What Does The Fox Say? {Fun New Birthday Invitation}

 
So what does the fox say? One may never know! 😉 Sorry in advance if I put that song in your head. I was brainstorming the other night and thought of this fun saying to put on a first birthday invitation (can be done for any number birthday, really) and just LOVE how it came out!
 It’s the perfect neutral invitation for your fox loving little boy or girl. I adore the vibrant colors and the bunting across the top of the invite. You can purchase the digital file in my etsy shop here. As always, adding on professional printing is always available if printing yourself is not your thing! So what do you think? Super fun, right?! 🙂

Hope to meet many of you!! XOXO

New Handmade Holiday Signs

 
 My husband has been working hard on some fresh, new holiday signs this year. I just love these adorable North Pole signs – they are handmade and even light up! The lights are battery operated and can be set to twinkling or on/off.  They are just the cutest and pictures don’t do them justice!

 
You can purchase the North Pole sign in our etsy shop – local customers can pick them up to save on shipping! 🙂
Ryan also created a fun new Reindeer Crossing Sign based off of our popular Construction Sign. I just love this – and it also features the battery operated lights. I personally love them set to twinkling the best!
Purchase one of these unique signs today in my etsy shop to get in time for the holidays! Which one is your favorite? I can’t wait to start decorating in a few weeks!
Pssst. Have you ordered your holiday photo cards yet? If not, what are you waiting for? I have tons of fun new designs you have to check out! XOXO

Happy Halloween!

Hi friends! I hope you all had a SPOOKtacular Halloween yesterday! Cami wanted to be a Witch this year and she reminded everyone that she was a GOOD Witch! Cracks me up! I made a little collage from over the years and can’t believe we just celebrated her FIFTH Halloween. She’s getting so big – I say this all the time but I just can’t believe how fast time flies. 
 We had fun BOO-ing a few of our friends and family a few weeks ago. If you haven’t done it before, I highly recommend it for next year. Cami had a blast and thought it was so cool to “sneak” to their doorstep and secretly leave some goodies. Love it.

Hope you had a great night – next up is my favorite – Thanksgiving! XOXO

Love of the Week – Black + White Stripes

I think I’m going to try something new and dedicate every Friday to post what I’m currently crushing on. Over the past few months, I have a new found love for black and white stripes. Clothes, shoes, weddings, home decor you name it and it just makes me happy. I’m all about color but there’s something about the simplicity of black and white stripes that just speaks to me. It’s classic, timeless and modern all at the same time.

Check out my Pinterest board that shows my appreciation for black and white stripes. I’m seeing it everywhere in stores and I’m loving it! So tell me, what are you crushing on right now?!

My favorite GIRL parties – first half of 2013

Last week I shared my favorite BOY parties so far this year – check it out here. Now, I’m excited to share my five favorite GIRL parties for the first half of 2013! {I know it’s already August so I’m a bit late!}
It’s beyond hard to narrow it down to five when there are hundreds of amazing parties out there but these just speak to my heart. I am a lover of bright, fun colors so it’s pretty obvious as to why these are some of my most favorite. So many beautiful and amazing details – I wish I had half of their talent…seriously. Don’t faint from the cuteness you’re about to see….be sure to click on the links above each photo so you can check out their parties and details in full!



Amazing, right?! I die over those adorable grass umbrella huts Lynlee made for her guests to sit around. The pink + aqua color palette from the Horses and Hairbows party makes my heart race. Pink, Purple and Doc McStuffins are just a few of my daughter’s most favorite things and this party just ROCKS. The beautiful sparkly details from the unicorn party are just fantastic. And last but not least, who knew a simple heart could go so far and the rainbow heart party looks so pretty + fun! Rainbow parties are always one of my favorites. Hope you enjoyed – what are your favorite details? XOXO
