Our nephew, Dylan, also Kayo's godson, celebrates his birthday the day after Summer's. So our family has been on party mode all month. Dylan's party was held yesterday and his Mom, Amy, came up with the coolest party theme: Farmers Market! She put all the effort in putting together a delicious food buffet and it really turned out looking great. There were fresh fruit and vegetables, candied walnuts (winner!), bread, corn on the cob, homemade baby back ribs (another winner!), muffins, fried tofu, a bottomless supply of yummy dalandan juice and instead of the traditional birthday cake, Dylan had Read More

Summer’s Safari Party

We usually hold parties at home and make decor ourselves but holding this one at a different venue did not stop me from crafting little pieces to make the event more personal and, of course, pretty! My sister-in-law, Martine of DaintyMom, contributed a bunch of lovely lovely washi tapes from Paper Chic Studio which I went crazy with! I realized there are so many Read More

Summer’s First: A Rubber Ducky Party

I’ve always loved children and even as a teenager, I already dreamed of throwing my own kids party. So imagine my delight when I finally had my own kid! A few months before Summer’s actual birthday I started planning and “pinning” ideas. Since our bubbly baby girl recently acquired a huge liking for Sesame Street and has always enjoyed taking baths, her Papa and I decided on a Rubber Ducky theme. I searched for other Rubber Ducky themed children’s parties online for more ideas and also made a list of things Summer liked and would enjoy to see at her party such as balloons and bubbles.
