So we got our first paying gig. We were hired to put on an Amazing Race party for a girl turning 12. We were up for the challenge.
An Amazing Race Birthday Party
Party
A Woodland 1st Birthday Party
Well it happened. My baby turned 1. Even though I wanted to curl up in the corner and pretend it wasn’t happening, we celebrated, of course.
One day, I was looking for ideas for her birthday and came upon this fabric on Pinterest. I showed Meghan, we fell in love and that’s where the inspiration for the entire party came from…
…this swatch of fabric.

I have a friend named Mindi who is super creative and extremely talented when it comes to anything pretty or crafty! She just recently posted some pictures of the birthday party she did for her daughter on Facebook. I asked if I could showcase her party on the good ole’ blog.
Quinn’s Toy Story Birthday Party

My littlest turned five this past weekend. Yep, my fifth child officially turned five at 5:55pm on Saturday. Moms always say they can’t believe how fast time goes when it comes to their children aging. That’s because it’s absolutely true!! Time flies and before you know it, your baby isn’t a baby anymore! Enough of me crying about it…. Let’s get on with the party!
Our St. Patty’s Party
As long as I have known Lara, she has always made a fun St. Patrick’s Day themed dinner for her family each year. I usually just put up decorations to celebrate and maybe buy a bag of See’s candies gold coins. This year we decided to team up: her food and my decorations.

Here is our table all put together! All ready for our kids to enjoy.
An Airplane Baby Shower

I had a friend of mine find out she was going to have a boy after having two girls! With her husband being an air traffic controller and their nursery being decorated in vintage airplanes, I thought an airplane-themed baby shower was fitting!!
Ray’s Race
The 1st Annual Ray Goodfellow Memorial Pinewood Derby Race
Let me give a little background on this next party…
The teenager in this picture is my father-in-law, Ray. He passed away when my husband, Ryan, was 18. Ryan and I started dating a few years later, so I never met Ray. It didn’t take me long, however to realize how special Ray was to Ryan, how much he was loved and missed by him. Wonderful moments we have shared through the years (our wedding day, Ryan’s graduation from the police academy, the birth of our babies) were always a little bittersweet knowing Ray wasn’t here to enjoy it with us.
Disney’s Carsland Birthday Party
Welcome to Carsland… or as we called it that day, Colesland! I found a picture online of the Carsland landscape and added the text with pictures of Cole throughout the year. I had it blown up at Staples and glued it to a piece of wood for the welcome sign to the party.
Disneyland Themed Baby Shower
“To all who come to this happy place… Welcome” to a Disneyland themed baby shower!!
I threw a baby shower for a fellow Disney loving friend who adopted the cutest little boy.
Mad Hatter’s Unbirthday Tea Party
A very merry unbirthday to you… to you!!
My girls all have summer birthdays. I had promised them a party but the summer kept us so busy that a party never happened. After feeling really guilty, I came up with a great idea! I’d throw an unbirthday party so it wouldn’t feel as weird being so late. I had all of their friends come with character inspired fashions (not a literal costume, just clothes that are reminiscent of a particular character),
Winnie the Pooh Baby Shower
“Sometimes the smallest things, take up the most room in your heart.” – Winnie the Pooh
And a new baby most certainly finds a way to steal your heart! This baby shower was for a young lady who I’ve known since she was a girl. She was having her first baby and the nursery was going to be vintage Winnie the Pooh. I thought that would make a great baby shower theme!
Football Tailgate Baby Shower
 Welcome to a Football Tailgate Baby Shower!

| The food table!! Complete with football field runner made out of a brown paper roll, hand-painted numbers and lines and topped off with X and O confetti. The X and O’s are the small wooden ones found at Michaels. They, as well as the cheer megaphones were spray painted to match the decor. |
