Can you believe our Daisy girl is ONE!? Wasn’t it just yesterday that she was born and joined our family? Here’s her birth story if you’re into that kind of thing! This past weekend, we hosted a little 1st birthday celebration for her with family and close friends! I wasn’t going to do a big party at first – it feels like most of the kids we know are older and we know everyone is busy. But then I  quickly realized – this brings me so much joy to do! I  didn’t get to do a first birthday party with Winnie (outside of family) and […]

Hi friends! I’m so excited to share about Winnie’s birthday party today! We knew we wanted to throw a special party for her for her fifth birthday – it’s a big one, plus all of her other birthday parties have been small and/or shared parties with Lucy. If you don’t know Winnie IRL or aren’t sure why this party is just perfect for her, please see my Vacation Winnie highlight for years worth of stories, photos, videos, and hilarious moments of Winnie being her authentic, one-of-a-kind self. INSPIRATION & PLANNING   I’m not sure how it all started, but we kept talking about Winnie’s favorite […]

Hi friends! First of all…how do I have a SEVEN-year-old!? It feels like just yesterday Lucy was born, but here we are now – celebrating her 7th birthday! This year, we decided to do a more ‘low-key’ birthday party for Lucy. But…it ended up being not so low-key after all. ✨🙈 I AM WHO I AM. Getting lost in the tiny details, getting to be creative, and putting together a memorable gathering for my girls is something that brings me a lot of joy and this party was no exception. Lucy wanted a ‘big girl’ birthday party and we came up with the idea to […]

We recently celebrated Lucy and Winnie turning 6 and 4 with a festive fairy party! I’ve shared detailed blog posts highlighting past parties (including a cheetah/party animals party and an adopt-a-puppy party) and also wanted to recap this fairy party. We had a lot of fun putting together this party and getting lost in fun, festive details to bring this whimsical joint birthday party to life. Here are the details of Lucy and Winnie’s fairy party! 🧚🏻‍♀️🍄✨🌿 THEME & INSPIRATION A few months ago, I asked Lucy and Winnie to work together to come up with their birthday party theme. They decided they wanted a […]

I  had so much fun planning Lucy’s 5th birthday party and wanted to share some deeper dive blog posts about different elements of the party. Today, I’m sharing all about the food! You can find more about the party theme/decor HERE and party activities HERE. SAFARI PARTY FOOD My mom and mother-in-law handled all the food for the party and it was great! My mother-in-law blew it out of the park with these creative platters! She created a delicious berry tray with a watermelon elephant, and also lion-shaped veggie and hummus tray. They were SO festive and adorable! My mom also made an animal cracker […]

I  had so much fun planning Lucy’s 5th birthday party and wanted to share some deeper dive blog posts about different elements of the party. Today, I’m sharing all about the party activities! You can find more about the party food HERE and party decor HERE. ACTIVITIES ACTIVITY #1: Grab party ears! Right when you walk in, kids and grown ups could grab animal party ears! I ordered a couple sets of these Jungle/Safari Animal Headbands and hung them on the wall with clear Command hooks. The headband pack came with 12 options — I loved that there were so many animal ears people could […]
