Mister's Party by Park Avenue Events

Mister's birthday party came and went.  We had such a fabulous time, our friends and family are still talking about it.  I called myself planning early so I wouldn't be overwhelmed.  #WRONG.  A few weeks before the party I started to freak out and have nightmares that people would show up and I would have a bonnet on my head, wearing ratty sweats and a t-shirt.  I started venting on twitter.  After my rant, I got an email from Hester, the owner of Park Avenue Events saying she would like to help me out with the event I was planning.  Look at Gawd! 

Early 60's Birthday Party

I hope you all had a great weekend.  I'm switching things up a bit today.  Instead of Peyton doing her thang, you're getting the whole Baby Shopaholic family today.  Mister's big birthday party was almost 2 weeks ago and I'm still tired.  The party started out with a Mad Men theme but I was afraid it would get to corny and went with an early 60's theme instead. 

Happy Birthday Peyton!

I officially have a big girl on my hand.  My sweet baby doll, Peyton is 4 years old today *sheds one thug tear*.  If you want time to fly, have a baby!  Feels like I just brought her home from the hospital.

All I Want for My Birthday is a...

New handbag!  I'm so overdue for a new bag.  While in NYC, I spotted this gorgeous Coach Legacy Pinnacle bag.  This photo doesn't do it justice, you have to see it in person.

SuperPeyton Party Designs by PJ Tuttles

Today is Mister's Birthday!  Yes, his birthday is in the shadows of Peyton's.  Poor thing!  But we will #TurnUp tonight!

I'm still recouping from my crazy 4th of July week. Trying to play catch up! Peyton's 3rd Birthday party was a smash hit!  Big thanks to PJ Tuttles for making the SuperPeyton Party off the chain!  Why a Superhero theme you ask?  That was Peyton's idea.  She doesn't want to be a princess anymore, she is SuperPeyton!  I have no clue where this came from.  Lucky for me, PJ Tuttles has the cutest Superhero theme party decor!  I wanted to share some of the decor from the party.

Happy 3rd Birthday Peyton

I hope everyone had a fabulous 4th of July weekend!

My baby doll turned 3 years old on Sunday!  I can't believe how fast time flies!  Peyton celebrated with friends at her SuperPeyton Party at a indoor play facility.  I didn't get pictures of Peyton before the party started so these were taken after hours of play after the party was over and it wasn't easy.  And for some reason the pics of her fit are blurry : ( of course for her birthday, ugh!

Mama's Birthday Outfit

Thank You guys for all the wonderful Birthday Wishes!  It was a great one!  The party got started on Saturday night with a girls night out with my buddies!  I did not take any pictures before I headed out, so smart me decides to take some in the dark after being out and a few several drinks. 

Fly Power 2nd Birthday Party

Last Sunday I took Peyton to Little Power's aka Fly Power,  2nd Birthday Party!  Power is the little brother to celebrity kid dj, DJ Priest!  This party was filled with games, music and child performances!

DIY: Bling Chucks Taylor's

Thank you guys for all the Birthday wishes for Peyton! 

You guys saw Peyton's Berry Sweet Birthday outfit with the wonderful skirt from Giavanna's Closet and her blinged out Chuck Taylors!  I think every little girl should have a pair of blinged out shoes!  When I decided that I wanted her to have some chucks I checked out Etsy to find a seller only to find out they cost about $80-$100.  No Ma'am!  So the jewelry maker in me set out to make my own.  Pretty easy but just takes time. 

Peyton's Berry Sweet 2nd Birthday Party

So my baby is now 2!  Next thing you know I am going to be talking about her sweet 16!  Peyton had a blast at her Berry Sweet 2nd Birthday party at Kangazoom indoor play center!

Happy 2nd Birthday to Peyton!

Today my baby Peyton is 2 years old!  I can not believe how fast this time has went by!

I didn't get any good shots of my boots but they are faux leather ankle boots that were $40 from my shoe guy.

Go Shorty, It's Ya Birthday: Part 1

So Thursday was Peyton's 1st Birthday!  I took the day off to spend with her.

We started the day by taking her to breakfast. 

She wore this white halter dress from Burlington for $9 with her Carter's sandals.

That afternoon we went to the pool.

Saturday was the big Party!  I hate that I don't have more pictures on my camera.  I was running around trying to be the Hostess with the Mostest.  So until I get pictures from friends this is what I got for right now.

Lets start off with Peyton's 1st outfit... Yes I said 1st : )

Here is Peyton with my mother wearing a sequin Nicole Miller kids dress from Nordstroms.  Nothing says Party like sequins!!!  I didn't get a chance to take more pictures of her in the dress : (  So here is the dress by itself.

Check out the shoes!

I got them from Payless!  They were $15.  I tried to find them in my size but they were sold out.

Here is outfit #2!

My little Cupcake decided to have a photo shoot in front of this cupcake!  She is wearing a bubble romper from The Ladybug Custom Kids Clothing.  This shop owner was great, she worked with me to find the right pattern and color combinations by sending me pictures.  Head over and check her out and tell her Baby Shopaholic sent you for free shipping!

Party theme was Butterflies.

Here is the banner and tissue poms I made.

I made this collage of her 12 months on Walmart.com.

Butterfly cupcake toppers I made.

Here is her Butterfly cake.  Pretty cool!

I will share details on making the decorations soon.

I have to thank by BFF Tahnee and her Mother Dorinda for putting these tables together!

We had Pizza, Wings, Pasta Salad, Deviled Eggs, Cheese and Crackers and Fruit cups.  The fruit cups were a big hit!  Surprising!

Again I don't have pictures but here are some of the highlights!

Peyton was having a blast just running around the house with the kids.

Then we turned on the music and bubble machine. FAIL.  It started off good but we have hard wood floors and next thing I know kids starting hitting the floor like they were slipping on banana peels!  Peyton included.  She got a little shook up.

Time for the smash cake!  FAIL!  Peyton enjoyed everyone singing and applauded when we were done. 

As much as Peyton loves throwing her food on the floor she was not feeling the cake.  She touched it and had this "this is gross" look on her face.  So no good cake smash pictures : (

Overall I think the party went well.  I think the kids had a great time (besides falling).  I know Peyton had a ball.  I want to thank everyone that came out to party with my Lil cupcake!  Mimi from Lip Gloss and Binky came by to party and take pictures!  Can't wait to see them!

Again, I want to say Happy Birthday to Mister!  I love you and pray you have many more!!!  I feel bad that Peyton and his birthday are a few days apart.  We didn't forget about you!

Mama Getting Her DIY On!

I know Peyton's Birthday is a Month away but I an like to get started early so I don't get overwhelmed. 

Here are some things I am working on for the Party.

Cupcake Toppers.  Here is my inspiration.

The colors for the Party are similar but a different pattern.

Banner:  Thank God for Blogs!  I found this one here.  Looks pretty simple.

I think I am going to go with this invitation below. Its from Etsy and the colors will be changed.

Have you done any DIY for your kids Birthday? 

Party of the Year and Instant Summer Wardrobe!

Peyton's first Birthday is fast approaching! I am already stressing!

Awesome Right!  Go to Lipgloss and Binky to view more photos.
There are so many details for a kids party!
