Birthday Success

My little man had his very first on location Birthday party yesterday. We always had our celebrations at home because we didn't think he was that interested in the party and friends yet. This year we knew he was ready and we let him choose where he wanted to celebrate his big day. Our big boy chose Jungle Java and we invited all of his friends.

The party was amazing and N had the best time! He didn't even want to stop playing to take a bathroom break. He loved seeing his school friends and enjoyed every second of playtime. I was so impressed with Jungle Java and their service and staff. I literally didn't have to do one thing because their great staff decorated, served yummy food and ordered a perfect cake. I loved seeing my baby (and his little brother) so happy and having so much fun.

With this party falling the day after the horrific Connecticut shootings, we spent even more energy basking in our amazing children and family. There is nothing better than celebrating an amazing boy with all of our favorite friends and family. A truly wonderful day!

Great Decor

New Year Wishes

I like to be prepared and I often get things ready a little early. I loved these two things I saw on pinterest so I gave them my own little spin and then made them for the 12 adults on my side of the immediate family and 2 of my friends.. so far ;).


I am big into making wishes and encouraging others to do so. I believe anything can be yours and the more you put into clear words/pictures, what you want, the more likely and quickly it is to happen. SO to start out the New Year this year, this is what I gave to my people.

A few different designs but one mission

 

 

These are the instructions

 

Inside the jar is paper, a color coordinated marker and one bag of wishes

that can be carried over each year. Love, Health, Wealth, Serenity, Dreams and Happiness.

 

On the side I added this second little trinket

Rainbow candy with mini pots of gold

This part I got from a St. Patty's Idea on Pinterest

 

This part I added and spun it into my little New Year's theme

 

The New Year is almost here. Make sure your thoughts are positive, your hopes are high and your dreams are

huge!!

 

Enjoy the end of the year and ring in the new year right!

xoxo

 

 

 

 



A Little Late To Post, But Still Thankful

It has been busy around here as I have some exciting new things on the fire that will hopefully help my little business move to the next level, but I did want to post some fun pics from Thanksgiving.

We had 25+ of our favorite friends and family over and everyone brought a yummy dish. I tested out a few new recipes including, Blueberry Cheesecake Bars, Oreo Cheesecake Bars and Grandma's Marshmallow Candy. Dinner was perfect, dessert was yummy and the company was the best!

Thanksful as always to be surrounded by amazing people all year long.

Set allll the tables

 

Gone are the days of fine china. It's resting comfortably in the cupboard

Everyone got a goody bag with a See's turkey sucker, jelly beans and a little note telling them

how thankful we all are to have them in our lives!

 

Delicous first attempt

Quite yummy too

The people that fill these chairs alternate from time to time but every single day

these chairs are filled! We are so lucky to have playdates with our favorite people

all the time!

Lucky and Thankful!
