Bobby's Easter Photos Are Here!

We took Bobby to have his Easter pictures taken a couple weeks ago. Bobby loved the girl taking his picture; he wouldn't stop flirting with her. I'm telling you, this boy can flirt! He smiles and plays shy, it's hysterical. This was the first time we went to a studio to have pictures done. I was so happy with the experience. The staff was awesome and the price was great. The only negative was the wait time was long, we had an appointment and it still was an hour wait. You have to wait about a week and a half to get your pictures, but they're to die for! The suit is Nautica, brought at Marshall’s and his shoes are from BRU. I can’t wait to have him wear it again on Easter Sunday at a local Easter egg hunt. We’re getting ready for Easter here we started dying eggs. That was fun with my rough 1 year old! Now I need to do our baskets and finish the eggs.

I scanned the pictures onto the computer, so they look a little grainy. I was thinking about sending Easter cards, do people do that? 

Let me know what you think, and if you have pictures posted of your LO's Easter outfit I would love to see. Also what does your family do for Easter and what do you have left to do? XoXo

Bobby's Superhero 1st Birthday!

 I wanted to share with you all the details of Baby B's Superhero 1st birthday party. We had it at a restaurant near our house, and invited about 20 people. I pleased with the way it turned out. it was my 1st time planning a party like this. There are so many inspirational party decor blogs out there and that's where a ton of my ideas came from. The decorations were DIY for the most part, and cost me no more then $100. I hope you all enjoy the pictures

The cupcake stand was made myself, which I talked about in my  party planning post. The plates and tablecloth were from Walmart, and are still available if your interested. The background is streamers that I hot glued to a project board. 

 The cupcake toppers I made myself using Picnik. If you'd like to know how message me for details

There is the birthday boy in his shirt that I had made from an Etsy store link here. The hat is made from glitter card stock paper purchased at MMicheal's. The "1" is felt that I cut out and hot glued. Super easy, but he didn't keep it on long!

The cape I made myself and just used a tutorial I found online. I also made one for the kids how came.

 The cake was made by my Aunt, how did an amazing job. I think it looks great and was so happy she took the time to do it.

 The blue icing dyed everything blue, even his hands! It was so fuuny. But to be honest, he didn't really east the cake! I thought he would love it, but he just liked to play with it. P

The happy birthday boy! We had a great time and it's crazy to think a year has gone by already, butI'm sure all you mommies feel the same way. I can't wait to see how he grows over the next year!

Party Picture Preview!

We had our little mans Superhero Bash this past weekend, and I couldn’t be more please with the way it came out. I’m so thankful for all the friends and family that came to help celebrate a successful year. The photographer we hired was Melonie from Name Your Own Price Photography, and she was wonderful.  She’s just starting her own photography business. If your in the Philadelphia area, I would recommend her for sure. She’s reasonably priced, friendly, professional, and most of takes great pictures. Here a few of the teasers that she shared with us, and I couldn’t wait to show you guys. Once I have all the pictures I’ll be doing a detailed party post.

Monogrammed Key Ring Holder

I’ve been loving all things monogrammed. So my newest projects incorporate our monogram. It’s a classic way to customize your home.

We moved into our new apartment a week ago. I’ve been unpacking for the most part, and trying to get everything organized. Here are two projects I’ve completed, for our new home.

I love this key ring holder and think it’s going to look great that the door, above a table I have yet to complete. I’ll be sure to show you the complete look once it’s done!

I showed you these pillows that I did a couple weeks ago, and finally got around to putting the finishing touches on them. I love the monogrammed pillow!

This is what you you see as soon as you walk in. I like it, but feel like it looks a little sparse. I think it needs something more. What would you add? I plan on painting soon, but wanted this up to see how I like it.

I hope you are having a great week! I’m linking up to the link parties listed at the bottom of my page!

Baby B's 6 Month Photoshoot

Hey Ladies! Today I finally took B's 6 month photos even though he'll be 7 months next week. I'm slacking, but it's all good. At his 6 month check up he was 14lbs which puts him in the 10% for weight. He's tiny, but the doctor said that he's growing fine. He started crawling and now wants to pull himself up on everything! It's all about defense now, I try to block him from anything that can hurt him. He's definitely keep us on our toes. There hasn't been any teeth break through yet. He still isn't STTN but only wakes 1 or 2 times for the Binky. We did sleep training this month, and could not be happier with the outcome. I plan on doing another post about our experience with sleep training. Here are a few of the shots that I took at our house with my "set up", (if you can even call it that). He's such a ham with the camera, and always smiles when I bribe him with puffs!

This is my favorite picture!
