Time flies

As Bradley gets closer and closer to his first birthday, (yeah... I said it. First birthday!) I am starting to think about what I want to do to celebrate the occasion. For Samanthas first birthday, I planned this huge party at our local rec center and rented a room. I ordered a huge gorgeous cake and bought a ton of decorations. It was nice, and totally pretty. But it was a huge waste of money. The cake was half eaten, less than half the invited guests showed up, and we were rushed to get out on time.

This time around, I'm planning on doing something that will look great, while staying on a tight budget. I'm planning a lot of DIY projects and instead of renting a room at the rec center, I am going to plan an at-home party for a smaller guest list.

I just started a pinterest account, and I'm loving it so far. I'm planning on stalking the pages for ideas for Bradleys 1st birthday party and Samantha's THIRD birthday party. Oh where did the time go!?

Bradley will be 1 in just over 3 months, and Samantha 3 in just under 5.

I'll keep you updated!
