Trenton’s Truck Birthday

terrific truck birthday

As I am starting to get ready for my son’s big astronaut party, I thought it would be fun to share some of what we did last year for his 3rd b-day…A construction/truck party. Going completely against my nature, I bought invitations this time. This was only because the invitation was the exact concept I [...]

Water Rockets

I found a great post on the water rockets I’m thinking of doing with the kids, here. They did even more than I was planning to make them look great. I’m still a little fuzzy on the physics of it all, but that is my husband’s department. I’m exclusively in the aesthetics department.

Boys Birthdays

I had to post these cool Lego cupcakes for all of my Lego-obsessed nephews and their (Lego-obsessed Dads) one of them just had a Lego birthday, I think. They are from Hello Naomi.

Pup Cakes

My sister, Shanda, made these adorable cupcakes for her daughter’s first birthday. I believe she just used m&m’s and some string tips (correct me if I’m wrong, Shanda). Anyway, supercute. (And I like the serving plate, too.)

Hunting Update

Erin (the one who is throwing the hunting party) sent me a copy of the invitation she made to post. (Erin, I am assuming your husband doesn’t read this blog, since this is a surprise party). Anyway, I love the hunting terms “you’ve been drawn.” She made the invitation digitally using design elements from one [...]

A Hunting We Will Go…

I had a request for ideas for a hunting-themed birthday party, so I will share what I have come up with. First of all, I have to tell you that in my searching, I learned something new. Did you realize that hunting and camo are popular themes for weddings? I kid you not. I know [...]
