Custom Silhouette Ornaments

I'm in love with these laser cut silhouette ornaments from Le Papier Studio! The design is simple but still very special and unique. Would it be too much if I ordered one of these for Parker and made hand print ornaments?

H&M Holiday 2013

Christmas is right around the corner and it's time to get the house ready for the parties that will take place at our house. Lucky for us, H&M home has a great selection of very affordable holiday items available online! Seriously, I cannot even express how happy I am that H&M finally has an online store. I know it's been out for a few months now but I am still not over it. My favorite is probably the gift sack. Totally getting one so I can haul all the kids' Christmas gifts to OC this year (and haul Parker's gifts home). Right now H&M is running a 24% off any item of your choice offer + free shipping over $50 with code 1022. Happy shopping!

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.
