Whoever said a farm birthday party couldn’t be stylish too? These farm themed birthday party ideas prove that a farm party can be both fun and filled with adorable and humorous party decorations. When the Circus decided she wanted a farm theme party for her 6th birthday this year, I was totally on board, but…

Farm Birthday Invitations using Picmonkey
Every year, I make a customized birthday party invitation for the Circus’ party. It’s actually pretty easy to make your own invitations and on top of that, it’s much more affordable than buying customized ones via other sources. This year, she wanted a farm themed birthday party so I made these farm birthday invitations using…
DIY Party Invitation using PicMonkey
Once more, its that time of the year.
When Mama drinks a little more cheap beer than usual.
When she may cry simply because the streamers aren’t twisting just right.
When she is hovering on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
That’s right, its birthday season around here.
Why I put this much stress on myself for the kid’s party, I do not know. I mean, let’s be honest. The minute the kid dropped her first cuss word, that mother of the year award was out of my reach.
As if a perfectly decorated birthday party would bring it back.
One thing however, that is going right in the birthday planning is this DIY party invitation using PicMonkey*.
Bless you, PicMonkey.
Bless you for helping me keep a little piece of what sanity I have left.
Easy Happy Birthday Sign
Hi Friends!
I was secretly MIA last week on a beach vacation. It was great, but of course I’m playing catch-up. So today, I’m going to share the last of my DIY party decorations from the Care Bear & Rainbow Birthday party.
This Happy Birthday sign was easy to make and got the job done.
DIY Birthday Hat…Another reason I’m not the kid’s favorite parent…
There is no doubt in my mind that my kid loves her father much more than she loves me.
That’s ok, and really its no surprise.
With the exception of summer, she’s stuck with me for at least eight hours a day.
Eight hours of random dance parties, eight hours of DIY projects, eight hours of hearing me scream at the dogs, eight hours of reruns of Sex and the City.
Wait a minute, why doesn’t she love me the most? Obviously, I am the most awesome parent alive.
Although, maybe not the most award winning one…
Adding to her reasons of why I’m not her favorite would be this lovely birthday hat I made her.
I find it adorable.
She refused to wear it for more than 30 seconds.
Easy Party Backgrounds for $10 or less
As you may well know, kid’s birthday parties can get expensive really quick.
And I’m not even talking about their gifts. I’m talking about feeding everyone, decorations, invitations, etc.
I like to DIY as many party decorations as I possibly can to save money.
I first showed you my easy party backgrounds last year when I did one for the kid’s 1st birthday party. This year, I added a bit more umph to it.
Care Bear and Rainbow Party {I Survived….Barely}
Seriously y’all, I don’t think I’ve ever been so happy to have a birthday party over with.
Not that it wasn’t a great little party and yes, I’m a little sad the kid is growing up so fast, but party planning and party decorating for kids birthdays are just. so. exhausting.
Can I get an amen?
This year we opted for a Care Bear and Rainbow Party for the kid’s birthday. When I started planning it, she was really into her stuffed bears, by the time the party rolled around she was really into her stuffed dogs. Can’t go anywhere without a stuffed dog these days.
Kid changes her mind more than I do.
Easy DIY Cake Topper
I love a good cake topper because it can completely take a cake to the next level. Obviously, the most important part is how good the cake tastes, but we need a cute little topper too, right? My DIY cake topper can easily be made in under 30 minutes – and no fancy cutting machines…

A Stylish Blue and Pink Birthday Party
We made it through year one. No serious injuries, no serious sickness, only busted her lip a few times, fell off the couch and bed a couple times, multiple bruises, and I only let her eat a clump of dirt once. We. Survived. It. Hallelujah. To celebrate the big day, we threw a blue and pink…
