Lil S turns 1! We wanted to have a fun party for Lil S but we also wanted to keep it simple. Cough, cough….not do the obsessive party throwing that I usually do. We teamed up with another birthday buddy in play-group and had a birthday play-date! I held back the reins as much as I could, luckily time is not always on my side so it really wasn’t that hard to do! But I still wanted something memorable, you only turn 1 once after all. Here is a look at S and D’s 1st Birthday Play-date!
I made a birthday banner for the honorees! I used scrapbook paper and ribbon, super easy to do!
We had an animal themed party for the birthday duo! I used coordinating scrapbook paper for the tables.
We gave away these adorable plates from Target as our party favors.
Just a few days later we celebrated S’s birthday again with family and also celebrated Mother’s Day! This time I decided to do a Garden Theme since her birthday outfit had a caterpillar on her shirt! I love the way it turned out! And more importantly, Lil S enjoyed both of her special days!
A touch of flowers to add the garden feel!
Shoprite Cake Hack! I find that when I am short on time and energy (which seems like everyday lately) I cheat a little on my birthday cakes. Instead of doing an elaborate homemade cake with homemade marshmallow fondant, I just ask Shoprite to make a plain butter cream cake for me. Don’t worry, the inside is full of strawberry filling! I then take the cake and decorate it to my liking! It’s so much easier and it is decorated exactly how I want it. I love the way it came out.
Lil S loves her Shoprite Hacked Cake. Happy Birthday Sweetpea!
