I'm in love...

With this idea! I can't help looking at it and getting anxious, I REALLY want to do this in my bedroom. I started last week re-purposing a few items in my bedroom to fit the theme, but then decided I didn't want any one color, that I want a whole bunch, and I just want this beautiful tree to live in my room. I think it would be VERY time consuming, but do able. I've read that it's crepe paper twisted and pulled? Does that make sense? If anyone would have a better idea then let me know.

I just found this blog, Ruthi Auda. It's completely stunning and I love her blog almost as much as I love her tree! She is a designer for Anthropologie, how cool would that job be? I'm jealous!

Doesn't that make your heart skip a beat?

And they say you can't play with your food...

Today while at the Dr.'s office, I was fumbling through one of the child magazines and came across this idea, I thought it was so cool and knew the kids would love it too. I can't remember what magazine it was to give the proper credit.
It's so simple too. I love it! I want to start a series for fun, easy, kids meals that they can prepare. All I had to do was boil the water and cut the hotdog!

 "Squid Dogs"

Just cut up a few hotdogs

Let the kids spear them with thin spaghetti noodles

Drop them in boiling water, and cook until noodles are tender!

And ENJOY!!

It was pretty good!

A Super Birthday

I've been starting the prep work for P#3's Birthday Party. It is going to be SO much fun! Here are some of the things that I've been working on. You can do most of these with things with your printer and cheap craft supplies.

My in-laws found these on clearance at Toys-R-Us. Batman is P's favorite superhero!

The Party is on Saturday, so after that I will be back with tutorials, downloads, links, templates, and lots of photo's sharing all the ideas!! Stay tuned!

A special baby shower

2 weeks ago my Girlfriend and I (with the help of my mother-in-law) threw an amazing baby shower for our other life long friend. I wrote about her story here. She has been through so much and deserved to have an amazing shower. We decided to go with a theme I saw on the Aesthetic Nest. It was so beautifully done and at first I was a little worried that I wouldn't be able to execute it as well as them. But I think it turned out wonderful, we did different colors and I changed up a few things, but it was they're idea that brought it all to life. A HUGE thank you to them!! You can go here to get their free printables and see how amazing theirs was!When Mom-to-be saw everything she immediately starting crying, so I would say it was a huge success.

The whole set-up

She's a vegetarian so we made some Prego/Vegan Friendly sushi. It was really Yummy! Everything on the menu was Vegan, and she LOVED it all!

Thanks for reading! I will be back soon with P#3's pre-Birthday party planning. I'm excited to share!
