Wordless Wednesday - Momma's Broken Watch Edition

Parties and Pinterest

I'm in birthday party planning mode! Parties for little boys are a different kind of special. You get to use your creative brain to think outside the box especially when it's the 7th birthday and you've done the normal "kid" birthday themes. I've consulted Pinterest with little results. Maybe I'm not using the correct terms for searching, who knows. Any who, this year's party theme came to me while sitting on the deck watching Hayden and Codey (neighbor) playing in the backyard. Ding! Ding! Ding! I'm a little embarrassed it took me this long to realize that I just need to base the party around what he likes to do the most - Nerf guns, chasing, shooting, pretending to be in combat!

With this in mind, I went back to Pinterest to get some ideas for the execution of said party. While there, I came across some super cute things for the party and some super cute "just because" things. I'm holding out on sharing those things until his birthday so instead, I'm going to share some things that make me happy.

Since his birthday is on Mother's Day this year, this might be a fun surprise.

Something I'm trying to be better at doing.

Essie Geranium - THE perfect red nail polish for spring/summer. I can't stop looking at my nails :)

What fun or ridiculous things make you happy?

(Not So) Wordless Wednesday, Easter Version

Normally this would be  a "wordless" Wednesday post, I feel a little "wordy" today :)

This is sweet little lew lew with her bunny ears her momma bought her. I even love the tongue sticking out for effects.

 

On Saturday, we went to the church Easter Egg Hunt and was pleasantly surprised that it was sort of like a carnival with many activities for the kids and the egg hunt at the end. Before the egg hunt, the Youth Minister did a sweet little reminder of the reason for the season. It was super sweet to see all of the little kids answer his questions about Jesus.

In my effort to find a photo of  a "younger" self for Instagram, I came across this gem. This has to be Easter circa 1990 or close to. I absolutely LOVED this dress (I'm on the left and Beth is on the right). Mom made it for me for Easter. What I love so much is that this style has come back in. Surprised? Not really.

What does your past and present Easter fashion look like?
