Zion’s Color Me Happy 5th Birthday Party

We recently celebrated Zion’s 5th birthday and even mother nature gifted us with a present of the most perfect day. Besides Zion turning 5, there are so many other things about him and how much he has accomplished that also merited being celebrated. A colourful theme seemed very fitting plus that meant I didn’t really have to purchase much since I already had lots of colourful party items.  This post may be a bit long so I apologize in advance; lots of pictures!

I was inspired by a cake I saw online

A picture wall is tradition at our parties. See here and here.

I made Z’s initial from these look alike light bulbs I scored at AC Moore. They are still mounted on the wall…

I purchased coloured cups from the Dollar Store and made a back drop for a photo booth. It was time consuming, but so worth it! Everyone loved it too!

Little Ian’s bookcase was used to display the food. It was perfect for the colourful theme.

In addition to a bounce house, there was a balloon maker who also doubled as a face painter.

The favor table.

Each child received a rainbow colored magic spring.

These balloons were an easy way to add festive cheer to the front of the house. They were kept in place by golf tees.

A number 5 wreath was the perfect addition to the front door. It even lights up!  Though, I have many more pictures, I think I should probably stop here with the pictures. The party was really fun and I am thrilled I enlisted the services of photographer, Patty of Patty K Photography. She did a superb job capturing it all. xx

Zion Turns Five!!

Zion, my prince, turns five today and I cannot believe it!  Happy birthday Zion!  You are so loved my sweet boy. Muah!

I have been in party planning mode as we will be celebrating Z’s birthday on Saturday. You can probably tell lots of diy-ing is taking place just based on that post it oversized number five above!  Those are left over post its that I used for my alternative Christmas tree last year. Happy Tuesday! xx

Happy Birthday Baby Z!

Baby Zion, my sunshine, my life, turns two today! Happy Birthday Zion! Mommy and Daddy love you more than you love bananas!. He could eat bananas for breakfast, lunch and dinner. I hope everyone has a spectacular weekend and a warm welcome to my lovely new readers!  XX

Baby Z is in the house + Guest Post.

Hi everyone. I know, i know, i’m bald thanks to my mom. Yea, i'm not too enthused about the new look either. The last time you saw me, i had lots of hair but, alas, mom decided to cut it all off(probably because i never fail to aggressively demonstrate my hatred for all hair grooming items, thus making it nearly impossible for my mom to groom my hair). I am happy to say though that i was happy to see some hair when i looked in the mirror this morning:-). I’m a hair wearing kind of guy-ahem-baby. Anyway, i digress... I am supposed to really be telling you that my mom will be elsewhere today. Yes, she is guest posting over by the lovely Charlotta of Space for Inspiration.

Please go and check out my mom’s guest post if you haven't already:-). I know that she would appreciate it! Thank you all and have a great Wednesday! I wonder if she'll let me visit again soon; i kinda like it here...
