Party Plotting

In a few months, our little guy will turn 5 and i've got my work cut out for me this year. I've got feedback from the wee boss that he wants a spiderman party, then one day he'd switched out to a superman party or that he'd like a star wars jedi training get-together. It seems like he can't make up his mind! 

Luckily, i've got tons of inspiration from my favorite party gals and pinterest and i'm taking notes! 

How awesome is this spiderman pinata? Aston will flip out when he sees this!

If hosting a star wars-themed party, these cupcakes are perfect!

Of course, there has to be capes for our superheroes!

I kinda like the colors of this superhero-themed party and it's non-specific, non-commercialized goodness and i'm all for that ~ IF the little guy OKs!

I am excited to plan this party but really, i can't believe he is almost 5! That's what i'm amazed about ~ where did our baby go? He was just in pampers and we blinked and soon he'll be in kindergarten! wow!

Gifts, Sweets and More

Today's post is just about some random ramblings of what's going on in my everyday life.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Yesterday I was excited to receive my prize giveaway from lovely blogger Michaela where I won an adorable Dani Notes monogrammed cupcake notecards. Cupcakes? How perfect! Btw, If you have not checked out her shop yet, you ought to. So much cute stuff! and Oh, I stalk her pinterest boards too!  

I had a little fiasco last time when I took home the wrong lunchbox from school. In my defense, it's the same exact lunch box Aston has (thank you Auntie Katherine for his personalized train lunchbox gift!) and the other little boy's name is Aiden. See? Can you blame me? Enter this new tin lunchbox by Rachel of Pencil Shavings Paper. Isn't it cute? I need to order one for me -LOL!

I'm still in the mood to iron-on anything on Aston's $2 plain shirts. Armed with coupons from Michael's and a few shirts from the Target clearance racks, I was iron-on trigger happy. I'm sure the folks at his school will never ever forget his name!

Lastly, a couple of weeks ago we attended our good friend's son's birthday party and this was the fantastic Mickey Mouse birthday cake! How awesome is that? It tasted delicious too!

So, what's going on with you? Are you still taking daily trips to Target to see if that Missoni for target throw that everyone wants appears miraculously? Or are you still clicking and refreshing that Target.com site? Seriously, I'm ready to move on to the next designer collaboration as my sister has scored me some Missoni stuff (from Chicago's Target) that I may not see till December (earlier I hope!)

It's almost Friday, everyone!  

A simple DIY Easter bucket

Inspired by blogger friend Meredith of the sweet T family, I managed to still find the same bucket from hobby lobby and grabbed a set of stickers for our little guy's name and monogram. Fast, easy and for under $5 (thanks to their 50% discounts) ~ I love it!
