With three of them now, I have to be extra diligent to make the time to get it done but much like working out, once I am finished, I am always glad I did it!

backyardcampIdeas For Summer Birthdays

From the neighborhood pool, to the local splash pad, water is a great way to celebrate a summer birthday.  Many places rent their facilities and often have covered tables for inexpensive fees. Splash pads are great for little kids who don’t yet have swimming skills and parents are less anxious {We have a great list HERE}. Another option to consider is renting an inflatable water slide.

unnamed7A Pink Lemonade First Birthday Party

I can hardly believe that my little Maggie turned one on May 8. It seems like just yesterday I was sharing her birth story with all of you and cherishing the newborn days that are gone in the blink of an eye. I know everyone always tells you that it goes so fast, and I definitely found that to be true with Nora. But with Maggie it seems like things are going at warped speed!

We all agree kids’ birthday parties are an awesome tradition, so what can we do to continue the bonding experience but minimize future diabetes?

I love planning birthday parties, but I also love saving money, and typically those things don’t go hand in hand.  It seems like Pinterest makes Mama’s feel like they have to go above and beyond with party planning and spend a fortune, but that’s not true.  I’m here to tell you how you can have a cute party on a dime.

5-Tips-for-a-DIY-Superhero-PartySuperhero Birthday Party With A Gold Star Twist

A little over two weeks ago, we celebrated my girls’ 4th birthday!!! I know we all feel this way at each milestone, but WOWZA…4 just seems so old in our little world! We’ve done supersized parties for years 1, 2, and 3, so I was determined to keep this year’s celebration small and simple…no pinning and planning months ahead of time. No searching blogs for the perfect mix of DIY decor, etsy steals, and secret party tricks. None of it, y’all. I just wanted a little family dinner with some cupcakes or special cookies and DONE.

IMG_4552-226x300Not My First Rodeo: Throwing A Second First Birthday Party

My youngest turned one last month. She’s our second baby, a girl, and our sweet sunshine which lent itself well to the theme of her party: “you are my sunshine.” At the outset, I intended to go all the way with this precious theme. I mean, I’m a stay-at-home mom, which basically means I’m the next Martha Stewart with a little Baby Whisperer thrown in for good measure. I should be able to rock a birthday.

Featured Party: Pumpkin County Fair

I just LOVE a party! Well, who doesn’t? But, over the past few years, I’ve found an obsession of sorts with perusing party blogs and pinterest checking out all of the creative things people have come up with in the party throwing department. I thought it would be a fun idea to start featuring local parties and have a glimpse into what creative mamas are pulling together around Jacksonville.

This past weekend we celebrated our daughter’s first birthday. It was a day full of happiness {and sunshine}. Our daughter has brought so much love and joy into our lives in such a short time. The night before her birthday when I kissed her goodnight I had to fight back tears, how could my little girl be turning one already in what seemed like the blink of an eye?! Some of the days seemed long – but the weeks and months went way too fast.

SAM_3858-1024x768Why I Go All Out Birthdays

Every year as I’m burning the midnight oil to put the finishing touches on one of my sons’ birthday parties, I ask myself “Why do you do this to yourself year after year?!” Well, the answer is quite simple, really…it always boils down to “Why not?” I can’t think of a better reason to get together with friends and family than to celebrate the birth of the two most precious gifts God has ever given to me.  It’s an opportunity to bless and serve those who’ve loved on my kids throughout the year and to celebrate the life of the two littles I love the most.  Why would I not go all out on such an occasion?

DSC_0830-300x298Pancakes and Pajamas: A First Birthday Party

My daughter just turned one year old a few weeks ago and I had so much fun planning and throwing her a party.  One weekend morning when we were sitting down for breakfast I thought that doing a pancake/breakfast themed birthday party where everyone wore their pajamas would be a lot of fun and a little different.  Later on that day with a quick internet search I found out that I am not the only one that thinks Pancakes & Pajamas would be a fun party idea.  I had so much fun putting it all together and the party was a big hit, so I wanted to share the details with you here.

FirstBirthdayParty-01The Easiest Pinterest Style First Birthday Party

We recently celebrated our third first-birthday-party. We have had quite a bit of practice at this first-birthday-party-business.

For our first daughter, I went all out for her party. I sent lots of money and lots of time planning it all, and when all was said and done,  I was exhausted and felt like I was behind the camera the entire time (which I was).
