Sydney Turns 1

 Sydney Turns 1!






How I created an Owl themed party for my daughter's 1st birthday:

Birthday Highchair
Free Owl printables: banner, water bottle labels, and more
The bib is from Kohl's and the personalized owl placemat from : http://www.InkGarden.com/
Orded this custom personalized invite from Etsy
Invitation Prints (Print your own/ customize and get download for $3)

Treat Table: The cake was in the fridge
A bunch of FREE Owl printable labels, cupcake toppers, cards, and more!
Some snacks included: worms in dirt, ants on a log, and goldfish

Make your own trail mix station
 I used animal crackers, Teddy Grahams, Pretzels, Yogurt covered raisins, nuts, and more!
Created a photo timeline 0-11 months and used cinnamon apple water instead of water bottles
Apple Cinnamon Water Recipe
Printable numbers for the timeline banner (Don't print all of them; just 1-11)
A kid's station with edible play-dough, owl books, bubbles, and owl coloring pages
 Owl Coloring Page
 Owl Printable Bookmarks
Kool-Aid Edible Play-dough

Perfect for reading: I was so glad I bought these at a garage sale for a dollar!
Get owl books at garage sales or thrift stores

The gift table: A jar of Kisses From Sydney for the guests and a Time Capsule Box with Words of Wisdom cards
I got an old Lancome box from the thrift store and decorated it with puff paint and stickers. She will open it when she's 18. I also put her invitation, bow, bib, candle, and some pictures inside. It read "Do not open until 2029"
A Cupcake cake for her second party...yes she had 2!

I got supplies from craft stores, I cut the number 1 from a foam piece and hung it in the walkway.

Thrifty Finds Week 8ish...

I am in week eight of my pregnancy, and surprisingly I feel better than a few weeks ago. I am still a bit nauseous but not as much and I have more energy these past two weeks. Bruce and I were bargain shopping at a thrift store and spotted this glider chair and ottoman; retail value over $200. We figured we could clean the upholstery or re-upholstery it, so even though it is a bit early to start buying baby furniture we could not pass this up for $40. I also found a brand new baby rearview car mirror and a What to Expect When Your Expecting book for $1. I love bargain shopping, I have to admit it is hard because I don't want to get ahead of myself since I still am waiting for my insurance to get approved and set up a doctor's appt. But so far all is well and I have been trying to eat healthy food; cutting out sodas and chips has been a challenge; but definitely worth it.
