Hello everyone!! I hope your October is going so well! I can’t believe that I have done so well with posting every day so far! haha So today marks the one month mark to my son’s first birthday and as most moms I am so excited!!! I have been planning this birthday party for a while now but everything is closing in on the big day. I wanted to share some of my ideas and party planning tips.
DECOR: I am doing a Dr. Suess themed birthday. I found some decor at Target that I can use to label food in cute Suess ways. I picked up some fabric at Hobby Lobby to create a “banner” to go around his high chair. At the dollar tree I picked up blue and red table cloths and blue, red, and white poster board. I cut up the poster board to create a banner that will display his month by month baby pictures.
FOOD: We are doing a BBQ and grilling lots of yummy foods. I am going to be doing lots of Dr. Suess themed sides, snack, sweets, and drinks.
There are so many ideas that you could do, these are just some that I am doing. I am also making a smash cake and cupcakes. I also ordered a party pack that includes plates, napkins, cups, cutlery, and a table cloth all in my theme.
I consider myself crafty so I am doing my best to make and craft everything that I can instead of buying a lot of the things. I have lots of ideas and I have been working away to make this a great party!
(all photos are courtesy of pinterest, i take no credit but hope to recreate some of these and do them justice. After Baby K’s birthday I will add my own pictures and share how the party went!!)

How do you pick a theme and colors and decor?!? For me it was so easy. If I would have had a girl I think it would have been much more difficult. Sorry about the lighting in these pictures.
So when I found out I was having a boy I was so excited!! I was born to be a boy mom. I gave no room for negotiation with my husband on how I was going to decorate baby K’s room. I love all things nautical. I slightly felt bad because my husband is in the Air Force and loves planes… but like I have mentioned before I am obsessed with the ocean. Anyways as you can see I went to lowes and picked out a really pretty blue for the top half of the walls and I left the lower portion the pale grey that we painted the rest of the house. Where those two colors meets we picked up this white trim at lowes as well.
I then picked up wall decor up at hobby lobby and amazon. Hampton Nautical Wood and Brass Ship Wheel
The furniture I got from babies r us. I love this set we got, very classic and will grow with baby and always look good no matter how we decide to decorate in the future! The rocker/glider chair we also go from babies r us.
How did you decide to decorate? Leave me comments (:
