let's create and celebrate Lauren turning 8!
All of the details from Lauren’s Art Party - a creative art studio set up for her guests to make their own artistic creations, and a pretty picnic with all the ribbons, bows and treats!
high five! for ethan's 5th birthday
high five for turning 5! We celebrated Ethan’s birthday with a backyard party with friends. The highlight was a bubble house full of balloons!
easter baskets, cookies + jammies!
Easter is one of my favorite holidays, and this year I was so excited to put together baskets full of special goodies — including matching bunny jammies for the night before, heirloom Cuddle + Kind dolls, spring toys, chalk, games, and treats that made Easter morning feel fun and festive.
an easter bunny brunch
One of my absolute favorite traditions is hosting a little “Bunny Brunch” each Easter! For our 5th annual celebration, we kept the menu simple with cinnamon buns, muffins, fresh fruit, and eggs + toast. I loved using a yellow gingham tablecloth and a pretty tissue‑paper bow garland, and of course we never forgot our bunny ears to make the morning extra fun.
st. patrick's day fun!
What’s not to love about rainbows, green smoothies and Lucky Charms?! We celebrated St. Patrick’s Day this year with a little breakfast party featuring a rainbow of balloons, green pancakes, green fruit skewers, and doughnuts with Lucky Charms sprinkled on top! We also made Leprechaun traps — Lauren brought one to school and Ethan built his own, making the holiday extra fun.
valentine's day ice cream party
For Valentine’s Day this year, we celebrated with a cheerful ice cream party! I made a pink and white striped awning and a sign that said “We All Love Ice Cream,” added light pink balloons and heart‑lettered mylar balloons, then set out bowls of vanilla and strawberry ice cream, fresh berries, sauces, sprinkles, and cherries — plus little surprise balls hidden in cones for a playful twist!
gem valentines
This year’s classroom valentines are extra sparkly! I created free printable “You’re a Real Gem of a Friend!” cards, which pair perfectly with small crystals or acrylic gems. They’re easy to print at home or a print shop and make handing out Valentine’s Day cards extra fun for kids.
christmas cookies + DIY ornaments
Christmas is in full swing and we kicked off the season with cozy pajamas, holiday cookies, and homemade ornaments! After baking and decorating gingerbread men and candy cane sugar cookies, we made simple cornstarch dough ornaments using star and snowflake cutters, added cute Christmas tattoo decals, and tied them with string — a fun festive afternoon for the kids.
another fun halloween party
I’m always surprised how quickly Halloween arrives after school starts! We hosted a little Halloween party with friends full of tasty treats, games, crafts, and all the silly fun that comes with the season. For decorations, I created a balloon display with peach, orange and white balloons, and set the table with fun ghost and BOO plates the kids loved.
sunkissed+seven - a 70's beach party!
For Lauren’s 7th birthday, we threw a Sun‑Kissed beach party inspired by vintage 1970s summer vibes. Golden sunlight tones, crocheted party favors, retro-inspired décor, sand castle building and fun swim floaties kept the celebration bright and cheerful. Every detail, from the boho accents to the setup right on the beach, made the day feel nostalgic, fun, and unforgettable.
it's a Mario Party!
Here we go! Ethan has powered up to Level 4! We threw an epic Super Mario birthday party, complete with themed decorations with a fun outdoor set up. The kids raced each other in a Mario Kart-inspired track, played game-themed activities, and enjoyed snacks and treats inspired by the classic characters — making the celebration colorful, playful, and full of energy.

colourful and fun easter baskets
Oh hey it’s just me again with another FUN easter basket! This year I am using these colourful crates from Urban Outfitters - I loved the bright orange and mint green colours, and they will look super cute in the kid’s rooms after Easter too!
