    90s Party

    Since we are officially over a month out from our community group’s 90s party, I figured I should share all the rad decorations we had. Keep in mind that as of the night before this party, I had zero {zilch, nada} decorations done. But I kept the decorations simple and Cory and Gracie were troopers and helped me pull off a totally phat 90s party. My cupcake stand was made out of boxes spray painted black and cassette tapes we ganked from the thrift store, spray painted and wicked glittered. Like the decorations, I kept the food simple and, like, so totally 90s including Bugles, homemade Dunkaroos, Ringpops and some…

    DIY 90’s Photobooth

    A few weekends ago, we had a 90’s themed party for our community group and the main attraction was definitely the DIY 90’s photobooth.

    I Scream FOUR Ice Cream- Baker Bea’s Ice Cream Birthday Party

    I scream, you scream. We all scream FOUR ice cream! Baker Bea turned four back in July and here’s the scoop on her ice cream birthday party on her very own playground! Now that I’m finally writing this post half a year later 😂, so much has changed. We had no idea that a few short weeks after her party, we would put an offer in on a new house and list ours for sale. It’s bittersweet recapping the final birthday post from our first home because honestly, not living there still stings a little lot. We love our new home- the location, our neighbors, etc. but I would be lying…
