Super Mario Birthday Party

Super Mario Birthday Party

Ethan has been OB-SESSED with the world of Mario since we introduced him to the classic Nintendo game several months ago. If you follow me on Instagram, I'm sure you've noticed that he is in a phase of only wearing Mario shirts to school, only to change into his Mario pajamas at bedtime. So it came as absolutely no surprise that he decided he wanted to celebrate turning ...

“Happy Boo Day”- A Girly Halloween Birthday Party

“Happy Boo Day”- A Girly Halloween Birthday Party

Okay I mayyyyyy have planted the idea for this girly Halloween birthday party like.. a year ago! But with an October birthday you've just gotta, right? Harper was completely on board as you can tell by her Wednesday Addams vibe (hopefully not an indication of her 7 year old vibe 😜). She did make sure to tell me to include "scary Halloween" and not only cutesy stuff. While ...

A whole year with our little homegrown pandemic baby - whew! We made it! If nothing else, this year is definitely one to celebrate.

Transformers Birthday Party- Ethan’s Trans4mer Party!

Transformers Birthday Party- Ethan’s Trans4mer Party!

To say Ethan has been Transformer obsessed lately would be an understatement, so it came to no one's surprise that he asked for his 4th birthday party to have a Transformers theme. What DID come as a surprise is that we'd be stuck celebrating his birthday with just our immediate family at home during a global pandemic 🙃- some things you just can't plan for, huh? I wanted ...

Mermaid Birthday Party

I'll share some photos below of how I put together an adorably sweet under the sea Mermaid Birthday Party, including: whimsical decor, a treasure chest craft / party favor, and a DIY (with help from etsy ;) ) cake. Styling a Mermaid ...

STORYBOOK BIRTHDAY BRUNCH

STORYBOOK BIRTHDAY BRUNCH

Once upon a time, there was a 3-year-old that loved books so much that she wanted a whole birthday party full of them. I decided to plan a Storybook Birthday Brunch with some fun twists thrown in by the birthday girl. It was the first birthday that she really "gets" and has been looking forward to. If there's one thing she's gained in the last year it's an ...

Rubber Duck Birthday Party

Rubber Duck Birthday Party

Ethan's 2-year-old rubber duck birthday party (affectionately named "Quack-y Birthday) was SO fun and one of my absolute favorites! Turns out that 2 is a unique age where your child is coming into their own personality but doesn't have full-fledged interests in much of anything. I had to dig deep into my creative reserves to come up with a birthday party theme that he would love! Cue obsessively ...

ICE CREAM BIRTHDAY PARTY- Harper’s 2!

"We have a new baby and are mid-move into a new house- let's throw an extravagant ice cream birthday party!"- says no mom ever. Except for me, I guess. But really, I love putting together special days for my kids and I didn't want Harper to miss out because of all the crazy going on around us these days. The party was completely planned and ordered prior to ...

“Favorite Things” FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

“Favorite Things” FIRST BIRTHDAY PARTY

Harper's first birthday party was ALL about HER and featured all of her "Favorite Things"! Her number 1- no question about it- favorite thing as a one-year-old was her little collection of elephants. So they obviously became a major element in her birthday party, appearing both on the top of her sprinkle smash cake as well as on the birthday parade fabric I bought to use as a ...
