Baby Will | Cake Smash

July 7, 2021

Baby Will | Cake Smash

Neither of his sisters wanted anything to do with their first birthday cake, so I expected Will to be the same. Luckily he loved it and was so fun to watch! This was a really simple setup that anyone could do. I used two white sheets and hung them in the back yard. I prefer sheets for this, because seamless backdrop paper looks really messy with all the cake and frosting. I ordered balloons and balloon tape from Amazon, and it makes balloon garlands and arches SO easy to do! I also purchased a balloon filler earlier this year and it saves so much time! Definitely worth it!

Ava Turns 5

March 23, 2020

I honestly don’t understand how my first baby is already 5! It’s going by so fast and I’m not a fan of her being so grown-up. I will be sending her to kindergarten this year and I’m trying not to think about it. Of course, she can’t wait and I know she will love it! We had fun celebrating her birthday yesterday with just our little family. We had planned a trip to Vegas over her birthday to visit my aunt and she was a good sport about having to cancel. Happy Birthday Ava girl! We love you!
