life is a blur.

Sometimes I feel like I need to check in with my iPhone to see if things in my life really happened.  That is the case last weekend-  I arrived home from NYC at midnight on Thursday and scurried for the next 36 hours to pull together E’s birthday party as well as a porch photoshoot.  Despite an amazing level of stress, fast food, acne and lack of showers- we got it done.  I can’t wait to show you all the pictures!  Here’s what I do have (from my iPhone.)

The Louax.

About 11 months ago, Lou exclaimed that she wanted a Lorax party for her fifth birthday.  At the time, she had just turned four, so I thought for sure she’d change her mind.  She didn’t.  So to celebrate our baby girl’s five amazing years on this planet, we had the Louax party.  It was the most perfect day.
Once again, Ryann Colleen Photography took the most amazing pictures.  We are so grateful to have them to always remember this special day.

Come, Create and Celebrate.

We had the absolute best time for E’s 7th birthday.  This year, we loaded up a van full of seven girls and headed out to Confetti Studio in Warrenton.  My friend Annabel and her friend Alessandra started Confetti Studio just over a year ago and just moved into their new beautiful space.  These might be two of the most creative women I’ve ever met– and that’s saying something.  The girls had the absolute best time creating and celebrating!
They painted beads to make adorable necklaces.
Then cut out shapes and used the sewing machine to make their own garland.
Lou was quite proud of her finished product.
Annabel and Alessandra- thank you for giving us a van full of happy girls.
The best part about it all was how appreciative E was… Something changed within her this year.   She has always been happy about her birthdays, but this year she went out of her way to thank us for all of our hard work.  Melted my heart.
Happy, Happy Birthday to my girl.  We love you so very much.
