Baby Birthday on a Budget!

Well, it's official. Baby Diva is 1!


I'm so excited to watch her grow but I'm so devastated it's happening so fast. She is my last little and I treasure her milestones so much because of it.

We had a small party with our close friends. We let the kiddos play and had cake and ice cream. Baby Diva had so much fun crawling around after the kids and entertaining the adults...that is all she needed to keep busy. She is definitely a people person, even if she's being a sass.

An amazing friend made a beautiful cake and cupcakes and I pieced together decorations from Target for a great price. How cute is this cake topper I scored in the party section for just a few bucks?

It was small, but amazing. We have great friends to share these memories with and we appreciate it. I cannot wait to make a Photo Book on Shutterfly for Baby Diva. PS. you can get 50% off hard cover photo books right now!

Baby Diva is taking a few steps at a time. Says HI with great enthusiasm, Cheese for pictures, Mom, Dada, More, Sit, Ruff and a bunch of gibberish I can associate with what she is trying to say :) She climbs all over everything and is a sassy daredevil. She fits more personality into her compact little self than anyone could imagine. We are so blessed to have her and this last year it has been amazing to watch her grow. Now, if you will excuse me it's someones nap time.

much love
xoxo

Baby Diva Birthday

I cannot believe in just one months time my Baby Diva will be 1! How does this happen? Sneaking up on me so quickly, it hurts! I think so much so because she is my last baby...

Now, I am no photographer but I did have to take a photography class for my graphics major. It was fun and now I take my own photos of the littles to save on extra expenses.

While at target I found this cute burlap banner for $3 in the Bins when you walk in. I applied her name with white stickers I found in the school supply section. The background, a $3 tube of wrapping paper.

Of course the images are at home images and not prize worthy but they are adorable and will be perfect for her 1st birthday announcement/invites! :)

A great resource I've found to be an amazing benefit for editing is TheCoffeShopBlog.com
