Charlotte’s 4th Birthday Art Party

Each year it’s hard to believe that any of my girls are a year older. The older they get, the faster it goes by and even though I prepare myself, it doesn’t get easier watching them grow up but it is fun.


Charlotte is officially four years old and we celebrated with an Art themed birthday party! This was her choice and perfectly matched her messy and fun personality. She loves to draw, color and create.  It amazes me with how good she is. It’s definitely something she might have a future in if she keeps it up.

 The last two years have felt like she’s getting the short end of the stick with her birthday, but nonetheless, she had a great time and the party turned out much better than I thought. Why do I say that? Well, she turned three just a month and a half after having the twins last year and I just threw a quick and easy pj’s and donuts birthday party together with very little planning and decorating and this year was very last minute as well. Not to mention, it always falls during Thanksgiving so life is busy as it is. So thankful for grace and love from that little girl who could care less about it all. I even messed the cake up this year and she was so forgiving and still managed to give me a huge hug and tell me how good the cake still smelled (she picked out a caterpillar cake from Costco and I put the wrong pick up date).

 Anyhow, back to how I planned her art party and how easy you could throw one too!


I was able to get most of her party supplies through Amazon.  Thank goodness for two day shipping and Amazon pretty much always coming in clutch.  And of course, Pinterest always comes in handy too!


Like the idea to have "paint chips" and "paint brushes" was such a fun idea and the kids loved it!  The best part for me, is that it took little effort, which is always a plus when planning a kid's party.  The paint brushes were pre-made marshmallow treats that I dipped in colored chocolate and then stuck with a Popsicle stick.
 

What makes this Art Party themed birthday so easy was that you can use all the colors and not go wrong.  The more the better and mixing and matching different things was a piece of cake.  Get it? ;)  Plates, napkins, utentils...nothing has to match!


Here's a list of what we used to throw a pretty awesome (if I say so myself) party for my four year old and a few more favorite photos.

A Birthday Fiesta! | Emma turns 4

Tuesday, May 15, 2018

5 comments
Emma's birthday weekend fell on Cinco de Mayo this year, so naturally we had to have a fiesta themed birthday party for her.  It's probably the last year I can talk her into the kind of party we want to have, but maybe not.  She's pretty easy going.


 I tried to keep it simple this year.  Being 19 weeks pregnant with twins and easily exhausted, I knew the less I had to do, the better.  It turned out great!  We had a taco bar, pina colada fruit salad, and ended with cactus cupcakes and choco-tacos.  The fruit salad was incredible and I would definitely make it again for any other occasion or Summer party.


For drinks, I made an easy "cactus juice" for the kids and of course, margaritas and cerveza for the adults.  Minus me, whose drink was non-alcoholic. 


We put up our bounce house and threw in a slip-n-slide and inflatable pool for several hours of entertainment.  The kids had so much fun and I didn't hear any complaints!  I had planned on DIY maracas for the kids and had a giant taco pinata, both of which we didn't get to because they were having so much fun playing outside.

My Summer Favorites & Birthday GIVEAWAY

Sweeeet Summer time, y'all!!  Summer is here and it's already been a hot one here in Florida, so I decided I would share a few of my favorite Summer products that help keep me feeling "Cool for the Summer"! (anyone else singing Demi Lovato's song right now)

Like I promised (if you've been following me on Instagram),  I'm giving away some of my favorites to one lucky follower!  I'm so excited about this amazing giveaway!  It's my birthday week and I couldn't think of a better way to celebrate!

So...are you just dying to know about my favorite Summer products?


1. I love getting my nails done.  It can be so much fun to go the salon and relax, but with two kiddos under two now, it's almost impossible to do.  That's when I discovered Jamberry nails.  They are amazing and so easy to apply.  Mine lasted almost three weeks and one sheet costs a lot less than a manicure.  Each sheet has 2-3 applications!

2. Rodan and Fields Sunscreen is my go to for keeping my skin protected during the Summer.  We love to go boating and this sunscreen is so lightweight and non-greasy.  It's perfect for everyone in my family, including my girls.  It's a must-have!

3. My absolute favorite monogrammed mason jar tumbler is from Caroline Randall Made AND it has another summer favorite all over it...flamingos!  I drink out of this tumbler every single day.  It is cute, easy to take with me and I can easily change out the sleeves!  I secretly want to keep the giveaway tumbler for myself ;)

4.  Floppy hats are one of my go-tos for the Summer.  You can dress it up or dress it down.  They are cute with just about anything!

5.  Let's be honest, flower crowns are everything!  I love how whimsical they are and how beautiful they look and make you feel.  RyleighxCo has the cutest shop filled with flower crowns and mommy and me items.

 6.  Younique makeup has been my favorite brand for lipstick and mascara!  I'm obsessed with lipstick and like that I can mix it up in the Summer with a bold pop of color!

 7.  This tank!  I want to wear this everyday!  Adding Accents has the best tanks and tees!  I seriously want them all!  It's perfect for a Summer outing.

8.  You can't forget a good coffee mug!  The Summer is for getting up early, hitting the beach and going to bed way too late.  You're going to need a lot of caffeine and what better way than to drink it out of this adorable mug from ByTracey?!  You can't go wrong with any of her cute and clever designs.  

8.  If you know me, you know how much I love the smell of coconut!  This coconut citrus candle smells like I'm on a beach all day long (even when I'm covered in baby food).

 NOW, here's your chance to win this entire package!

  • Gender: Still keeping it a SURPRISE!  Michael found out and of course, couldn't keep it a secret and told me.  It's so funny to hear what my family thinks and others guess.

    • Side Note:  We found out at our last appointment that my cervix was showing where it should be at 26 weeks.  Just a little bit of a scare.  This week it showed right back where it needed to be....BUT now my placenta is laying low.  Just taking it easy until my next appointment.  Prayers are welcomed! 
We also went out for my birthday and had such a great time!  It was a good 4th of July weekend.







  • Feeling:  Really good.
  • What I'm excited about/looking forward to:  A relaxing week at the house with just the three of us.  We have been so busy lately.  That also means catching up on housework...blah!
