Willy Wonka Party

Happy Monday!  The sun is FINALLY out here and it was great.  I am definately a sun girl.  I live in california and we have had our fair share of rain this year. 

Well, let's talk parties.  I have been wanting to put on a Candyland party for quite a while and have collected some fun ideas.  But I came across this Willy Wonka party and WOW, it looks like it was fun.

This party is from TSJ Photography.  Tracie has some great photography ideas and creative ideas for kids.  You'll have to check out the rest of the party, it looked delicious!

Peeps S'mores

Sorry I have been MIA for a few days.  It was my spring break and I took advantage of my time home with my son and worked on cleaning through closets (remember my word this year is simplify).

I just loves s'mores.  Maybe it's because I love to camp and the two go hand in hand.  Have you ever tried making s'mores with a peanut butter cup instead of a plain ole' chunk of chocolate...yummy!  Well, I came across these today and thought they would be a fun treat to make.

Rainbow...

I know you are thinking another rainbow post, but this is just so fun!  I want to make this just for fun so I can take my own picture of it.

Pirate Invites

As promised here are my invites we made for the pirate party.  We had to hand deliver them, but that was part of the fun.  To see the expressions on the kids' faces when my little Captain delivered their message in a bottle was priceless!

Pirate Inspiration

I wanted to share a few pictures and blogs that gave me inspiration when planning my son's pirate party.

These are just a few of the many great pirate ideas out there.  I will share my invites tomorrow.  They were a lot of fun to make!

Pirate Party

I thought I would post pictures of my son's 3rd birthday from 6 months ago.  Planning this is what got me interested in the party planning gig.  I am wishing now I would have hired a photographer to have cathed the moments a bit more.  I was busy being a host and a mommy, so I don't have the best pictures.  Here is some of the decor.

And what's a pirate party without a pirate ship (made from a refridgerator box).

Oh...I can't forget the carpenter workshop to decorate your treasure chest before digging for gold and jewels.

He had a blast and so did the moms and dads.  He turns four in six months...time to start planning!
