Eden's First Boho Birthday Bash


Just four weeks prior to her birthday, we decided we were going to celebrate Eden's birthday with an intimate party. Some personal circumstances dictated that, but I'm so happy we were able to. She brings so much joy to our little family on a daily basis, this past year with her has been memorable it was only appropriate to celebrate her.



Chubby-wubby, 

You are loving, smart and your gentle soul is one of a kind. You came into our family and instantly our hearts grew a thousand times bigger. We could no longer be without you baby girl. God knew exactly what he was doing when he blessed us with you. As a family, first we had each other, then we had you, now we have everything! My heart will forever be walking outside my body in the form you and your sister. 

Love you forever x infinity,
Mama 





I'm so glad I went through and completed taking Eden's monthly photo in the same 
spot each month. My, how fast my baby grew. So fun to look back at

I searched everywhere for a special guest book, but had no luck...
When all else fails, DIY! ;)



"with grace in her heart & flowers in her hair" was the main theme


ONE, I still cannot believe it


Can't go wrong with gold-dipped feathers

I made a variety of dreamcatchers... 



the DIY teepee I had made for the Mother's Day mini sessions I offered earlier this year
entertained some kiddos during the party! Aren't tepees just so fun!? :) 


 had temporary tattoos for the kiddos AND adults ;)

Emma's ballerina birthday party!

I'm really excited to share this entry with you. It's really close to my heart. Approximately a month ago my husband & I decided to have a birthday party for our daughter Emma. I'll be honest, at first we weren't going to do anything. Or maybe just a little cake here at home with the grandparents. But that was it. Then, I began thinking about it. And eventually had a change of heart. We decided to make this about celebrating the love & happiness our daughter has brought us & those near to us! For many reason tons of babies don't make it to their first birthday & that in itself was a reason to celebrate. I knew for sure I wanted this celebration to be intimate and full of joy! So that's what we did...
Looking back, all the hard work paid off seeing Emma laugh & enjoy herself that day. I had a blast making most of the details (which she can careless about today, but hopefully one day will cherish). I love crafting so it truly was a ton of fun!


A whole-hearted thank you to all who attended... you all hold a special place in our hearts.



Baby girl, may God continue to bless your life & keep you healthy and safe in His will... We love you more than words and actions can express! This past year has exceeded our exceptions. I never knew I could love someone soo much. Your everything I ever dreamed in a child and more. I love your kind heart & warm hugs. Morning snuggles are the best with you. I know I say this like all the time, but I'm truly blessed to be your mommy. 














Center-pieces along with two-sided frame at each table


Love me some lace ;)


"watch me grow" banner made out of doilies!
