I just stumbled upon this birthday party inspiration board from Grey Likes Baby and thought it was just the prettiest thing. Soft shades of blush and ivory paired with the sweetest touches of tulle and glitter is the perfect inspiration for a completely girly celebration that avoids feeling bubble gum or overdone. I love this!

Good morning, friends! Today I have to wish a big happy birthday to my little sister. She moved away for the first time earlier this year so it’s her first birthday away from home. So I figured, why not celebrate with her from afar by sharing a whole bunch of birthday cakes that had me at hello? When all else fails, a great cake makes for an instant (and totally awesome) party. Happy birthday, ‘Lil! xoxo

The sweet Andrea of Strawberry Chic (who shared the awesome DIY pencil holder with us not too long ago) recently planned the loveliest party for her little sister and her friends. A cake decorating party! Each guest got her own mini cake on a pretty little platter and Andrea taught them all a few basic frosting techniques like how to make frosting ruffles and roses. Isn’t this unbelievably fun? It’d be a great idea for a birthday party or even …

Hey DIYers! It’s Chelsea, back from my hangout at Lovely Indeed to show you an extra fun project I recently created for my niece’s first birthday. It’s perfect for any summer celebration, especially one with a little Mexican flavor. Today, we’re talking DIY pinatas!

Here’s what you’ll need:  some cardboard, an empty cereal box, tissue paper, masking tape, scissors, a glue stick, and pipe cleaners or thick twine. Start by cutting the shape of your pinata out of your cardboard. Cut …

Good morning! Boy do I have a treat for your Monday. We’re talking a birthday party so bright and happy you’re going to forget all about it being a Monday morning. This is Burke’s third birthday party, where he happily shared the spotlight with five little friends who have a birthday around the same time. There was a tent of ruffled crepe paper streamers cascading over a candy buffet loaded with yellow treats and cute party hats to go around. …

Today I have a special treat for you.

In lieu of creating one of the ever-popular 30 Before 30 list of goals, Vicky and her husband Matt made an unlist. They jotted down a list of the things they’ve learned along the way in life – …

I know vintage campers are everywhere these days, but I’m thinking there’s a reason for that. There is something so blissfully nostalgic about an old camper. It sings of long summer days, childhood, creamsicles melting in the heat of July, and days when our biggest worries were whether to go with the purple or the blue crayon. (Personally, I always went pink.) Tin Can Treats is a Nashville company renting out their vintage camper, a 1965 Shasta Airflyte named …

When I spied Emerson’s first birthday party on EAD Living, I fell in love. It’s sweet and pink and loaded with fun little homemade pies and a pretty birthday cake that looks almost too good to eat. I love birthday parties that skip the cartoon characters in lieu of something a bit more homespun and the cute little details here are simply adorable. It’s as easy as a string of bunting, loads of yummy treats and a few color-coordinated pieces …
