LET’S GET BAKIN’ – St. Patrick’s Day Cupcakes
via random thoughts of a super mom
these would be so fun to make up! Kelli first saw the idea in Family Fun Magazine.

She mentions that they were easy to make up, 
though time consuming, but well worth the effort.
 and i agree. they are adorable!!

and if you don’t have time to layer them you could make them up like this and arrange in a rainbow! (perfect touch for a rainbow themed party!) plus she made them up as mini cupcakes to save time. i love the mini’s the most anyways!!

FAVORITE PARTY THEME – A French Cafe Party
via pink peach cakes
Darcie created this amazing party for her daughter’s 1st birthday party!
so creative.. the old school bakery style cakes are gorgeous..and the awning and drawn flower boxes/frames?? adorable! oh and the chalkboard??
 ok i’m going to stop. but i just love everything about this party theme
and i would totally make my brother dress up like a mime too. hehe.
Visit her blog for more loveliness and details on the party.


RECENT MAMA MOMENTS – My Trip to Atlanta.
Someone was sooooo kind/generous/amazing enough to gift me with a plane ticket to anywhere i wanted so of course i had to choose back home..atlanta! 
I was able to visit with my sister(of BLANQI.com), mom,
 brother(of davidcarondesign), his gf, and old high school friends! 
But one of the main reasons i wanted to go was to meet my little nephew!! 
He was born a month after my Sienna. 
we enjoyed giggling at the baby cuteness all weekend long. :)
baby feet are so precious! i just wanna kiss em!..
and sienna wants to bite them. haha.
but with sienna having two teeth i was a bit nervous for nico..
this girl likes to chomp. she’s like a little gerbil. yes.. i said it!!



gramma snuggles are the best.

my big brother and his girlfriend mary. soo cute. :)

one of my best friends, shannon, and her bambinos. 
we are on the same baby track. hehe.
i wish sophia could have come with me to play with her daughter.. next time!


my nephew jude is all boy but he was sooo cute with sienna.


FAVORITE DIY PROJECTCupcake Stand
visit her blog for the full tutorial!
 i’m for sure making this.. so budget friendly with high impact at your party!

My Sienna is mobile…..
she rolls to get to what she wants..and is going up on all fours.
eek! she rolled over to nico..took his toy…and then rolled away.

i have a feeling we have a feisty one on our hands. :)

    My favorite from this post is the St. Patty’s day cupcakes. They are seriously ADORABLE. I would not have the patience to layer them but arranging as a rainbow I could handle….love it!

    Can’t get enough baby pics, thanks for posting! Glad to know someone else has an obsession with baby feet too. I am sad my little one is turning 2 and will soon be loosing that baby fat feet look :(

    I love those cupcakes. I will not even attempt to make them, I’ll just drool over them via the computer.

    I love Sienna eating another baby’s feet. Those two babies are too cute together.

    Precious pictures of the babies! That was so sweet for someone to gift you with a plane ticket! I’m sure your family was happy to have you “home”!

    I’ve been seeing the rainbow cakes/cupcakes all over and am dying to try them! They’re so cute! If I decide on a circus theme party for Jack’s birthday, I’m going to have the rainbow cake. We shall see!
