When I started planning Braylen's party, I knew without a doubt that she would have a princess birthday party full of pink this year. I'm not sure when her love of all things pink started, but she's maintained that pink is her favorite color for months. Her love for princesses and fairy tales grows stronger by the day. In fact, when talking about Disney World, I told her it is where the princesses live. She replied, Like at this house, 'cause a princess lives here. Of course, she was referring to herself.

“doh”n’t you wanna be mine, valentine?
It's going to be a low-key Valentine's day for us.

Susannah’s “You Are My Sunshine” Sip and See
This past weekend I co-hosted a "You are My Sunshine" sip and see for Susannah and baby Crue. I used the adorable party theme that Sweet Birdie's Nest created for a shower that Erin hosted.

Publix is generally my go-to for cupcakes but Rachel picked these up at Sam's and I can't tell you that number of people who asked where they came from. They … [Read more...]
