p’s birthday week

Category: baby, everyday | January 15th, 2012


it’s party week people! i have been a little busy these past few days. i wanted to get a post in at least but that hasn’t happened. oops. you know when you think something will take an hour…well triple it. that’s really how long it takes. ;) at least for me that is. lots of little things pop up that need to get done and then random things get thrown at you. lol. but it’s birthday week!!

we had her big family shindig on saturday and it was so much fun seeing everyone!! our entire immediate family came into town just for her (we did miss a couple due to not feeling well. sad day). it was like our wedding day-happened all too fast. lol. got lots of good pics (thanks K & H!) so i am excited to go through them and show ya a few…okay a lot. ;)

i can’t believe this tiny human being is about to be one (on thursday!). it’s fun to think back one year ago and see how my life has changed completely…for the better of course. i won’t get all mushy on this post…i’ll save it for her birthday. :) i’m so going to be that mom who says all that sweet lovey dovey stuff to them on their special day in front of all their friends. ;)

here’s to more celebrations! P has a little birthday play date with all her buddies tomorrow. excited to leave the party decor up for a little longer. :) have a great week everyone!!!

someone’s turning one soon…

so it’s january. which means my sweet adorable baby will be one soon. what?!? i knew this day was coming soon but man it feels like this past year went by sooo fast. i know we all say that, but seriously. so a new project (because i don’t have enough going on already)….preparing for her first birthday party!!

it’ll be a fun, family filled party. ALL of our immediate family is coming!! so excited! pretty sure last time that happened it was our wedding day. anywho, it’s going to fun! and all handmade! well for the most part. so let the little projects begin because i have less than 2 weeks to plan/prepare! and yes, i have been stalking pinterest like it’s my job. so thank you pinterest for helping me and at the same time making my life harder with alllll these awesome ideas. you can see my party ideas on pinterest here! (it may or may not be a rainbow theme) :)

**if you have any ideas to share then please do!!! or even just some advice on the whole 1st birthday shenanigan. i’m a rookie.

so be prepared to read a few posts about miss P’s birthday bash. oh, and i might have gone overboard on the researching inspiration ideas because i already have ideas for future birthday parties! ha.

♥ hand made ornament…and then some

first hand made ornament! (well not counting all the fabulous elementary school ornaments i made…which all look amazing. haha). i am in love with this lil nugget. so thankful for miss Betz White who lovingly posted a tutorial on how to make these beauties. i adore them. i adore them so much i made myself an ornament….some on a headband…a bobby pin…and even a ring (this one is for Tiffany). can’t get enough of these…i’m sure you’ll be seeing these for awhile.
