Ocean Theme Birthday Party

I did an Ocean theme for my Little Guy's First Birthday party, as his birthday is the only one that falls in the middle of summer. I was really excited with the opportunity to do a 'summery' party. 

Anyways, I chose the Ocean and it was a very easy theme to put together. 

First of all, I looked for a set of digital papers to make the banner. I found one on Etsy that I thought was just perfect. I used the Cricut for cutting out the circles, the letters, and the ocean waves. Then we blew up balloons to recreate the sky and the sun. :-) 

For the backdrop, I used a plastic table cover from Dollar Tree. It was a great size (covered the whole wall), easy to use material, and just perfect for the party. 

The crabs came from JoAnn's and can also be found at most craft stores. 

I also used ocean theme stickers like fish, star fish, and turtles to decorate the ocean. 

My friend A came over and she made the paper boats for us. Those turned out adorable! 

 The cake also had waves and matched the colors of the balloons. 

We decorated the table with foam stickers and pails to add on to the ocean theme. 

As a photo prop, I got googles, pails, and shovels. We had lots of fun pretending to be in the ocean! 

Happy Party Planning!

Update on my Little Guy

My little guy turned ONE a month ago. I can't believe how quickly his first year of life went by! As a Mom transitioning from two kids to three is a huge change. However, I am so grateful to God for my little guy. I love him so much and I enjoy his daily smiles. He is a talker and enjoys playing with his siblings.  I think one of my favorite things about him is his laughter. He laughs anytime a new song starts, he laughs when we laugh, and he laughs to get our attention.

Yesterday, though, he was clearly upset with me. We had left him at the church's nursery and when I went to get him, he looked at me, screamed and kicked his feet with a very serious look. No. smile. at. all.

When I told my husband, he agreed with me. Our little guy was clearly upset.

Soon after I talked to him, he started laughing and 'talking' again. If he just knew how difficult it is for me to leave him at the nursery as well. *sigh*

He is now taking steps and today he was soooo confident! He stood on his own and walked so well! It's just a matter of days until he takes off!

Te Quiero Mucho, Amor.

{free} Baby Clothes Closet Divider Printable

Hi!

I'm working on a new set of clothes divider to organize a new new baby's closet, but I want to share an oldie with you.  I actually used this set last year for my baby boy (who is now 13 months and taking steps!) and it helped me out a ton! I especially loved it because I included a tag for winter gear. 

I printed my labels on cardstock, laminated the sheet, and then cut it up. The slits fit perfectly in my closet.  You could print this at home or at any office store.
