Welcome to the Jungle

Okay, so I’ve been thinking (obsessing) about the baby room already. I’m sure you’re not surprised, as I’m totally type A, but now that I’ve organized my thoughts/inspiration, I don’t know if I’ll be able to decide! I’ve created this ‘gender neutral’ board with a jungle animal theme, but I’ve also got boards ready for a forest animal themed room, a baby girl rainbow room (aka no theme), a mermaid room, and a Where the Wild Things Are, typical boy, themed room. Oh how I love themes. I really want the baby room to be bright and fun and whimsical. After all, this little person will only be little for a while. I’m sure I’ll blink and they’ll be rolling their eyes, listening to music, and tuning me out. I say, play up this part of life, right?

All of the boards have a) storage, b) crib sheets, c) a cute humidifier, d) a mobile, and e) art. I tried to work in lighting here and there too. Regardless of what theme we choose, I definitely want to have plenty of room for books.  I’m going to try and get my husband and his best friend to make the little one something similar to this.

I’m sure the hubby will have the final say on the theme, but here are my boards for your viewing pleasure. Only 3 more weeks until we *might* be able to tell the gender! Woot Woot! I can’t wait, let’s hope baby Belcher cooperates. Here’s the jungle themed board to get us started.

Is it wrong for your baby to match their room? I hope not, because I am loving this set!

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

First of all….Can you name the seven dwarfs? Just try it. Kills me every time.Okay moving on. Of course today’s party I’m working on a Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs themed party. I think I would start by setting up a little “forest” for the kids to walk through on the way in- complete with either stuffed or cardboard cut-out animal bunnies, chipmunks and deer. Little birds (most likely paper) would be hanging from the door frame. I’d be going for this kind of feeling (but with the princess not so sad let’s hope!) I would love to have a dress up station with a nod to “Mirror Mirror on the Wall”. Maybe something like this but more down to earth like this . Of course there would need to be apples galore. Candied apples? Carmel apples with a carmel apple decorating station? Rice crispy treat apples ? Donut hole mini apples ? Oh the options. (I also looove the Snow White cut-out in the mirror- adorable). Some sort of poison potion (with dry ice) would be super cute too. Maybe...

Dog Days of Summer

Well, my acrylic stamps didn't happen to work out on the cookies, but I found a purpose for them. I was practicing dipping Oreos in white chocolate when I got the bright idea to stamp them. I tried a few different methods, but my husband had the winning idea. Take a look. My methods- leaving the stamps in the white chocolate while it dried, using a greased stamp (gross, don’t do it), and using a stamp on nearly hardened white chocolate The winning method (eh hem- Josh’s method), putting the stamp in the white chocolate then freezing the cookie That man is a genius! I think they turned out super cute. I can’t wait to use this for a party. I’m kind of a sucker for my dogs so I was actually thinking about hosting a dog’s day out. If not, then I’ll probably keep this in my back pocket for Optimus’ birthday. Like I said- I’m a sucker for my dogs.

Tuesday Tips

This week’s focus is…         MENU Oh how I love food. After you’ve come up with your theme and your décor, it seems (at least to me) for the menu to come along naturally. I do have a few rules I try stick to. When I throw a party I generally like to have something crunchy you can snack on, something healthy(ish), something you could consider to be what I call “real food” aka something you would eat as part of a main meal, at least 2 drink options, and something deliciously sweet. Although I try to have some of the food options be theme-specific, I don’t think it’s absolutely necessary. People might remember if your food was theme specific, but they’re definitely going to remember if your food was delicious. Don’t feel like you can’t make some of your favorite staples for a party! Make food you would like to eat- especially if you’re hosting. You might just have leftovers. If you’re staple food is steak, or something equally expensive or equally larg...
