Dino Party Decorations

We got to celebrate little man’s 3rd birthday during quarantine, so we didn’t get to have our usual huge bash. But I still wanted to do some decorations to help his day feel special. His birthday is in late April, so all I had to do was hit up the Easter clearance section for some awesome Dino decor!

Dinosaur Party Centerpiece

An easy centerpiece idea is to tape dinosaur footprints along the length of the table, like a table runner. Then just sprinkle Easter grass along the way.… Read the rest

DIY Ice Cream Party

I was super excited to style this Ice Cream Party for Crystal Creamery after learning about their new line of ice cream with cleaner ingredients! I’ve really tried to be more conscientious about the things that my family has been eating (and what’s in it!) and so has Crystal! Crystal is a California local Creamery where milk is delivered fresh daily from local, family-run farms. Their ice cream now has:

No high fructose corn syrup (likely the second ingredient in a store brand ice cream, take a peek next time you’re grocery shopping!)

I had such a blast planning this Ocean party for my 5-turning-6 year old. At first he said he wanted a megaladon themed party. Then it was a dolphin party. Then it was a shark party. Finally I suggested we do the whole ocean and he thought that was the greatest idea since sliced bread. I’m here to share all the details from decorations and games to free printables and shopping links. I got ya covered!

Second Oldest was baptized in October and I felt like I would be an old-pro at it this time since I’ve been through one before. ( See my oldest son’s baptism here). But somehow I kept having to refer to my blog post to remember how to do things! Haha. He actually got baptized the week that the announcement came out from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints that any member of the church could stand as a witness to a baptism. So that was pretty neat for him to pick his older brother and Grandma to be the witnesses.… Read the rest

Rustic Farmhouse Thanksgiving Tablescape

10 / 22 / 1910 / 22 / 19

Last Thanksgiving, the kids and I unexpectedly flew to my parent’s home in New Orleans after all our local schools were shut down as a result of the Camp Fire. It was such a tragic event for our community, but a little silver lining was that I got to spend Thanksgiving with family for the first time in a long time! It was nothing short of a miracle that we were able to find reasonably priced tickets around Thanksgiving at such late notice. And really a blessing to be away from all the horrendous smoke.
