Birthday Cake from Momofuku Milk Bar

Four more days. Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday that we welcomed our little yellow jaundice baby into the world. Now homoeboy is growing a molar!

 I have been debating whether to make his cake or order it for a while. Panic set in on Saturday and I realized that I would not have time to make his cake so I ordered one (actually I ordered two) from Momofuku Milk Bar in New York. We visited Milk Bar on our last trip together pre-parenthood and I will never forget walking down the street eating crack pie, our bellies still full from lunch at David Chang's Momofuku Noodle Bar. I'm sure the birthday cake will be 1000% times better than anything I could ever make and I hope little man and all our guests enjoy it! The colorful sprinkles fit right in with our super colorful party. One day when he is older I can say, "We had your first birthday cake flown in from NYC!"

Giant is the New Mini - Sneak Peek - Parker's 1st Birthday Party

Giant is the new mini. That's going to be my motto for Parker's birthday party. I've been spending a ridiculous amount of time on Pinterest planning Parker's 1st birthday party and I think it's finally coming together. Tuan thinks I am crazy for planning this far in advance but I have to work on all my projects in stages since I have very little free time. Also, I want to give myself enough time to source everything I need to buy and time to get things on sale. Here's a sneak peek of what will be Parker's balloon/confetti/fringe extravaganza. The only thing that stands in the way of my plans is the helium shortage so I'm planning to do as much of my balloon decorations without helium as possible. It's better for the bottom line and won't be affected if I can't get my hands on enough helium tanks.

These are not new or original ideas. They are BIG ideas. Scratch that. They are GIANT ideas.

On another note, the blog is about to hit 10,000 views. WOO HOO! I'm doing a happy dance right now.
