Out of all the events I've ever planned, this one might be my favorite. I believe there are certain milestones every parent looks forward to, and for me, one of those was planning a really fun and awesome first birthday party for Lachlan. When he was really little (we're talking just a few weeks old) I started thinking about some boy-friendly party themes. I decided pretty quickly that a dinosaur theme would feel light hearted, appeal to all ages, and above all else, be VERY fun. So in my pockets of free time over the last few months I had probably way too much fun coming up with all of the party details and boring my poor husband with fun facts and statistics about all things dinosaurs. I secretly have a thing for dinosaurs now. We also started building our guest list last summer but before we knew it we had this incredibly long list of names. So we needed to find a space to fit all of these people since we knew our home wouldn't get the job done. Because of [...]

The quest for the One Ring began on weekend in January at the house of a certain Hobbit. Decorated with giant Ents (paper trees) and a decal of a Middle Earth fellowship, the meal was a feast fit for a Dwarven King and Hobbit eleventy-first birthday party alike: Hobbit foods tend to be luxurious and abundant. We had a hoard of creatures coming over that ate even more than Hobbits; Teenagers! In preparation, we had treats from all over the Middle Earth. I have never bought into the idea that beautiful parties have to have a table covered with nothing but sweets. This meal spread was set out to please the eye but also to give the group of boys I had coming over something other than a sugar coma. We had lots of real food, (it definitely helped that Hobbit's only tolerate the very best food and drink!) and a few themed treats. And that's the way I like it. (I'll step off my soapbox now.) Menu: Egges (boiled eggs) 'Lifted' Carrots (carrots & ranch) Frodo's Fingers (pigs in a blanket) Gollum's Goodies (Swedish fish and gummy worms) HoneyCakes (mini coffee cakes) Bilbo's Berry Pies (mini pies) Lembas Bread (rice crispy treats in paper leaves) Sam's Po-Tay-To soup (potato soup) Grapes Cheese platter French bread "Lembas Bread! One bite is enough to fill the stomach of a grown man." -Legolas In the end, they were fed and ready to head into Middle Earth to find the One Ring. The activities were all in scavenger hunt style while searching for the next clue to defeat the hoard of orcs. The first set of trials were a walk through the dead marshes. They had to go through an obstacle course, and anyone who fell off of the obstacles they were grabbed by the dead. They had to start back at the beginning. "Careful now! Or Hobbits go down to join the Dead Ones, and light little candles of their own." - Golum The next part of the scavenger hunt was going through the tunnel to find a spiders egg. "It's the only way! Go in... or go back." - Golum The eggs were wrapped with several layers of clear packing tape and webbing and cotton batting. They had to break through all that to get to the egg (a extra large plastic egg) that had one of two things in it. Three eggs were filled with the light of Earendil, the elves favorite star, to help them get through the rest of the hunt: "I give you the light of Earendil, our most beloved star. May it give you light, when all other lights go out." - Galadril One egg was filled with baby spiders. Whoever ended up getting the spiders egg with the babies in it got wrapped up in 'webbing' by their fellowship... The next task in the scavenger hunt was to shoot the army of orcs that were about the cross the field of battle. As the kids lined up to shoot the arrows, some of the kids had never shot a bow before. So they got a mini lesson in archery as a party bonus! Then it was time to come back inside for the birthday-ing things. Like cake! The cake was a tribute to the hoard of gold that was held by Smaug, The Terrible. I tried to get the cake as close as I could to the style of this cover of The Hobbit. I took gold sequin candies and candy rocks and sugar gems to make the pile of riches at Smaug's feet. Little known secret about me: I don't like cake. So I do not bake cakes. This cake was two purchased cakes stacked on top of each other with some extra frosting, and then I decorated it. This trick saves me TONS of time! If there is a special request for a particular cake, sometimes I will bake it (like the rainbow cake for my daughter's rainbow party) but for the most part, this trick is my go-to for party cakes now. It's a big splash of party style that I don't have to work very hard for, and I'll take all the tricks for that I can get!

So Parker's first birthday is coming up. Well its really still a few months away but i'm an organizer, and a pinner. So I have actually been planning his first birthday since before he was even born. Being the first kids birthday party that I have ever put together, I thought I would go with a fool proof theme- Construction. Now the back room has been filling up with dump trucks, plates, and decorations for a while so I thought it was time to start working on the photo booth. I decided I want

10 OUT OF THIS WORLD SPACE CRAFTS
Marshal’s nursery is a perfect mix of rustic, industrial, and neutral elements. His nursery has been our favorite room in the home and we spend most of our time in here. This week, Marshal turned 3 months old and to document this time in our lives, we decided to have an in-home photo session. Today I wanted to share our design process of Marshal's nursery to hopefully inspire others and to give some helpful DIY tips. The first step was to prep the room. We cleared out and sold all our office furniture in order to make the nursery. We caulked, spackled, and painted all the trim and doors a fresh new white, painted the closet walls gray, and the bedroom walls a gray/blue color. We put in a new ceiling fan, hung our white wood wallpaper (from Wayfair) and then cleaned the entire room from top to bottom. The next step was to plan out everything before we started buying! The hardest part for me was finding boy crib bedding that I liked. I knew I wanted something neutral and cozy, but I also wanted it to have more of a design element than just plain colored bedding. I finally found our sheep quilt and matching crib skirt at Pottery Barn. After finding the bedding, deciding on everything else just fell into place. The two pillows in the nursery are both from Target and the rug is from Amazon. I loved how everything matched perfectly with the bedding. We found our crib, nightstand, dresser, and dresser top at BuyBuyBaby for an amazing price. We loved the gray, rustic element it brought to the room and I knew it would look perfect next to the white wood wallpaper we hung. I originally wanted a gliding chair to go in our reading corner, but I overestimated the size of our room, and ended up painting a wooden rocking chair that was gifted to us in black. We decided on bringing an industrial element to the room later on in the process, after purchasing the hanging book storage from Wayfair. My dad and stepmom made us the curtain rods, floating shelves, and hooks from plumbing pipes and then we painted it all with metallic dark steel spray paint. Our curtains are three $5 white twin sized flat sheets from Walmart. We attached them to the plumbing piped curtain rods by using curtain clips purchased from Amazon. I loved the way they turned out and the price was amazing! The hanging basket in the corner we made using baskets found at Ross and some white string. We also purchased the laundry basket from Ross. The growth chart and the wooden sign hanging above the dresser was purchased through Etsy. The wall sconces we found on Amazon and instead of wiring them, we attached Velcro to puck lights and placed them inside the sconce. The puck lights are remote controlled and the amount of light is perfect for changing diapers at nighttime. The milestone garland hanging above the dresser was purchased at Pottery barn. And 3ish months later we finally had a completed nursery! A lot of the extra stuff you see on the shelves were gifted to us at our baby shower. I hope my post helps someone in designing their nursery and my DIYs help save some money in the process. Good luck! Brittney Walkington.
