Picmonkey Invitation Tutorial

DIY Party Invitation using PicMonkey

May 19, 2017 By Jenna 10 Comments

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.

DIY Birthday Hat…Another reason I’m not the kid’s favorite parent…

June 5, 2014 By Jenna 17 Comments

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.

Care Bear and Rainbow Party {I Survived….Barely}

May 29, 2014 By Jenna 22 Comments

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.
