Rock Star Party

August 31, 2010 By admin

We recently celebrated my oldest daughter’s 6th birthday with a Rock Star Party. She loves Hannah Montana, music and dressing up so she couldn’t wait for this party and I will say that she definitely helped me with the planning process!

I had my daughter’s pictures taken a couple weeks before the party and luckily I got a couple of great shots to use for the party. I absolutely LOVE the great work from Laura at Watermelon Photography! You can find her blog here.

All three of my girls…

Here is my Rock Star before the party in the shirt that I made her and the skirt that she picked out!

This is the sign on the front door.

I had a “red carpet” (that was black so it would match) with all of the girls names on stars. This led to the stage area where the girls got to perform and sing their favorite Hannah Montana songs.

I set up this table with a backdrop of pink and black fabric to resemble a concert stage.

My daughter was VERY excited about the cake the was made special just for her by her Grandpa and Godfather!

I always set out a book at my kids birthdays so that family and friends can leave birthday messages or special memories from the past year.

For party favors, I made bags that had a CD, pop rocks and hair clips in them.

After all of the girls arrived, we went to the Backstage Dressing Room to get ready for our concert. They got their nails done along with hair and make up.

I made a Concert Concession Stand with snacks for all of the parents.

The food consisted of popcorn, pizza on a stick, chocolate covered pretzels, fruit kabobs and rock candy.

This is a banner that I made for the mantel and I hung pictures of my daughter from this past year on stars that hung by her name.

My dad made this guitar pinata and obviously did a great job with it!!!

Look at how BIG it was!

Here is just a little of the action…

My brother introduced the girls one by one as they walked down the “red carpet” to the stage.

The girls put on a great concert for everyone!!!

This was such a fun party and all of the girls loved being able to dress up and feel like a ROCK STAR!!!

What’s keeping me busy…

My little bundle of joy surprised us on Thursday and decided he was ready to greet the world!!! We have three girls already and this is our first boy which should be an adventure. I should be back to “normal” (not sure I am ever normal) soon. Look for my daughter’s rock star party very soon.

Also be sure to keep up with more information and photos on our Facebook page or on Twitter.

Blue and Brown Baby Shower

August 25, 2010 By admin

A couple of weeks ago I had a couple of amazing friends host a baby shower for me. This is my fourth child so I didn’t want a big elaborate shower but it was so much fun because this will be my first boy. I am so accustomed to pink and frilly things that I actually like the change with all of the boy things.

This is a wreath that they hung on the front door with the adorable invitation that was sent to all of the guests.

My very good friends mom made all of the onesies that hung on the mantel. I just love these!

I am using brown and blue in the nursery so the cake went great with my colors!

The wonderful table with delicious food!

My friend made these adorable chocolate favors for the guests to take home.

There was a table set up for the guests to address thank you note envelopes. This is such a great idea for the mom-to-be because it saves a little more time!
