Definitely not much, and it was apparent in this wonderful Whimsical Girls First Birthday Party that was planned! First time mom and event designer and coordinator, Brittany Hitch, decided to celebrate 1
Cute little Isabelle turned 1, and MAN is she CUTE!!! I took these photos of her one sunny afternoon. They turned out so darling I just had to post them. This cutie pie just sits around taking it all in, rarely smiling. I loved capturing her cute little looks and faces in their natural form. She is just such a calm and observant child...just like mine {NOT!} {Yep, I am that old that I just said "not" after a not-true statement} This picture is actually one of my favorites. Isa is just sitting there like, "Let me know when you are done." Just for information sake, I don't have full photoshop. I bought Photoshop Elements 9 last year with my tax return, and after a well paid-for class from Erin at TexasChicks, I learned how to use it. This photo was colored with the "Soft Faded" action available for free from ThePioneerWoman. It is by far my most loved action, and the best part is it didn't cost a cent! I actually took these pictures a while back, making use of my basket of balloons twice in one day. I used them for an infant shoot after this toddler shoot. Talk about getting the most out of my money. I have been dying to try a balloon picture, but needed to stock up on the shoots to make spending $20 on balloons worth it :0) This was my shabby chic set up. I made the burlap banner and hung it from the trees. Speaking of trees, it is really hard to find trees in this part of Arizona. We don't have hardly any, especially trees with lush leaves and such. This little spot was a super special find for me! One of the only green areas in miles. I am super loving the chance to practice my photography skills on such adorable subjects! Thanks Isabelle for being so darling AND easy to work with!!!
I had a great time planning and hosting Owen's jungle theme first birthday! Seriously, I love to do this party stuff... especially the dessert table!!! I made this bunting banner with scrapbook paper and then displayed in on a large picture that I wrapped with a neutral gift wrap. Gahhh, I couldn't wait any longer to show you this super cute snake! I just sliced sub sandwhiches into small appetizer size pieces and laid out the pices with a litte curve to them on the food table to look like a snake. I used toothpics to put on the olive eyes and cut a red pepper to look like a tongue. So easy and so cute! Here's an over-view of the food. Main table is snacks and drinks and the buffet to the left is desserts I hung some streemers from the ceiling and cut a few jungle leaves from scrapbook paper to jungle the place up a bit :) A closer look at the food table. Mostly veggies and fruit so guests were able to justify splurges at the dessert table - haha! I attached zebra scrapbook stickers to one of my punch jars and simply poured in green hawaiin punch and pepple ice (I buy pebble ice at Sonics) for this fun colored "jungle juice" For the water bottles I removed the labels and then wrapped the bottle in zebra packing tape. This was also really simple to do and I love the impact it makes! Finally a shot of the desserts!!! The cake pops were pretty darn cute! At least it was pretty easy to tell what they were supposed to be :) tigers lions and monkeys! I have the bakerella cake pop book and used that for my directions with just a few tweeks. Of course you can't have a party without cupcakes (at least not in this household!) The cupcakes were vanilla or chocolate with a marshmallow creme filling and green-vanilla buttercream - YUM! The cupcake toppers were actually dollar store stickers that I stuck on scrapbooking paper and cut around. I hot glued the cut outs to toothpics to finish them up. Animal crackers were a must for this jungle party! THE CAKE: This adorable monkey cake is a very yummy banana cake with chocolate buttercream. I found the directions for decorating it here and just made a few changes... for instance I made mine a double layer... cause doesn't that sound soooo much better than just one layer of delicious banana cakes?? I found the banana cake recipe here and I would highly recommend trying it out for yourself! Owen also had a little chocolate smash cake to enjoy. He started out nice and slow but then mommy got involved and things went crazy! must eat more cake A very happy sugar-high birthday boy: love him! Just can't believe how fast a year has gone by, I remember when this little dude was born as if it were just a few weeks ago... sniff sniff. Yay for happy memories!
So my little bug turned one last weekend! Where did the year go? I feel like I was just posting about our brand new baby and now he’s quite the active little boy. But enough of the sappy m…

Awe, I LOVE to look back at my little one's milestones in life! Isn't that what parties are all about?! Celebrating the big and small and having a "mark" to remember them by. Plus, it is a great way to gather family and friends to laugh, eat, and love. Today I am sharing the Peaches and Cream | Sweet as a Peach 1st Birthday Party that I styled for my little peach. Her birthday is in the summer so it was a perfect time for celebrating the ripening, sweet, juicy fruit on the tree and my sweet, juicy girl too! I could just eat her!! I can't nail down my favorites from this celebration, but some you should look out for when scrolling through the pics include the following: Peach Cookies 1st Year Picture Display Frame Peach Crate Installations Guest Favors Delicious Minimalistic Cake Farm Fresh Peach Stand Peach Candies Perfect 1st Birthday Smash Cake Just like I have always said, I would love to invite ALL of you to every party I style!
