went back and forth between a Doc McStuffins party, various single colors, and a brief stint as a ballerina party before finally arriving at a rainbow party. Or, it’s just that I said enough’s enough and I have to get the invitations {…Continue Reading}
We could not have asked for a more perfect day to host Hadley’s 1st birthday party in our backyard. 70 degrees and sunny at the tail end of September is a rare treat in Michigan! In keeping with the bird/tree/nature theme I was going for, I decorated with burlap as the table coverings and also {…Continue Reading}
Can I just tell you how pleased I am that I got this dress finished in time for Hadley’s first birthday party? Normally, the fabrics would have just sat in the bag until it was too late to possibly finish, or I would try to sew late into the night with a resulting hopeless mess. {…Continue Reading}
Since we’re having a birdie themed party for Hadley’s first birthday, I thought a favor for the birds would be appropriate. I had pinned a couple of versions of these, but the recipe I went with came from The Mother Huddle. Supplies:4 C bird seed feed3/4 C all purpose flour1/2 C water3 T corn syrup1 package of plain {…Continue Reading}
A while back, I had picked up a wooden letter “A” and an “H” in the clearance bin at Michaels. I didn’t have a specific project in mind, but figured I could make something cool for the girls. When I started planning the decor for Hadley’s first birthday party, I remembered them and decided to {…Continue Reading}
I’m ba-ack! Sorry, I’ve just been busy with the usual: banner orders and taking care of two cuties, plus it’s been super busy at work (I do have a day job – at least part of the time!) with reporting/forecasting, I had to do an inventory count near Chicago, and then we just wrapped up quarterly product cost {…Continue Reading}
