How we are already less than one month away from Harper's 1st birthday.....I have no idea. Somewhere between leaving the hospital with our teeny (& very jaundice) newborn and changing her 13 million blowouts she grew up into a toddler.
With about a month left to plan we've decided on a woodlands theme party full of flower chains, mushrooms, and bambi!
Thanks to pinterest & some fellow bloggers like Jessica with little baby garvin and Amy Cavs, I threw together a little woodlands cheat sheet. The mushroom cupcakes and perfect braided pie are a must. As a housewife, I'm ashamed to say I've never made a pie by myself. I need recipes! For now we're sticking with a late brunch/lunchtime party. Of course I already have the dessert table stocked. For lunch I want everything to have a light summer taste. Chicken salad croissants with fruity chicken salad and side salad with peaches & pecans. Relying on replies and comments for the rest :)
On a trip to our local Target I passed up these fill-in invitations and decided handmade invites would happen next year. I also scored these balloons from the dollar section as well as the cute little wood rounds from the craft aisle. As for the birthday girl, I found this shimmery little number at baby gap last week. Between in-store sales and coupons I only ended up paying a little over 5 bucks for it. Momma loves a sale.
Today, Justin and I tried to get Harper's 11 month picture with her chalkboard but girlfriend was not having any of it. My recent photos consist of 2 crying, 1 looking at her dad, 1 at the tv, and approximately 900 crawling away. More on that later in the week. Lastly, are first birthday traditions a thing? If so, what are they? We're new to the kid party game :)
Happy day before the day before the weekend!
