It all began with this shirt… When our faves from Knuckleheads gifted Little Man his very own button down Hawaiian shirt, we were excited for him to grow into it. But for some reason, we just couldn’t figure out on what occasion he could wear it, in spite of the fact he is in every […]
The 16 Essentials for throwing a Kid’s Rockstar Party :: Thanks to Cricut
Throwing a kid’s rockstar party is no joke. It takes a lot of little details to fine “tune” such an undertaking. Especially when the rockstar is your 8-year-old-rock-lovin’-heavy-metallin’-daughter.

Minnie Mouse Birthday Party – Bows and Bow Ties
“If you can dream it, you can do it” Walt Disney And dream of a Minnie Mouse birthday party, she did.

While […]

It’s a ninja girl birthday party and it’s all about fancy kicks, and turning six!

How to Prepare a DIY Ninja Birthday Party on a Budget
It’s a SIX & KICKS DIY ninja birthday party for Little Mama this year! Where did the last 6 years go? Didn’t we throw her a Toy Story Jessie Party for her 5th birthday just the other day?

DIY Jessie Toy Story Party ACTIVITIES :: On a Budget
We survived the prep, we sorted out the food, we finalized the decorations. So, what next? Planning the Toy Story party activities was our most favourite part of the process. We brought out the toys. We soaked in the vibrant, bold colours. We jumped in the inflatable houses. We had an all around great time! I […]
DIY Jessie Toy Story Party FOOD :: On a Budget
What’s a party without food, right? That’s our philosophy anyway. Even better, Toy Story Party Food! You can have all the decor and do all the preparation you want, but at the end of the day, those kids are looking for some good eats. Then again, if food isn’t top priority to the party planner, […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: DECOR
Little Mama‘s DIY Jessie Toy Story Party was ready to go after a few weeks of preparation (see our Toy Story party prep post here). We were so excited, and a little… overwhelmed. Little Mama noticed she was matching from head to toe with her decor but didn’t quite know how to process all of […]
A DIY Jessie Toy Story Party on a Budget :: PREPARATION
A Jessie Toy Story Party… On a budget. What the prep!?!? Not too long ago (okay, a million years ago… we were a little behind with this post), Little Mama turned into the not-so-little 5 year old she always dreamed of becoming. Even as a 3 year old, she kept talking about turning 5 and […]

So amazed, that she decided she wanted to celebrate her 4th birthday, not just with Jasmine… but AS Jasmine. In fact, we all got into the spirit. Meet pseudo Aladdin, and the ultra pseudo […]
Looking Back at LD’s First Birthday – A Tiny St. Patrick’s Day Leprechaun
Now that little mama is only days away from celebrating her 4th birthday, I am feeling especially nostalgic. Particularly for this tiny leprechaun… …born mere hours before St. Patty’s day, donning green kisses and sequin a year later, on her very first birthday. As I plan her big bash celebrating 4 amazing years – at the […]
Dreaming of a White Christmas (with the Big Guy in Red)
Last weekend, we were invited to attend the annual family Christmas party at the Castle. LD leapt at the chance to break all winter season rules of not wearing white (when it comes to Rules of Fashion … “BAH HUMBUG”, says she). We were all very excited, because this was her chance to meet Santa, […]
Christmas in a Castle {Wordless Wednesday} {Linky}
One of our many holiday parties this year was especially exciting for little mama, as she experienced Christmas in a Castle. She had the time of her life! It was so glorious – I couldn’t help but feel like a princess myself! From crafts for the kids, to trimming the tree (okay – so it […]
Party Like a Rockstar!
A couple weeks back, LD was invited to what we considered to be, one of the coolest, hippest, most memorable Mini-Rockstar parties to date. Her Godsis Big C, and God Bro B2 – went ALL OUT and ROCKED IT OUT for their joint birthday at Music Stars and Masters in West Los Angeles. Anything a child could […]
