Norahs 3rd Birthday- Mermaid Party

I can't believe our little Beeps is three years old!

Boy does time fly!

Knowing this would be her last birthday as an only child, I wanted to give her a special memory with her friends. For months she was asking for a bounce house and we eventually gave in and reserved one. Unfortunately, Southern California was hit with the most rain I've ever seen that left our city flooded beyond belief and we had to cancel it.

Cue, Ariel! Something I swore I'd never do (hire a princess). In the end I'm so glad I did because the girls LOVED her and Norah can't stop talking about it. She just can't believe Ariel was at her birthday party!

Tim got me a Cricut for Christmas and I was so intimidated to even open the box but I saw this as the perfect opportunity to attempt some projects and it was so much fun! I may have gone a little Cricut crazy.

I found her leggings on Amazon and I made her shirt with, yep, you guessed it! The Cricut!

Ariel arrived with a bag of tricks. Face painting, balloon animals, story time, singing and dancing and of course a photoshoot!

In the words of the birthday girl, "BEST MERMAID PARTY EVER!"

 My mama heart is full.

Are You Kitten Me? Norah's Cat themed 2nd Birthday.

Today we had a small family birthday lunch for our (almost) 2 year old!

This girl is obsessed with kitties so the theme of her party was, "Are You Kitten Me? Norah is Two!"

She loved her kitten party dress and ears!

With the exception of some store bought paper goods, I made the decorations for the "pawty" ;)

I had so much fun making this cake!

She partied so hard she passed out on the couch at 5:30!

Kitten Dress: H&M

Paper Plates, Table Cloth & Cat Bunting: Party City

Cat Ears, Cake, and Centerpieces: DIY

Bohemian/Desert Vibes First Birthday

For Norahs party I really wanted to keep the costs low with the main cost being the Taco guy.

Luckily I was able to repurpose a lot of the supplies I already had and they fit the theme wonderfully!

I had a basket of flower crowns for guests to wear

I used all artificial flowers and succulents that I already had from my Jenna Leslye Designs supplies.

Norahs tunic and bellbottoms are from Baileys Blossoms

Thanks to my Aunt and Sister for taking photos for us!
