Kate's 1st birthday party is coming up in a few weeks and I've been making a list of awesome first birthday party ideas to get me in the party mood. There are seriously hundreds of 1st birthday party ideas, but I've narrowed it down to eight fun and creative favourite party themes. The thumbnails below include links to the original sources: 1. Rainbow first birthday party ideas If you can't tell from the rest of my blog, I LOVE rainbow colours. Rainbow cake, rainbow balloons, rainbow plastic cutlery, rainbow cupcakes, rainbow fruit cups or veggie tray, rainbow plates, rainbow jello,
Other than the sweets and treats, the best part of a birthday party is definitely the games. But what if the party guests are too little to play Pin the Tail on the Donkey and Musical Chairs?
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...

I love a good DIY party, and today I am sharing all the awesome details of my son's 5th "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" birthday party. It was a simple party, but the easy and inexpensive special touches made it the ultimate DIY pirate party. A good invitation always sets the mood for a party, so I took a picture of my little pirate, and I added all the party info using a photo editing software. I used Picmonkey.com because it is free and very user friendly. Then, on the day of the party, as the guests arrived, they were greeted at the door by my three little pirates, and they were asked to choose a pirate name. My oldest son wrote out the name tags and stuck them on our guests. Once each guest chose a name, they were given pixie dust, a felt Jake headband, and a pirate hook. (Click on the links for the tutorials for these three simple party favors.) Once inside our home, our guests were transported into a pirate hideaway via a variety of easy DIY pirate party signage and decor. You can find all the adorable details and instructions here. The guests were served a variety of food and snacks that fit with our pirate theme. You can find all the details of our pirate fare here. And, of course, our Jake and the Neverland Pirate cake was a hit with our pint-sized pirate guests. You can find out how I made this cake (from a mix) using the step-by-step tutorial you can find here. Of course, we also had a bunch of pirate games & activities to keep my son's friends entertained and happy. We had a plank, a hook toss, a treasure hunt, and more. You can get all the game and activity details here. Then, at the end of the party, each of our guests left with their headband, pirate hook, pixie dust, and a little "pirate booty" loot bag. You can download your own free, printable "pirate booty" tags here. I loved all the little DIY details of this Jake and the Neverland Pirates party. I hope you ARRRRR inspired to host your own DIY pirate party. It really is a fun theme, and there countless opportunities to add special DIY details. ♥ Gina (aka East Coast Mommy)

As summer ends, so does my little baby’s sweet first year. Jack has just turned one! With half of our house under construction, I had considered having his party elsewhere. But in the end I knew I wanted to make that memory at home, despite the chaos. I believe that the walls of a home retain the memories of the past, and I wanted my home to know the memory of Jack’s first birthday. So on September 18, we celebrated our prince. In the days before his birthday I would watch early videos of Jack to see how much he’d grown in the last 12 months. While I watched the ones where he was just a few days old, all uncoordinated and cross-eyed, I realized just how foggy our memories are. Was that really my Jack? He was so tiny and so different from the walking, outgoing boy he is now. Why is it that so much of our past is forgotten or hazy? I think that’s why traditions are important. As we live our lives, the past quickly leaves us. We hold onto little fragments of memories, sweet moments that make us smile, but most of the past slips away, perhaps hidden […]
Last September my cousin, Josh, turned 9, and he is a huge fan of The Hobbit. So he wanted to have a Lord Of The Rings themed birthday party!! [see part 1 here] You can follow Grace's pinterest board to see where many of the ideas came from! Links below to other blogs where the Lembas Bread recipe and templets came from... The food and drink was one of the most fun parts! [And certainly the most important part, if you ask any decent hobbit]. I'll let the food speak for itself... "It comes in pints?? I'm getting me one!" Get the Leaf Wrapper Template and Lembas Bread Recipe [Grace used green cardstock tied with string instead of the craft foam they suggest]. "One small bite can fill a grown mans stomach" Drum roll please..... Surly there was something among these to tantalize your taste buds!! Leave a comment below if we left something out! What are your Middle Earth Food Favorites?? Blessings - Kerry **Up next? Peoples of Middle Earth! Check back soon!**
Who knew candy came in so many colors? Our Rock Candy puzzle is filled with neon-bright colorful rock candy paired with vivid bite-sized candies. This will be quite the challenge for any puzzles - but oh the sweet reward!
At first glance, the humble terra cotta garden pot isn't anything special.
