HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY EMMA!

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY EMMA!
Emma, my little girl, you are seriously our little sunshine. You shine light wherever you go. I cannot imagine this world without you. You are funny, adorable, smart, sweet, sassy... all rolled into one. You add so much fun to our lives. You are a true, true joy!

To the girl who lights up our world with her smile... she will never know how much we needed her. The way she loves us. The way she dances to every song she hears. the way she bosses her brother around (honestly he lets her, anything for his sissy). The way she says "looooook" to every single thing she sees. The way she grabs my face and kisses my cheek...all of it...every minute with her is a pure blessing.
"ZIP - ZAP - ZOO - I choose you!"
Emma had a True and the Rainbow Kingdom birthday party. In all honestly, since the show is still a little new and not well known, planning a party with this theme was a tad difficult. I found her True dress on Etsy, and I made the cake and cupcake toppers. It all worked out and Emma loved every second of her party! She loves True so much so she was so happy with this theme. It was a challenge planning this party, but anything for you baby girl.
Since True lives in a Rainbow kingdom, I tried to stick to rainbow colors. I made a cute rainbow fruit platter which everyone went crazy for. I wanted to add a little something more so there was something than just sugar foods.
I got the idea off Pinterest to try Jello cups. I made them layered with every color of the rainbow. They took foreverrrr to make hehe. As adorable as they were, I didnt know if anyone would like them since they had so many flavors at once, but man was I wrong. Those rainbow cups went fast. They were a hit!
I cannot wait to see what your third year has in store and what adventures life will take you on. Happy Birthday my sweet little Rainbow. You may be three now but you act 16.. Not sure if that makes me happy or scared hehe.
Thank you to everyone who came to her party. Im glad you had fun and im glad I finally got to meet my friends baby girl, Maddy. 

Its still so hard for me to believe you are 3!
I think the part about your birthdays that hit me hard is because you are our last child. No more will I have a 2 year old. Birthdays hit you different when its for your last kid.
We love you more than you'll ever know! To the moon and back my Emma!
"Its my party and I'll cry if I want to"

HAPE TOYS

Hey loves, welcome back to my blog. As you know I am such a fan of  HAPE  toys, and of course my children are obsessed with them. So for this blog post I wanted to show you a couple of their new toys out! First up is their new product  SILLY SPAGHETTI . Who really said you cant play with your food? With Silly Spaghetti kids can bend and twist the pasta in any way. The kit comes with "food" accessories to make crazy SILLY faces.    James really had a fun time decorating his noodles. He kept giggling while playing saying how funny it was that his "noodles" had eyeballs. Honestly taking photos of him playing was such a breeze because how much he really liked it.  It honestly reminds me of Mr. Potato Head in a way. A famous food you can decorate with silly faces. So I hope you check out  HAPE  new crazy and fun   Silly SPAGHETTI  . So if your kids were a fan of the potato head, they'll love this. Nextup was something...

Independence Hotel

 There's something so amazing about discovering gems in your hometown.  One of them being the wonderful Independence Hotel! We had a wonderful stay in the Junior Suite! Everything was so nice and updated in this room. With two very comfortable queen size beds, beautiful views of the river and downtown, and it was right across from a really nice playground for the kids.  Our room offered a full-size refrigerator, seating area, wet bar with sink, and wonderful robes to wear down to the hot tub . Yes, you read that right, a hot tub! There's  even a very nice gym and bike amenities. My favorite part of our stay at this hotel though? I will forever remember and love the spectacular views from the rooftop patio. It was nice to grab a coffee & some breakfast from their restaurant and head up to the rooftop deck to enjoy the breath-taking views of the Willamette River. The kids enjoyed relaxing at the huge firepit! (Pssssst. I have to tell you, if you plan...

Never Grow Up

  I constantly go between wanting my kids to be little forever, and being excited about all the things they’ll do in this life. When your kids are little, you are so loved—smothered, even. So much that sometimes you need to come up for air. But those little kids that need you so much end up pulling away completely left you wondering when they grew up so fast! When they sit on your lap or crawl in bed with you, you have no idea if it will be the last time. Today may be the last day your baby wants to nurse. It may be the last time they need you to lie down with them when they have a bad dream. It may be the last year they want you to hold their hand walking them to school. It's funny how the same moments that make us want our child to be a bit more independent can make us the most nostalgic when those moments are over. But...  There will come a day when they start thanking you for all you've done. There will come a day when they ask you for relationship advice. There will come ...
