Our Taylor Swift-themed 8th Birthday Party
I have to say, the planning process for this was one for the books. My daughter let me know pretty early on she was thinking a Taylor-themed birthday, as she – like pretty much all the girls her age – is obsessed. Plus she was a little bummed she didn’t get to go on the…

A Bluey-themed 3rd Birthday
This was probably the most anticipated party I’ve planned yet, only because my older (more experienced) kids seeded the idea in my little one’s head. My youngest is obsessed with Bluey, and maybe only a couple months after she turned two, her siblings said, “You can have a Bluey birthday!” And ever since, she’s been…

A Winnie-The-Pooh Themed Birthday Picnic
Now that we are two years into it, I’m finding that every milestone with your littlest baby is bittersweet because you’re cognizant it’s the last time you are probably going to go through that experience.

I’ve been wanting to write everything down about this party for a while. This was a special one. Admittedly, it was what many considered over the top.

Our Teddy-Bear Themed 1st Birthday for our Sweet Baby Bear
This was a special one. She’s our third and probably last baby. I remember when we found out her due date – which was the same month as my other daughter – one of my first thoughts (embarrassingly) was how daunting it would be to have to plan two birthday parties in the same month.…

For our son’s first birthday, we did a twist on Twinkle Little Star for my music-loving baby! When my firstborn turned one, I absolutely wanted to make it special. I know it sounds kind of silly, but as a child, I already loved planning birthday parties, and it was always one of the things I…
