Okay these are the cutest cupcakes I’ve ever made (way better than my cute pig cupcakes!). Ethan had his Monster Party today and these were a big hit. I am a firm believer that cupcakes are so much better than cake for a kid party because each kid got a one of a kind monster [...]
Ethan just turned 5 years old this week and I can’t believe how quickly time passes. He is still my baby even though he is the oldest of our 3 kids! He is getting so big but he’s still at a really fun age and he still gives me kisses and hugs in front of [...]
I am getting ready for Ethan’s 5th Birthday parties, yes parties! He is having a Dino Party this Sat and then a Monster Party the next Sat (what can I say the kid has a lot of friends so we divided it up between playgroup friends and school friends). Anyway since I’m in party mode [...]
I decided to try a NEW art project for this post and its related to me recently starting to drink coffee (I’m 31 and never liked coffee but 3 kids make you tired enough to try it!). I had heard you could make coffee dough with the used grounds and I looked it up on [...]
I made pig cupcakes for the birthday party and I thought I’d pass on the idea. At Easter I had made very similar bunny cupcakes that I saw on the Family Fun website. When I found pink marshmallows at the store I knew I needed to alter the recipe and make pigs. I used pink [...]
Today was Jamie and Ben’s Barnyard Birthday Bash! It went pretty well, the weather was perfect and the kids had fun. I tried to keep it simple since it was at a farm and not our house. We stuck with pizza, pretzels and pig cupcakes for food and filled a big bucket with ice and [...]
Our boys are at great ages for Chuck E Cheese and for getting messy. So we had a fun night of games and cake to celebrate Ben’s birthday. Here are some of the messiest pictures from CEC and one from our lunch at Friendly’s. It was a super messy day! I think a little mess [...]
I can’t believe Jamie is one year old already! Poor baby, she didn’t have a good birthday. Her day started with her waking early morning due to teething pain so I fed her in our bed while John and I tried to get some more sleep. As soon as John got out of bed Jamie [...]
So I lied, I do have a couple pictures to add to the site that Alexa, one of the mom’s from Ethan’s playgroup, took. Heather makes the best cookies in the world and this is a great picture of Ethan sampling the frosting of the cow cookies. Remember the theme: Barnyard Birthday Bash. Also remember [...]
Today I stayed home from work to help Heather get ready for Ethan’s big party. My little guy is turning two and we are having a Barnyard Birthday Bash. All of Ethan’s playgroup friends are coming over and it should be a great time. We went to our favorite farm this morning and picked apples, [...]
