Happy 1st Birthday Jett!!!

I am a month or so behind. Better late then never!

Happy FIRST Birthday to our awesome son, Jett Michael!!!!! His birthday fell on a Thursday this year and we were excited to have his Halmunee (my mom) & Granpapa (my stepdad) to come vistit for Jett's birthday and birthday party. I decided to keep it low key on his actual birthday because I knew in a couple of days we will have tons more going on at the party.

We knew Jett loves balloons so I stopped on my way home and picked up a helium balloon. Jett was amazed by it and couldn't stop playing with it.

 I made Jett's favorite meal, Spaghetti & Meatballs (I posted this recipe January). I baked his cake the night before and left it out to ice the next day. Of course our 3 furbabies wanted to join in the festivities of Jett's birthday and decided to test out the cake and ended up eating it all themselves. So Daddy made a strawberry cake with cream cheese icing for Jett.

We brought the cake over with a candle and sang Happy Birthday. Jett didn't understand why everyone was singing and why mommy was bringing over this big plate with fire on it.

 
 We blew out the candles together and cut a couple of slices for the adults. And it was GAME ON. 1st piece of cake for Jett!


He had a great time and so did we watching him dive into his birthday cake. He was a mess, but it was worth it!! Can't believe he is a year already. It just felt like yesterday we were holding our 7lb 9oz little newborn. We love you our sweet son.

Jett's Vintage Train 3rd Birthday Party!

I was really excited about planning Jett's party because we would throw the party at our new home. So many possibilities!! I always try to brainstorm ideas months prior to the party so I can slowly come up with stuff and create them. I started to think of things that Jett was really into at this part of his life. He loves planes, but we did that for his 1st birthday. He loves tractor, we did that for his 2nd party. Now at almost 3 he loved trains and Superman! So I asked Jett in November, "Jett do you want a choo-choo train party or Superman?" and Jett yells, "CHOO CHOO TRAIN!!" PERFECT!! I was now thinking of things to do and how to decorate for this party. Of course everything has to start with the invitation. I created the invitation myself. I went with a old style boarding pass.  This invitation is no longer available at my etsy shop .  However, a new & improved one I made from my youngest son's birthday (below) is available  to pe...

Confessions of a New Mommy....I am unhappy....

This blog is really not the true topic you would be reading about (DIY stuff), but I need to get this off my chest. To make me sane again as a person. I am going to lay it all out in the open, which I rarely do (I feel like Jerry in the movie "Jerry Maguire" at this point ha!). Do you want to know what it is really like to be a first time mom? The truth not the "fluff" about how it is really hard, but the most rewarding thing EVER and so on and so on (it is rewarding, but there is more too it). Keep reading! I have officially been a mother to a live male human being for 18 weeks & 4 days. In the books you read and in the clasess you are told that this thing called being a mom is HARD because you will be so tired with the feedings, putting the baby to sleep and blah blah blah......  Yes yes  yes yes....I am tired & sleepy....with my son thinking I am an "all you can eat buffet" at 2 am & 4 am. Yes yes yes yes....I am frustrated that my baby do...

DIY-Chic, but Simple Hydrangea Centerpiece

I believe the hydrangea is one of the most chic flowers. It is so pure in its' delicate form with its' full blossom. Sweet, simple and elegant. I love all the variety of colors that they come in, but my favorite is the classic white. I had always wanted hydrangeas for my centerpieces at my wedding reception. I had received quotes from florists for just 1 white jumbo hydrangea in a simple 6" glass vase for at least $40+. Yes, just for 1 stem! I thought that price was just absurd because all it was just one stem they were sticking into the vase and not a whole bushel of them. Sooooo I started to research online of brides who had DIY their centerpieces using hydrangeas and I heard from them all that it was pretty easy task. So I decided to just do 1/2 of my centerpieces with fresh white jumbo hydrangeas. Best decision I ever made! Saved me a ton of $$$. I was going to purchase my jumbo white hydrangeas originally from Sam's Club who I have heard great things about. But I ...
