Girly Pool Party

This past weekend we celebrated my L.O.'s 2nd B-day party.  We had so much fun, despite the fact that it literally POURED RAIN an hour before the party, ruined half the decorations, and didn't allow us to have the party completely set up before the guests arrived.  Gotta love this Texas weather :)

I decided to do a pool party (cause lets face it, its so hot here in Texas I thought that would be a good way for everyone to enjoy themselves).  I wanted there to be lots of fun colors and treats but I wanted it to feel very girly.  I had my cousin take all the photos of the party so we could enjoy Lily and the Guests.  Seriously, check out her site she is one talented photographer! Thanks Hye Soo :)

If you have any questions about any of the decor or items in the photos please feel free to email me :)

Party Gifts

We celebrated my LO's 2nd Birthday tonight and we had SO MUCH FUN!  We had a little party by the pool with TONS of treats and Pizza.  We really had so much fun!  I just can't believe how fast time flies by.  It seriously feels like just yesterday we were celebrating her 1st b-day...

I had my very talented cousin take all the photos of Lily's party so we could really focus on Lily and have fun, so I will post pictures a little later this week.  However, I thought I would share with you a quick little thing I threw together for the party.  I found these Hannah Montana Tins in the clearance section at the party store for 50 cents and I thought they would work perfect for parting gifts at the party. 

Since the theme had nothing to do with Hanna Montana, I decided to change them up a bit so they would fit in more with the decor of the party.  

All it took for this project was a couple pieces of scrapbooking paper, a pencil, scissors, and modge podge.  All I did was trace out the shape of the tin, then cover the back of the paper in modge podge and place it on the tin.  And Voila you have yourself one cute, cheap, and easy to put together package for your guests at your next party.

Pictures of the party coming soon :)

Birthday Inspiration

I can't believe how fast time flies by!!! My little one is about to turn 2 in a few weeks and I can't even believe it!  It feels like just yesterday that she was born.  

So these last couple of days I have been thinking a lot about what kind of theme we are going to do for her birthday.  She loves the movie Tangled right now and the show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse so I've contemplated back and forth between the 2 of them, however, since we are away from most of our family and friends right now, there will probably be more adults at the party then kids, so I have come up with the idea of doing a pool party with a Girly Lemonade theme.  Here are a few photos of inspiration that I have found throughout the web of colors, treats, drinks, etc. that I am thinking of using.

We are planning on having a lemonade theme at the pool.  Isn't this so dreamy?!!

I am wanting to use these exact colors for Lily's party.

Loving the simplicity of these cupcakes. 

Love how they have this ice cream stored in individual little jars

Love the colors and all of the pretty candies in this photo.

I think it would be so fun to have an ice cream parlor. I just don't know if the ice cream could handle all this  Houston heat!

 All photos via The Hostess with the Mostess.  Seriously, if you are in need of great party inspiration check out her site!  She has so many great ideas and photos from all different types of parties. 

I will post pictures of Lily's party when we have it at the end of August.  I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that we will have good weather then so we can have it outside at the pool.  

Hope you all have a great weekend!!!
