Sprinkled with Love Baby Shower.

I threw this baby shower for a friend last year. It was really fun to plan and pull together. I had a lot of help with the décor and food. The printables were designed my sister, Jaime, and the party theme was inspired by cupcake sprinkles. The invite:
A sign for the front door:
I bought frames from Michael's and sprayed them with adhesive and then put as many sprinkles on them as would stick.
 A friend of mine made this adorable baby sign with foam board and sprinkles and a pom pom garland with yarn. I love it.
 I'm in love with ranunculus flowers. I drove way across town to Trader Joe's to find these. It was well worth the drive. Aren't they beautiful?
 This is the fabric flower garland that now hangs on Avery's bedroom wall. I love the colors and feel of it.
 The food table.
 The dessert table. I wanted everything to be covered in sprinkles.
 I set up a table for guests to paint a wood alphabet block for the baby. I bought the blocks online and used vinyl letter stickers.
 The party favors were mini sugar cookies (with sprinkles on them, of course - bought from Walmart's bakery), in white bags.
 I gave these fun nail polishes to all the girls who helped me with the food and décor. I love seeing all of them together...makes my color loving OCD heart happy.
 My friend had her baby early, so we were so excited to meet her! She was the hit of the party.
Congratulations, Lyndsey!

    This shower makes me smile so big! It's just so pretty and bright and girly and happy! I love how everything turned out, especially your ribbon flower garland and sprinkle-covered frames and banner. So adorable!!! And that invite is one of my very favorites too. :)

Friendship themed Relief Society Dinner.

I spent a lot of time planning for our big Relief Society dinner/Visiting Teaching Conference. After tossing around a lot of ideas, I finally settled on the theme of friendship. I saw this Mary Engelbreit illustration and quote that I loved, and it became the basis for the whole night. I had so much help from Jaime, my sis. She designed these awesome invitations and helped me so much as I planned the décor . Another sweet friend, Katie, helped me with the food.. we decided to have it catered by Kneaders. We had to go eat there to really look at everything and decide.. ;) We even tried some desserts just to be sure.. it was fun, fun!! I bought this adorable polka dot teapot there that I just knew I wanted to use. Another dear friend, Sarah, who is crazy talented by the way, went with me to Hobby Lobby and The Dollar Store with me for frames, vases, and other décor.. we found these adorable artificial fruits that ended up being perfect for the theme. I'd printed out ...

Party 101.

I remember when my oldest son was 4 years old, and I wanted to plan a birthday party for him. I was overwhelmed with how to go about planning a birthday party for little kids. I wasn't sure where to start. All I knew was that he really wanted a Thomas the Train theme. Cohen, at his Thomas party. Up until then, we had always done birthday parties with family only, and they were simply eating a meal (often at a restaurant), opening presents, and having cake. This would be our first friend birthday party, where we'd have to plan activities and food for all the kids. I so wanted to have a party that was memorable for my son and his friends.  I emailed a friend of mine and asked her for advice. She gave me some great tips that I've used in all my parties since. My twin sister, Jaime, also has been a great source to turn to. She throws a mean party and is crazy creative. O ver the years, I've also learned a lot of things from trial and error, lots of ...

Kid's bedroom series: Cohen's Captain America themed wall gallery.

Cohen's gallery wall is up! It's taken me a while to gather everything and get it up the way I envisioned.  I love these photos from Cohen's baptism day so much; I had to include them.  And here's his brother print my sis designed. Love it so much.   The Captain America piggy bank is from the same American Nostalgia store I mentioned in my previous post. That store was so fun! I had a hard time limiting my purchases when I was there. The photo here of the boys at Mission Beach looking for sand crabs is one of my all time favorites of them.   This geometric canvas I found just recently at Target. I also bought a green version for Ren's room, of course. I will post more pics of Cohen's rooms soon. It is almost complete! Wahoo!
