Show and Tell Tuesday-Kids Parties

Happy Tuesday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea for Show and Tell Tuesday. Today's topic is kids parties! I have a huge love for kids parties, seriously I love everything about them. The planning, crafting, decorating, cake eating and seeing the joy on my kids face. I not only love throwing a good party I love attending them. Celebrating my family, friends kiddos and my kiddos is my favorite thing to do! Today I'm going to share a few details of Kona's and Kai's parties and do a more detailed post of each one soon.

Baby Shower

Yesterday I threw one of my best friends a baby shower, it was a morning filled with so much love and lots of donuts! :) Noelle and I met about three years ago and became close friends right away. We use to travel together for our old job and have spent many hours together, driving all over the state, talking, crying, and laughing till it hurt. Noelle is one of those people you want to be around and tell everything to. She has a heart of gold and is always thinking about everyone else. She means so much to me and I couldn't wait to shower her and her sweet baby boy with love.

We had her shower at a space downtown and it was so pretty. It was open and airy so I didn't have to decorate much. I brought in a bunch of white flowers in mason jars to put on the tables.

As guests arrived they filled out Wishes for Baby and signed the book, If You Give A Dog A Donut.

We had several different types of donuts, bagels, yogurt, fruit, coffee and juice. I stamped napkins and paper holders for the donuts and used food baskets instead of plates. I got the stamps and baskets at Hobby Lobby.

 

 

We played a game to see who knew Mommy or Daddy the best. I got the free printable here and had Noelle come up with 15 facts. This game was a lot of fun and super simple!

The winner got some pretty spring tulips!

It was such a wonderful morning celebrating Noelle and her sweet baby boy. I can't wait to meet him and kiss those cheeks!!

Dr. Seuss Craft Day

Kona loves Dr. Seuss books and gets such a kick out of them so yesterday we had some friends over to celebrate Dr. Seuss' birthday! It was such a fun afternoon filled with snacks and lots of crafting! The funny thing is, before we had kids, I didn't like Dr. Seuss books, but now I love them and we read and re-read them multiple times a week. :)

 We had "Hop on Popcorn" and "Red Fish, Blue Fish, Goldfish" to snack on, I grabbed most of the Dr. Seuss books we have and a fun sign my Grandma got Kona for his birthday to decorate our kitchen table. I also picked up Horton Hears a Who journal's and stickers at the Target dollar spot! Kona loves writing "letters" to write J.D. while he's working, so I knew he would love this little journal. I set everything up while Kona was having quiet time and when he finally saw the table his eyes got so big. He couldn't wait for his friend to get here and stared out the window asking "Mom, are they here yet?!?" approximately 20 times. :) 

I love this saying and pray that my kids always follow their dreams.

 

 We started by making The Cat in the Hat, hat by gluing red construction paper on hat's I drew and cut out. Then we decided these hats needed to be turned in to masks. I love the way they turned out and it was such a fun add on! Since it was a last minute thing we only had green plates, but I still think they are super cute. I think Kona agrees with me! :)

 Next up was the animal from Put Me in the Zoo. We cut out yellow construction paper, drew the face and glued on his spots. I love the way they turned out!

Finally we made red fish, blue fish handprints. I try and do hand or footprint crafts a few times a year for different holidays. They are my favorite things to do and I love pulling them out every year and displaying them.

 

 I hope you all have a wonderful weekend! We will be spending ours outside enjoying the 50 degree weather! XOXO

What I Wore

Happy Wednesday! This week it has been cold, windy and snowy.  I am so ready for spring! I can't wait to wear shorts, t-shirts and dresses, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen anytime soon, so I will continue to embrace sweaters, jeans and layers :)

 Shirt: Similar

Jeans: Same

Shoes: Same


Sweater: Similar
Jeans: Same
Shoes: Same
Necklace: Similar
These shoes come in about 17 different colors, but now they don't have leopard. I love them, they are very comfortable and I can be in them all day without my feet hurting. I also really like these jeans. They don't stretch out and they are a perfect length for booties.


Have a wonderful Wednesday! XOXO
Linking up with The Pleated Poppy today.
