I was so glad I decided to have Milly’s party early in October, before I was at the super late stages of pregnancy. She wanted to have a gymnastics party and invited her whole class. It was super simple – the kids got to play for hours only taking a break for snacks and cupcakes… [Read More]

We did a combined farmer’s market birthday party with family for the girls’ 2nd and 5th birthdays. It was in our backyard on a warm September afternoon. We have a bathtub “planter” in our yard which I filled with drinks, we had lots of fresh fruit, bruschetta, and pasta salad, and we had our bouncy… [Read More]

Milly chose a princess theme for her 4th birthday. We had a backyard party with lots of family and encouraged everyone to dress up! We set up our pink bouncy-castle, I put a magic carpet on our saucer-swing for flying, and we had a kids table with craft paper to color on and snow white… [Read More]

Ava’s 1st birthday was definitely not what I had envisioned. We were going to have a big party with family, but we ended up all getting sick. I managed to throw her a little celebration with some decorations, a smash cake, and a few first birthday gifts. We had a “little cutie” theme to celebrate… [Read More]

We really lucked out with Milly’s birthday last year. We wanted to celebrate her with a party and with the weirdness of the times, thought we should have it outside. Her birthday is usually one of the last weekends before it turns VERY cold outside so it was definitely a gamble. But, it ended up… [Read More]

I wrote this last summer but am just now posting it… :) We spent the week getting takeout from restaurants + bbqing and eating on our veranda. We made s’mores a couple times in our firepit, plus our resort hosted a s’mores night on the beach which we went to. We went to a berry… [Read More]

Summer 2020 was a weird one. Restaurants closing, no local pool, no gatherings… plus I was pregnant on top of all of it. I’m so thankful we had the lake to escape to. We had backyard hangs, and lots of berry picking. We found a swing set for Milly on Facebook market place which we… [Read More]
