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!

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

Teachers & Stay-at-Home Moms (Make Extra $$ This Summer)

As a substitute teacher, I do not get paid during the summer months and I haven't found any luck with tutoring over the summer either. I only work part-time on my husband's days off (bummer for him). So I began researching a few months before summer arrives to plan ahead and see what's out there for moms or subs. I don't want to go anywhere; I am looking for a telecommute job or online job where I can work on my own time while my baby is napping. So here is what I found: 1.  Work at Home Job Listings This is a great database website that takes you to other websites that are hiring for at home jobs. You can search your area (mine came up with zero). Or you can scroll down and browse a list of newly added jobs. Some examples of jobs are bloggers, editors, telemarketer, writers, tech. support, developer, and even an Android App. reviewer. 2.  Mystery Shopping Provider This might be a fun way to earn money if your a stay at home mom who doesn't necessarily like ...
