DIY Felt Deer Antler Headband
When my daughter Hazel turned two, she was so fascinated with deer that we threw her a whimsical, woodland themed deer party for her birthday. I made her a sweet little felt antler headband to wear that day and always intended to share how I did it here. As life goes, it didn’t happen, but I am finally sharing it now. Two years later… I receive emails from time to time from other moms who want to make a similar antler headband but don’t know how. If you are one of them reading this…my apologies for the delay in this post (bad blogger!). I have tried my best to explain…

Hazel’s Frozen 4th Birthday Party
I seriously never thought I would do character parties for my kids, but as they have gotten older and have their own interests, it would be pretty hard not to, right? So the challenge for me then? Still make it as creative and unique as possible, while keeping with the theme they love. For Hazel’s fourth this year, she knew for months what kind of party she wanted. A Frozen party. And not just any Frozen party: an Elsa party. I guess I just had to let it go about my hopes and dreams that she would choose a unicorn party (her second choice), and go with the flow of the…

Hazel’s Sheriff Callie Inspired Cowgirl Birthday Party
My daughter Hazel is coming up on her fourth birthday (hard to believe!) and if there is one thing I am terrible at as a blogger, it is getting my kids’ birthday posts up around their actual birthday. Today, I am finally sharing Hazel’s third birthday party which was a Sheriff Callie inspired cowgirl theme. Even though this post is near a year late, I hope you enjoy seeing how we celebrated and get some inspiration if you are planning a similar party soon! When we were deciding on a theme, Hazel kept coming back to Sheriff Callie, an adorable show on Disney Junior that we would watch from time…

Owen’s First Birthday: A Football Party {a look back}
My little man, Owen, turned one on September 26, 2013. I never got around to sharing a birthday post back then, but decided with the draft coming this week, I would share it now! If you aren’t up on the NFL draft, well let me tell you…it is a very big deal. At least in my house it is 🙂 My husband is a very serious football fan. Not the kind who yells loudly at the TV or wears sports paraphernalia of his favorite team. Nope. Not that kind. A real fan. One who studies the players before they make it to the NFL. Who knows all the intricate details…

Whimsical Woodland Deer Birthday Party
I began this post last summer and I am ashamed to say I never finished it! Until now that is. I guess I did better than with her first birthday which had a “country fair” theme. I never finished that post at all. Maybe I still will…hopefully before she moves out of the house 🙂 If you have a party to plan this spring or summer and are looking for whimsical, woodland inspiration, you have come to the right place. The whole party came together with lots of help from extended family and turned out beautifully. I have left what I had originally started writing, only added on to it. …
